Abstract

A strong source of relatively active ice nuclei has been identified within the surface litter layer of tea plantations around Kericho, Kenya. This area also has the earth's largest known hailfall frequency. Aerosols produced from the tea litter retain their ice nucleation activity.DOI: 10.1111/j.2153-3490.1982.tb01796.x
