Abstract
The membrane filter technique for detecting ice nuclei in atmospheric air has the disadvantage that the measured concentration decreases with the volume of air sampled. Various possible causes are investigated. The effect is found to be due to the presence of small numbers of ice nuclei on the filters prior to use, which give a spurious “background count,” and to the presence of other particles, sampled simultaneously with the ice nuclei, which prevent the latter from being detected.
