Short summary
This study presents a comprehensive, publicly available ice nucleating particles (INP) dataset from the U.S. Department of Energy Atmospheric Radiation Measurement (ARM) user facility across diverse environments, including Arctic, agricultural, urban, marine, and mountainous sites. Samples are collected via fixed and mobile platforms and processed using a standardized pipeline. The dataset supports observational and modelling analyses of seasonal, spatial, and compositional variability in INPs.
