Lehtipalo 2016 Nature Communications
The growth of freshly formed aerosol particles can be the bottleneck in their survival to cloud condensation nuclei. It is therefore crucial to understand how particles grow in the atmosphere. Insufficient experimental data has impeded a profound understanding of nano-particle growth under atmospheric conditions. Here we study nano-particle growth in the CLOUD (Cosmics Leaving OUtdoors…

Duplissy 2016 Press release
Merikanto et al. (2016) and Duplissy et al. (2016) are two companion papers recently published in JGR atmosphere. The papers investigate new particle formation in neutral and ion-induced binary sulfuric acid-water systems, a long thought mechanism of particle formation. The companion papers tackle particle formation system from a theoretical and experimental approach, respectively. In Merikanto…
