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 …

New particle formation of liquid or solid nanoparticles from gas-phase precursors is a
decisive process in Earth's atmosphere and is considered one of the largest uncertainties in …

Understanding the atmospheric new particle formation (NPF) process within the global
range is important for revealing the budget of atmospheric aerosols and their impacts. We …

This paper presents the light-scattering properties of atmospheric aerosol particles
measured over the past decade at 28 ACTRIS observatories, which are located mainly in …

Aerosol particles play important roles in regional air quality and global climate change. In
this study, we analyzed 2 years (2011–2013) of measurements of submicron particles (6 …

Binary nucleation of sulfuric acid and water as well as ternary nucleation involving ammonia
are thought to be the dominant processes responsible for new particle formation (NPF) in the …

Aerosol particles are a complex component of the atmospheric system that influences
climate directly by interacting with solar radiation, and indirectly by contributing to cloud …

Six years of aerosol size distribution measurements between 20 and 600 nm diameters and
total aerosol concentration above 10 nm from March 2008 to February 2014 at the high …
