## Abstract A fairly wide range of 28 naturallyβoccurring mineral dusts has been tested for ability to act as ice nuclei. 19 substances, mainly silicate minerals of the clay and mica groups, are found to be effective at β18Β°C; seven of these are active above β10Β°C. The most abundant of these is kao
## Abstract Silverβiodide freezing nuclei, together with a tracer of zincβsulphide particles, were released from a mountain top and detected in an aircraft. The iceβnucleating properties of the silver iodide decayed in the daytime but not at night. The ambient temperature did not appear to affect t
