Short summary

The study analyzes a novel set of cloud measurements relevant to the genesis of atmospheric ice particles. Issues addressed are 1) the DeMott et al. (2010) formula describing the abundance of ice nucleating particles and the degree to which that formula is consistent with our in situ measurements, 2) the discrepancy between the DeMott et al. formula and measurements made in the AIDA chamber in Karlsruhe, Germany (Niemand et al., 2012), and 3) the time dependence of atmospheric ice nucleation.
