Short summary
Ice-nucleating particles (INPs) are important for cloud formation and properties affecting weather and climate. This article presents a method coupling an offline ice nucleus counter to an electron microscope to obtain information, not only about INP number concentrations but also about physico-chemical properties (e.g., size and chemical composition) relevant to ice nucleation on single particles. The method was evaluated on the basis of a case study at the high-altitude research station Jungfraujoch.
