Heterogeneous ice nucleating particle (INP) concentrations are reported for a site on the eastern margin of Beijing, China, during the period 4 May to 4 June 2018. INP concentrations were measured continuously at −20, −25, and −30 °C in a repeating cycle by a newly developed, automated continuous flow diffusion chamber, and reached concentrations as high as 2800 sL−1 during dust‐impacted periods. Study average concentrations were 70 ± 70, 230 ± 290, and 430 ± 500 sL−1 at −20, −25, and −30 °C. There was no clear relationship between pollution periods, identified based on fine‐mode particle concentration increases, and INP concentrations or characteristics. Other anthropogenic emissions, such as non‐combustion industrial or agricultural activities play an unresolved role.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
