Journal ArticleDOI

Measurements of new particle formation and ultrafine particle growth rates at a clean continental site

TL;DR: In this article, the authors used the same approach to estimate particle growth rates at Idaho Hill, Colorado, and found that the growth rates were ∼5 to 10 times higher than can be explained by condensation of H2SO4 and its associated water.
Journal ArticleDOI

Measured atmospheric new particle formation rates: implications for nucleation mechanisms

TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that atmospheric nucleation may occur by a collision-limited process, rather than by a condensation/evaporation controlled process as is assumed in the classical theory.
Journal ArticleDOI

New Particle Formation in the Remote Troposphere: A Comparison of Observations at Various Sites

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors show that new particles are formed by homogenous nucleation over a wide range of conditions in the remote troposphere, with large nucleation events found exclusively in regions of enhanced sulfuric acid vapor (H2SO4g) concentrations, with maximum concentrations never exceeding 5×107 molecules cm−3.
Journal ArticleDOI

Measurement of Expected Nucleation Precursor Species and 3–500-nm Diameter Particles at Mauna Loa Observatory, Hawaii

TL;DR: In this article, the Mauna Loa Observatory, Hawaii, made measurements of expected homogeneous nucleation precursors and aerosols from 28 June to 27 July 1992, using a mass spectrometer, which consisted of ultrafine particle concentrations (∼3-4 nm diameter) and fine particle size distributions (15-500 nm diameter).
