Heterogeneous depositional nucleation of ice particles may dominate in atmospheric regions with very low temperatures, where low vapor pressures and insoluble nuclei would be expected. However, depositional ice nucleation has not been studied extensively at temperatures below 200 K and not at all below 170 K. Here, we show results of a study of heterogeneous depositional nucleation of ice on a solid silicon substrate at temperatures from 150 to 180 K. The results presented herein demonstrate an unexpected temperature dependence in which very high critical supersaturations are required to nucleate ice at T ≤ 180 K. The vapor pressures necessary for nucleation below 175 K are greater than the vapor saturation for supercooled liquid water. The temperature dependence observed is not predicted by classical heterogeneous nucleation theory, when assuming a temperature-independent contact parameter, m. Here, we use our new measurements in combination with previously published data to derive a temperature-dependen...
