Short summary
A small fraction of aerosol particles, microscopic pieces of solid or liquid in the air, are important for controlling the freezing processes in clouds, which in turn impacts rain and snow. This work examines how concentrations of these special and important particles change throughout the year at a measurement location in the Colorado Rocky Mountains. We find at this location, most of these special particles are associated with soil dusts in the air, and concentrations decrease in the winter.
