Molecular understanding of sulphuric acid–amine particle nucleation in the atmosphere
Nucleation of aerosol particles from trace atmospheric vapours is thought to provide up to
half of global cloud condensation nuclei. Aerosols can cause a net cooling of climate by …

Role of sulphuric acid, ammonia and galactic cosmic rays in atmospheric aerosol nucleation
Atmospheric aerosols exert an important influence on climate through their effects on
stratiform cloud albedo and lifetime and the invigoration of convective storms. Model …

The molecular identification of organic compounds in the atmosphere: state of the art and challenges
The Earth's atmosphere offers a striking contrast with other known planets by its rich organic
composition, which results almost exclusively from the presence of life on the planet. About …

Effects of global change during the 21st century on the nitrogen cycle
The global nitrogen (N) cycle at the beginning of the 21st century has been shown to be
strongly influenced by the inputs of reactive nitrogen (N r) from human activities, including …

Amines are likely to enhance neutral and ion-induced sulfuric acid-water nucleation in the atmosphere more effectively than ammonia
We have studied the structure and formation thermodynamics of dimer clusters containing H
2 SO 4 or HSO 4− together with ammonia and seven different amines possibly present in the …
