Arctic Ocean Bioaerosols Influence Ice-Nucleating Particles
• Bioaerosols from terrestrial ecosystems significantly contribute to ice-nucleating particles (INPs) over the Arctic Ocean.
• Primary biological aerosols (PBAs) are highly effective INPs, influencing the ice and water balance of mixed-phase clouds (MPCs).
• Research highlights the importance of understanding INP sources for improving climate models and weather forecasts in the Arctic region.
