24 Analysis of IN activation at collocated dust & cloud areas above Europe & North Africa Ice Water Content (IWC) vs. Ice Nuclei Particle Concentration (INPC) for the entire 2012 Mediterranean Sahara PBL Elevated layers 3 clusters emerge, that depend on altitude/location Low clouds (Saharan and Mediterranean) (P>500mb) have two clusters with IN L -1 : important for initiating secondary ice. Elevated clouds (P<500 mb) contain IN L -1 : very important for cirrus clouds development. The sensitivity to IN parameterization form still needs to be assessed.

25 Feature work Finalize the IN product evaluation process through the comparisons with airborne measurements Conclude on the parameterization schemes to be applied Improve INPC retrievals by considering all modes of freezing when necessary in the parameterizations Apply the refined methodology on CALIPSO in order to provide a global climatology of dust IN concentrations
