Ice nucleating particles active at -8 degrees C or warmer (INP-8) are produced by plants and by microorganisms living from and on them. Laboratory studies have shown that large numbers of INP-8 are produced by decaying leaves. At three widely dispersed locations in Northwestern Eurasia, we saw, from an analysis of PM10 filter samples, that seasonal median concentrations of INP-8 in the boundary layer doubled from summer to autumn. Concentrations of INP-8 increased in autumn soon after the normalized differential vegetation index had started to decrease. Whether the large-scale phenological event of leaf senescence and shedding in autumn has an impact on ice formation in clouds is a justified question.
