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 …

Atmospheric aerosols and their effect on clouds are thought to be important for
anthropogenic radiative forcing of the climate, yet remain poorly understood. Globally …

The literature on atmospheric particulate matter (PM), or atmospheric aerosol, has increased
enormously over the last 2 decades and amounts now to some 1500–2000 papers per year …

A major fraction of atmospheric aerosol particles, which affect both air quality and climate,
form from gaseous precursors in the atmosphere. Highly oxygenated organic molecules …

This review intends to critically assess recent findings related to nucleation and growth of
atmospheric nanoparticles, with an emphasis on the understanding of these processes at a …

The formation of new atmospheric aerosol particles and their subsequent growth have been
observed frequently at various locations all over the world. The atmospheric nucleation rate …

Atmospheric new-particle formation affects climate and is one of the least understood
atmospheric aerosol processes. The complexity and variability of the atmosphere has …

Real-time air quality forecasting (RT-AQF), a new discipline of the atmospheric sciences,
represents one of the most far-reaching development and practical applications of science …

Nucleation is a fundamental step in atmospheric new-particle formation. However,
laboratory experiments on nucleation have systematically failed to demonstrate sulfuric acid …
