The ice nucleation ability of one of the most abundant types of fungal spores found in the atmosphere (2010, unknown): “The ice nucleating ability of pollen, relatively large bioaerosol particles with a diameter range of 10–100 µm , has been addressed in several studies (Diehl et al., 2001, 2002; von Blohn et al., 2005).”
A parameterization of cirrus cloud formation: Heterogeneous freezing (2003, background): “[14] It is questionable whether a significant amount of very potent IN, deriving from surface sources such as pollen [Diehl et al., 2001] reaches the cirrus levels; it is conceiv- able that such IN are mostly removed by precipitation scavenging.”
Ice nucleation activity in the widespread soil fungus Mortierella alpina (2015, unknown): “…sources of biological IN, with some able to initiate the formation of ice at relatively high temperatures (Vali et al., 1976; Kieft, 1988; Pouleur et al., 1992; Diehl et al., 2001; Morris et al., 2004; Christner et al., 2008; Bowers et al., 2009; Georgakopoulos et al., 2009; Iannone et al., 2011).”
Ice nucleation by water-soluble macromolecules (2014, background): “The pollen of some plant species showed appreciable INA in different lab studies, among which that of the silver birch (Betula pendula or alba) was the most active (Diehl et al., 2001, 2002; von Blohn et al., 2005; Pummer et al., 2012; Augustin et al., 2013).”
Global indirect aerosol effects: a review (2004, unknown): “Unlike CCN, ice nuclei are generally insoluble particles, such as certain mineral dusts, soot, as well as some biological materials, e.g., Levin and Yankofsky (1983); Diehl et al. (2001); Gorbunov et al. (2001).”
Microbiology and atmospheric processes: the role of biological particles in cloud physics (2007, unknown): “, 1992), and INA pollen (Diehl et al., 2001), though much less is known about these than about the INA bacteria.”
Aerosol cloud precipitation interactions. Part 1. The nature and sources of cloud-active aerosols (2008, background): “Primary biogenic particles, e.g., bacteria, pollen and spores, can also induce ice formation at temperatures well above the range of homogeneous freezing (Vali et al., 1976; Szyrmer and Zawadzki, 1997; Diehl et al., 2001; Möhler et al., 2007).”
Suspendable macromolecules are responsible for ice nucleation activity of birch and conifer pollen (2012, background): “In the past the ice nucleation activity of pollen has been explained by the general roughness and porosity of the pollen surface (Diehl et al., 2001), thus generating possibly active sites for ice nucleation.”
Ice nucleation activity of bacteria isolated from cloud water (2013, unknown): “pollen (Diehl et al., 2001), fungi (e.”
Fluorescent biological aerosol particles measured with the Waveband Integrated Bioaerosol Sensor WIBS-4: laboratory tests combined with a one year field study (2012, background): “PBAP are potentially important for cloud formation processes because they have the potential to act as effective cloud condensation nuclei (CCN) (Petters and Kreidenweis, 2007) and heterogeneous ice nuclei (IN) at temperatures as warm as −2 ◦C (Diehl et al., 2001, 2002).”
