Abstract

This practical course offers the opportunity to get to know lab work on a topic of atmospheric importance.

Content

Experiments are carried out to investigate the freezing of water droplets and ice cloud formation. Water-in-oil emulsions are prepared and cooled in a DSC (differential scanning calorimeter). The measured freezing temperatures are put in context with cloud formation in the atmosphere.

Resources
