Deposition freezing, pore condensation freezing and adsorption: three processes, one description?

Heterogeneous ice nucleation impacts the hydrological cycle and climate through affecting cloud microphysical state and radiative properties. Despite decades of research, a quantitative description and understanding of heterogeneous ice nucleation remains ...

Blue ice in Antarctica: The gateway to travel in time and space

Devis Tuia, Benjamin Alexander Kellenberger, Marc Conrad Russwurm, Veronica Tollenaar

Antarctica has unique areas that expose blue ice, which contrast to most of the continent (~98%) that is covered by snow. Some of these blue ice areas (BIAs) contain meteorite concentrations and (very) old ice, making them very valuable for understanding o ...

The role of secondary ice production in mixed-phase clouds

Paraskevi Georgakaki

Clouds are omnipresent in the Earth's atmosphere. Their phase composition significantly modulates their interaction with solar and terrestrial radiation, as well as precipitation formation. Particularly for clouds containing both phases, known as mixed-pha ...

The microbiome of cryospheric ecosystems

Tom Ian Battin, Hannes Markus Peter, Susheel Bhanu Busi, Grégoire Marie Octave Edouard Michoud, Leïla Ezzat, Massimo Bourquin, Tyler Joe Kohler, Stylianos Fodelianakis

The cryosphere includes those parts of Earth where water or soil is frozen, such as snow, ice, glaciers and permafrost soils. Here, the authors present a global inventory of cryospheric microbial communities and their genetic repertoires. ...

The Microphysics of Stratiform Precipitation During OLYMPEX: Compatibility Between Triple-Frequency Radar and Airborne In Situ Observations

Jussi Sakari Leinonen

The link between stratiform precipitation microphysics and multifrequency radar observables is thoroughly investigated by exploiting simultaneous airborne radar and in situ observations collected from two aircraft during the OLYMPEX/RADEX (Olympic Mountain ...

Salt- and gas-filled ices under planetary conditions

Livia Eleonora Bove Kado, Umbertoluca Ranieri

In recent years, evidence has emerged that solid water can contain substantial amounts of guest species, such as small gas molecules-in gas hydrate structures-or ions-in salty ice structures-and that these 'filled' ice structures can be stable under pressu ...

Energetics of Radiatively Heated Ice-Covered Lakes

Alfred Johny Wüest, Damien Bouffard, Hugo Nicolás Ulloa Sánchez, Kraig Bates Winters

We derive the mechanical energy budget for shallow, ice-covered lakes energized by penetrative solar radiation. Radiation increases the available and background components of the potential energy at different rates. Available potential energy drives under- ...

Hydraulic Reconstruction of the 1818 Gietro Glacial Lake Outburst Flood

Christophe Ancey, Tomás Alfredo Trewhela Palacios, Eric Bardou, Martin Funk

In the spring of 1818, ice avalanches from the Gietro Glacier created an ice dam, which in turn formed a glacial lake in the Drance Valley (Canton of Valais, Switzerland). Today, its maximum volume is estimated to have been 25x10(6) m(3). Cantonal authorit ...

The influence of HCl on the evaporation rates of H2O over water ice in the range 188 to 210 K at small average concentrations

Michel Rossi, Christophe Eric Ludovic Delval

The evaporation flux J(ev)(H2O) of H2O from HCl-doped typically 1.5 mu m or so thick vapor-deposited ice films has been measured in a combined quartz crystal microbalance (QCMB)-residual gas mass spectrometry (MS) experiment. J(ev)(H2O) has been found to s ...

Measurements of precipitation in Dumont d'Urville, Adelie Land, East Antarctica

Alexis Berne, Jacopo Grazioli

The first results of a campaign of intensive observation of precipitation in Dumont d'Urville, Antarctica, are presented. Several instruments collected data from November 2015 to February 2016 or longer, including a polarimetric radar (MXPol), a Micro Rain ...

Simulating ice layer formation under the presence of preferential flow in layered snowpacks

Michael Lehning, Nander Wever, Sebastian Würzer, Charles Fierz

For physics-based snow cover models, simulating the formation of dense ice layers inside the snowpack has been a long-time challenge. Their formation is considered to be tightly coupled to the presence of preferential flow, which is assumed to happen throu ...

Ice-covered Lake Onega: effects of radiation on convection and internal waves

Alfred Johny Wüest, Damien Bouffard, Natacha Tofield-Pasche

Early-spring under-ice convection in the Petrozavodsk Bay of Lake Onega (Russia) was investigated as part of an interdisciplinary research project conducted during March 2015. Measurements performed using a thermistor chain and vertical profiling sensors w ...

Effect of salt on the H-bond symmetrization in ice

Philippe Gillet, Richard Gaal, Livia Eleonora Bove Kado

The richness of the phase diagram of water reduces drastically at very high pressures where only two molecular phases, proton-disordered ice VII and proton-ordered ice VIII, are known. Both phases transform to the centered hydrogen bond atomic phase ice X ...

Search for relativistic magnetic monopoles with IceCube

Shirit Cohen, Mathieu Ribordy, Matthias Wolf, Xiaoxia Bai

We present the first results in the search for relativistic magnetic monopoles with the IceCube detector, a subsurface neutrino telescope located in the South Polar ice cap containing a volume of 1 km(3). This analysis searches data taken on the partially ...

The kinetics of H2O vapor condensation and evaporation on different types of ice in the range 130-210 K

Hubert van den Bergh, Michel Rossi, Pascal Pratte

The kinetics of condensation (kc) and the evaporation flux (J(ev)) of H2O on ice were studied in the range 130-210 K using pulsed-valve and steady-state techniques in a low-pressure flow reactor. The uptake coefficient gamma was measured for different type ...
