Short summary

Ice in the Arctic clouds is initiated by rare particles, and their properties are not well understood due to atmospheric processing. By combining microscopy with freezing experiments, we found that both chemical composition and the thickness and morphological configuration of organic coatings influence ice formation. This finding highlights the importance of particle surface chemistry in cloud formation and offers new insights into how Arctic aerosols influence cloud formation.
