An international study led by the University of Granada is evaluating new atmospheric sampling methods to improve the analysis of aerosols that influence atmospheric processes
An international scientific team led by the University of Granada has carried out pioneering research to improve the measurement of atmospheric particles capable of initiating ice formation in clouds, known as ice-nucleating particles (INPs).
The work, recently published in the journal Atmospheric Measurement Techniques, evaluates different atmospheric sampling methods using the GRAnada Ice Nuclei Spectrometer (GRAINS), developed at the Inter-University Institute for Earth System Research in Andalusia (IISTA). The study compares different strategies for capturing and analysing these particles in the air to determine which offer the most reliable and representative results.
