The literature on atmospheric particulate matter (PM), or atmospheric aerosol, has increased
enormously over the last 2 decades and amounts now to some 1500–2000 papers per year …

Atmospheric aerosols are complex mixtures of different chemical species, and individual
particles exist in many different shapes and morphologies. Together, these characteristics …

The effect of anthropogenic aerosols on cloud droplet concentrations and radiative
properties is the source of one of the largest uncertainties in the radiative forcing of climate …

New particle formation has been estimated to produce around half of cloud‐forming particles
in the present‐day atmosphere, via gas‐to‐particle conversion. Here we assess the …

The amount of ice present in mixed-phase clouds, which contain both supercooled liquid
water droplets and ice particles, affects cloud extent, lifetime, particle size and radiative …

Aerosols affect the climate system by changing cloud characteristics in many ways. They act
as cloud condensation and ice nuclei, they may inhibit freezing and they could have an …

A modal aerosol module (MAM) has been developed for the Community Atmosphere Model
version 5 (CAM5), the atmospheric component of the Community Earth System Model …

Atmospheric aerosol particles serve as condensation nuclei for the formation of both, cloud
droplets and atmospheric ice particles. As a result, they exert a substantial influence on the …

Atmospheric new-particle formation affects climate and is one of the least understood
atmospheric aerosol processes. The complexity and variability of the atmosphere has …

Cloud condensation nuclei (CCN) are derived from particles emitted directly into the
atmosphere (primary emissions) or from the growth of nanometer-sized particles nucleated …
