Molecular understanding of the suppression of new-particle formation by isoprene
/ Heinritzi, Martin (Frankfurt U.) ; Dada, Lubna (Helsinki U.) ; Simon, Mario (Frankfurt U.) ; Stolzenburg, Dominik (Vienna U.) ; Wagner, Andrea C (Frankfurt U. ; U. Colorado, Boulder) ; Fischer, Lukas (Innsbruck U.) ; Ahonen, Lauri R (Helsinki U.) ; Amanatidis, Stavros (Caltech, Pasadena (main)) ; Baalbaki, Rima (Helsinki U.) ; Baccarini, Andrea (PSI, Villigen) et al.
Nucleation of atmospheric vapours produces more
than half of global cloud condensation nuclei and so has
an important influence on climate. Recent studies show
that monoterpene (C$_{10}$H$_{16}$) oxidation yields highly oxygenated products that can nucleate with or without sulfuric acid. [...]

Rapid growth of organic aerosol nanoparticles over a wide tropospheric temperature range
/ Stolzenburg, Dominik (Vienna U.) ; Fischer, Lukas (Innsbruck U.) ; Vogel, Alexander L (Frankfurt U. ; CERN ; PSI, Villigen) ; Heinritzi, Martin (Frankfurt U.) ; Schervish, Meredith (Carnegie Mellon U.) ; Simon, Mario (Frankfurt U.) ; Wagner, Andrea C (Frankfurt U.) ; Dada, Lubna (Helsinki U.) ; Ahonen, Lauri R (Helsinki U.) ; Amorim, Antonio (Lisbon U. ; CMAF, Lisbon) et al.
Nucleation and growth of aerosol particles from atmospheric vapors constitutes a major source of global cloud condensation nuclei (CCN). The fraction of newly formed particles that reaches CCN sizes is highly sensitive to particle growth rates, especially for particle sizes <10 nm, where coagulation losses to larger aerosol particles are greatest.

Multicomponent new particle formation from sulfuric acid, ammonia, and biogenic vapors
/ Lehtipalo, Katrianne (U. Helsinki (main) ; PSI, Villigen ; Finnish Meteorological Inst.) ; Yan, Chao (U. Helsinki (main)) ; Dada, Lubna (U. Helsinki (main)) ; Bianchi, Federico (U.

Helsinki (main)) ; Amorim, Antonio (Lisbon, CENTRA ; Lisbon U.) ; Baccarini, Andrea (PSI, Villigen) et al.
A major fraction of atmospheric aerosol particles, which affect both air quality and climate, form from gaseous precursors in the atmosphere. Highly oxygenated organic molecules (HOMs), formed by oxidation of biogenic volatile organic compounds, are known to participate in particle formation and growth. [...]

Intercomparison study and optical asphericity measurements of small ice particles in the CERN CLOUD experiment

Optical probes are frequently used for the detection of microphysical cloud particle properties such as liquid and ice phase, size and morphology. These properties can eventually influence the angular light scattering properties of cirrus clouds as well as the growth and accretion mechanisms of single cloud particles. [...]

The role of ions in new particle formation in the CLOUD chamber
/ Wagner, Robert ; Yan, Chao ; Lehtipalo, Katrianne ; Duplissy, Jonathan ; Nieminen, Tuomo ; Kangasluoma, Juha ; Ahonen, Lauri R ; Dada, Lubna ; Kontkanen, Jenni ; Manninen, Hanna E (CERN) et al.
The formation of secondary particles in the atmosphere accounts for more than half of global cloud condensation nuclei. Experiments at the CERN CLOUD (Cosmics Leaving OUtdoor Droplets) chamber have underlined the importance of ions for new particle formation, but quantifying their effect in the atmosphere remains challenging. [...]

Influence of temperature on the molecular composition of ions and charged clusters during pure biogenic nucleation
/ Frege, Carla (PSI, Villigen) ; Ortega, Ismael K ; Rissanen, Matti P ; Praplan, Arnaud P ; Steiner, Gerhard ; Heinritzi, Martin ; Ahonen, Lauri ; Amorim, António ; Bernhammer, Anne-Kathrin ; Bianchi, Federico et al.
It was recently shown by the CERN CLOUD experiment that biogenic highly oxygenated molecules (HOMs) form particles under atmospheric conditions in the absence of sulfuric acid, where ions enhance the nucleation rate by 1–2 orders of magnitude. The biogenic HOMs were produced from ozonolysis of α-pinene at 5 °C. [...]

Causes and importance of new particle formation in the present-day and preindustrial atmospheres

New particle formation has been estimated to produce around half of cloud-forming particlesin the present-day atmosphere, via gas-to-particle conversion. Here we assess the importance of newparticle formation (NPF) for both the present-day and the preindustrial atmospheres [...]

Aqueous phase oxidation of sulphur dioxide by ozone in cloud droplets

The growth of aerosol due to the aqueous phase oxidation of sulfur dioxide by ozone was measured in laboratory-generated clouds created in the Cosmics Leaving OUtdoor Droplets (CLOUD) chamber at the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN). Experiments were performed at 10 and −10 °C, on acidic (sulfuric acid) and on partially to fully neutralised (ammonium sulfate) seed aerosol. [...]

Observation of viscosity transition in α-pinene secondary organic aerosol
/ Järvinen, Emma (KIT, Karlsruhe) ; Ignatius, Karoliina (TROPOS, Leibniz) ; Nichman, Leonid (Manchester U.) ; Kristensen, Thomas B (TROPOS, Leibniz) ; Fuchs, Claudia (PSI, Villigen) ; Hoyle, Christopher R (PSI, Villigen ; Davos Observ.) ; Höppel, Niko (KIT, Karlsruhe) ; Corbin, Joel C (PSI, Villigen) ; Craven, Jill (Caltech) ; Duplissy, Jonathan (Helsinki U.) et al.
Under certain conditions, secondary organic aerosol (SOA) particles can exist in the atmosphere in an amorphous solid or semi-solid state. To determine their relevance to processes such as ice nucleation or chemistry occurring within particles requires knowledge of the temperature and relative humidity (RH) range for SOA to exist in these states. [...]

Heterogeneous ice nucleation of viscous secondary organic aerosol produced from ozonolysis of α-pinene

There are strong indications that particles containing secondary organic aerosol (SOA) exhibit amorphous solid or semi-solid phase states in the atmosphere. This may facilitate heterogeneous ice nucleation and thus influence cloud properties. [...]
