Short summary
The surface structure of ice crystals in clouds influences how sunlight travels through the atmosphere and contributes to uncertainty in climate predictions. Because these features are difficult to observe, we present a practical approach for mapping ice crystal surface structure using an established capture technique. Ice crystals were produced in a laboratory cloud chamber and their surfaces were measured in detail. This approach enables reliable mapping of ice crystal surfaces.
