Observational evidence suggests <strong>the</strong> existence of a sulfur-free pathway (starting with <strong>the</strong> dashed arrow) for<br />

freezing of ice at threshold formation conditions. This pathway is probably dominant for low <strong>and</strong> very low fuel<br />

sulfur levels. The sulfur-enhanced path (solid arrows) is controlled by adsorption of oxidized sulfur molecules,<br />

water vapor, <strong>and</strong> scavenging of H 2 SO 4 /H 2 O droplets. Activation into water droplets occurs when <strong>the</strong> relative<br />
