Short summary
Size and shape of small ice particles in the dry and cold atmosphere of inland Antarctica were measured. We observed that particles originating near the surface are smaller than those falling from higher altitudes. Inland Antarctic particles of frozen fog occur at lower concentrations and are less complex than those observed in an urban, polluted environment. These findings can help to improve Antarctic climate models and to accurately interpret satellite observations of the polar atmosphere.
