This review focuses on the observed characteristics of atmospheric new particle formation
(NPF) in different environments of the global troposphere. After a short introduction, we will …

New particle formation (NPF) represents the first step in the complex processes leading to
formation of cloud condensation nuclei. Newly formed nanoparticles affect human health, air …

New particle formation (NPF) is the source of over half of the atmosphere's cloud
condensation nuclei, thus influencing cloud properties and Earth's energy balance. Unlike in …

Air quality transcends all scales with in the atmosphere from the local to the global with
handovers and feedbacks at each scale interaction. Air quality has manifold effects on …

This paper synthesizes the available scientific information connecting atmospheric
nucleation with subsequent cloud condensation nuclei (CCN) formation. We review both …

An advanced particle microphysics model with a number of computationally efficient
schemes has been incorporated into a global chemistry transport model (GEOS-Chem) to …

This review is based on ca. 260 publications, 93 of which included data on the temporal and
spatial variation of the concentration of small ions (< 1.6 nm in diameter) especially in the …

We present comprehensive results on continuous atmospheric cluster and particle
measurements in the size range~ 1–42 nm within the European Integrated project on …

Sulphuric acid and organic vapours have been identified as the key components in the
ubiquitous secondary new particle formation in the atmosphere. In order to assess their …

Aerosols of biogenic and anthropogenic origin affect the total radiative forcing of global
climate. Poor knowledge of the pre-industrial aerosol concentration and composition, in …
