An ice nucleus may be either a freezing nucleus or a sublimation nucleus. Recent studies of ice nucleation strongly indicate that natural ice nuclei, whatever their exact physicochemical nature, are freezing nuclei rather than sublimation nuclei. 8, record 1, English, - ice%20nucleus

[...] certains aérosols, appelés «noyaux glacigènes», peuvent provoquer la nucléation de gouttelettes à des températures de l'ordre de -4 °C; plus la température est basse, plus ils sont actifs, et c'est ainsi qu'à -20 °C, près de 90 % des gouttelettes ont été nucléées en glace. 5, record 1, French, - noyau%20gla%C3%A7og%C3%A8ne

Un noyau de condensation est une particule solide ou liquide de très petite taille, flottant au sein de la troposphère, et sur laquelle peuvent s'accumuler des gouttelettes d'eau par changement de phase de la vapeur d'eau environnante qui se transforme en eau liquide après condensation. On parle de noyau de condensation solide quand ce sont des cristaux de glace qui, par condensation solide, s'accumulent sur la particule flottant dans l'air. 4, record 2, French, - noyau%20de%20sublimation
