Organic aerosol formation via sulphate cluster activation
Kulmala, Markku; Kerminen, Veli-Matti; Anttila, Tatu; Laaksonen, Ari; O'Dowd, Colin D. (Wiley-Blackwell, 2004-02-25)[ 1] The formation of aerosols, and subsequent cloud condensation nuclei, remains one of the least understood atmospheric processes upon which global climate change critically depends. Under atmospheric conditions, the ... -
Surface tension prevails over solute effect in organic-influenced cloud droplet activation
Ovadnevaite, Jurgita; Zuend, Andreas; Laaksonen, Ari; Sanchez, Kevin J.; Roberts, Greg; Ceburnis, Darius; Decesari, Stefano; Rinaldi, Matteo; Hodas, Natasha; Facchini, Maria Cristina; Seinfeld, John H.; O’ Dowd, Colin (Springer Nature, 2017-06-21)The spontaneous growth of cloud condensation nuclei (CCN) into cloud droplets under supersaturated water vapour conditions is described by classic Kohler theory(1,2). This spontaneous activation of CCN depends on the ...
