A synthesis of cloud condensation nuclei counter (CCNC) measurements within the EUCAARI network
(2015)Atmospheric Chemistry and PhysicsCloud condensation nuclei counter (CCNC) measurements performed at 14 locations around the world within the European Integrated project on Aerosol Cloud Climate and Air Quality interactions (EUCAARI) framework have been analysed and discussed with respect to the cloud condensation nuclei (CCN) activation and hygroscopic properties of the atmospheric aerosol. The annual mean ratio of activated cloud condensation nuclei (NCCN) to the total ...Journal Article -
Aerosols and nucleation in eastern China: first insights from the new SORPES-NJU station
(2014)Atmospheric Chemistry and PhysicsAerosols and new particle formation were studied in the western part of the Yangtze River Delta (YRD) at the Station for Observing Regional Processes of the Earth System, Nanjing University (SORPES-NJU). Air ions in the diameter range 0.8–42 nm were measured using an air ion spectrometer, and a differential mobility particle sizer (DMPS) provided particle number size distributions between 6 and 800 nm. Additionally, meteorological data, ...Journal Article -
Primary versus secondary contributions to particle number concentrations in the European boundary layer
(2011)Atmospheric Chemistry and PhysicsIt is important to understand the relative contribution of primary and secondary particles to regional and global aerosol so that models can attribute aerosol radiative forcing to different sources. In large-scale models, there is considerable uncertainty associated with treatments of particle formation (nucleation) in the boundary layer (BL) and in the size distribution of emitted primary particles, leading to uncertainties in predicted ...Journal Article
