A continuous, automatic, and portable instrument was developed for detecting and counting ice nuclei in the field and laboratory. The nuclei are activated in a cloud chamber and the resulting ice crystals are counted by an acoustic particle sensor while the water drops are ignored. The instrument is used in aircraft, trucks, and at fixed sites to track silver iodide and natural ice nuclei.
