Agglomeration of charged ice and dust particles in the mesosphere is studied using a classical electrostatic approach, which is extended to capture the induced polarisation of surface charge. Collision outcomes are predicted whilst varying particle s... Read More about The influence of surface charge on the coalescence of ice and dust particles in the mesosphere.
