Formation and growth of fresh atmospheric aerosols: eight years of aerosol size distribution data from SMEAR II, Hyytiälä, Finland

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors analyzed size distributions measured continuously at a boreal forest measurement site at Hyytiala, Finland between 1996 and 2003 and identified days when new aerosol particle formation was taking place as well as days when no formation was detected, removing days with ambiguous status.
Journal ArticleDOI

An improved parameterization for sulfuric acid-water nucleation rates for tropospheric and stratospheric conditions

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors presented parameterized equations for calculation of sulfuric acid-water critical nucleus compositions, critical cluster radii and homogeneous nucleation rates for tropospheric and stratospheric conditions.
Journal ArticleDOI

Toward direct measurement of atmospheric nucleation.

TL;DR: An instrumental setup to measure atmospheric concentrations of both neutral and charged nanometer-sized clusters concludes that a pool of numerous neutral clusters in the sub–3 nanometer size range is continuously present and neutral nucleation dominates over the ion-induced mechanism, at least in boreal forest conditions.
Journal ArticleDOI

Cluster activation theory as an explanation of the linear dependence between formation rate of 3nm particles and sulphuric acid concentration

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present an activation theory, which can explain the observed slope of particle formation, which predicts that the critical cluster contains one to two sulphuric acid molecules.
