The ice nucleating effectiveness of the loess particles has been tested by directly dispersing them in cloud chamber. Their effectiveness can reach up 4×106 per gram at －15℃. From these results the high ice nuclei concentration observed during dust storms could be explained. It is considered that the airborne dust particles from the Loess Plateau of China would provide abundant ice nuclei for the downward area.
