This review focuses on the observed characteristics of atmospheric new particle formation
(NPF) in different environments of the global troposphere. After a short introduction, we will …

This review intends to critically assess recent findings related to nucleation and growth of
atmospheric nanoparticles, with an emphasis on the understanding of these processes at a …

Atmospheric nucleation is the dominant source of aerosol particles in the global atmosphere
and an important player in aerosol climatic effects. The key steps of this process occur in the …

With rapid industrialization and urbanization, China is facing a great challenge with regard
to severe fog-haze pollutions, which were characterized by high fine particulate …

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 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 …

Atmospheric aerosols formed by nucleation of vapors affect radiative forcing and therefore
climate. However, the underlying mechanisms of nucleation remain unclear, particularly the …

The recent development in measurement techniques and theoretical understanding has
enabled us to study atmospheric vapor, cluster and nanoparticle concentrations, dynamics …

For atmospheric sulfuric acid (SA) concentrations the presence of dimethylamine (DMA) at
mixing ratios of several parts per trillion by volume can explain observed boundary layer …

This paper synthesizes the available scientific information connecting atmospheric
nucleation with subsequent cloud condensation nuclei (CCN) formation. We review both …
