/ Shen, Jiali (Helsinki U.) ; Russell, Douglas M (Frankfurt U., FIAS) ; DeVivo, Jenna (Carnegie Mellon U.) ; Kunkler, Felix (Mainz, Max Planck Inst.) ; Baalbaki, Rima (Helsinki U.) ; Mentler, Bernhard (Innsbruck U.) ; Scholz, Wiebke (Innsbruck U.) ; Yu, Wenjuan (Helsinki U.) ; Caudillo-Plath, Lucía (Frankfurt U., FIAS) ; Sommer, Eva (CERN ; Vienna U.) et al.
Abstract
Aircraft observations have revealed ubiquitous new particle formation in the tropical upper troposphere over the Amazon1,2 and the Atlantic and Pacific oceans3,4. Although the vapours involved remain unknown, recent satellite observations have revealed surprisingly high night-time isoprene mixing ratios of up to 1 part per billion by volume (ppbv) in the tropical upper troposphere5.

Iodine oxoacids enhance nucleation of sulfuric acid particles in the atmosphere
/ He, Xu-Cheng (Helsinki U. ; Carnegie Mellon U. ; Helsinki Inst. of Phys.) ; Simon, Mario (Frankfurt U., FIAS ; Frankfurt U.) ; Iyer, Siddharth (Tampere U. of Tech.) ; Xie, Hong-Bin (Shanghai Jiao Tong U.) ; Rörup, Birte (Helsinki U.) ; Shen, Jiali (Helsinki U.) ; Finkenzeller, Henning (Colorado U. ; Colorado U., CIRES) ; Stolzenburg, Dominik (Helsinki U. ; Vienna U.) ; Zhang, Rongjie (Shanghai Jiao Tong U.) ; Baccarini, Andrea (PSI, Villigen ; Ecole Polytechnique, Lausanne) et al.
The main nucleating vapor in the atmosphere is thought to be sulfuric acid (H2SO4), stabilized by ammonia (NH3). However, in marine and polar regions, NH3 is generally low, and H2SO4 is frequently found together with iodine oxoacids [HIOx, i.e., iodic acid (HIO3) and iodous acid (HIO2)]. [...]

High Gas-Phase Methanesulfonic Acid Production in the OH-Initiated Oxidation of Dimethyl Sulfide at Low Temperatures
/ Shen, Jiali ; Scholz, Wiebke ; He, Xu-Cheng ; Zhou, Putian ; Marie, Guillaume ; Wang, Mingyi ; Marten, Ruby ; Surdu, Mihnea ; Rörup, Birte ; Baalbaki, Rima et al.
Dimethyl sulfide (DMS) influences climate via cloud condensation nuclei (CCN) formation resulting from its oxidation products (mainly
methanesulfonic acid, MSA, and sulfuric acid, H2SO4). Despite their importance,
accurate prediction of MSA and H2SO4 from DMS oxidation remains
challenging. [...]

Synergistic HNO$_{3}$–H$_{2}$SO$_{4}$–NH$_{3}$ upper tropospheric particle formation
/ Wang, Mingyi ; Xiao, Mao ; Bertozzi, Barbara ; Marie, Guillaume ; Rörup, Birte ; Schulze, Benjamin ; Bardakov, Roman ; He, Xu-Cheng ; Shen, Jiali ; Scholz, Wiebke et al.
New particle formation in the upper free troposphere is a major global source of cloud condensation nuclei (CCN). However, the precursor vapours that drive the process are not well understood. [...]

Determination of the collision rate coefficient between charged iodic acid clusters and iodic acid using the appearance time method
/ He, Xu-Cheng (U. Helsinki (main)) ; Iyer, Siddharth (U. Helsinki (main)) ; Sipilä, Mikko (U. Helsinki (main)) ; Ylisirniö, Arttu (UEF, Kuopio) ; Peltola, Maija (Helsinki U.) ; Kontkanen, Jenni (Helsinki U.) ; Baalbaki, Rima (Helsinki U.) ; Simon, Mario (Goethe U., Frankfurt (main)) ; Kürten, Andreas (Goethe U., Frankfurt (main)) ; Tham, Yee Jun (Helsinki U.) et al.
Ions enhance the formation rate of atmospheric aerosol particles, which play an important role in Earth’s radiative balance. Ion-induced nucleation involves the stepwise accretion of neutral monomers onto a molecular cluster containing an ion, which helps to stabilize the cluster against evaporation. [...]

Zeppelin-led study on the onset of new particle formation in the planetary boundary layer
/ Lampilahti, Janne (Helsinki U.) ; Manninen, Hanna E (CERN) ; Nieminen, Tuomo (Helsinki U.) ; Mirme, Sander (Tartu U.) ; Ehn, Mikael (Helsinki U.) ; Pullinen, Iida (Kuopio U.) ; Leino, Katri (Helsinki U.) ; Schobesberger, Siegfried (Helsinki U. ; Kuopio U.) ; Kangasluoma, Juha (Helsinki U.) ; Kontkanen, Jenni (Helsinki U.) et al.
We compared observations of aerosol particle formation and growth in different parts of the planetary boundary layer at two different environments that have frequent
new particle formation (NPF) events. In summer 2012 we
had a campaign in Po Valley, Italy (urban background), and
in spring 2013 a similar campaign took place in Hyytiälä,
Finland (rural background). [...]

The driving factors of new particle formation and growth in the polluted boundary layer
/ Xiao, Mao ; Hoyle, Christopher R ; Dada, Lubna ; Stolzenburg, Dominik ; Kürten, Andreas ; Wang, Mingyi ; Lamkaddam, Houssni ; Garmash, Olga ; Mentler, Bernhard ; Molteni, Ugo et al.
New particle formation (NPF) is a significant
source of atmospheric particles, affecting climate and air
quality. Understanding the mechanisms involved in urban
aerosols is important to develop effective mitigation strategies. [...]

Formation of Highly Oxygenated Organic Molecules from $\alpha$-Pinene Ozonolysis: Chemical Characteristics, Mechanism, and Kinetic Model Development
/ Molteni, Ugo (PSI, Villigen) ; Simon, Mario (Frankfurt U.) ; Heinritzi, Martin (Frankfurt U.) ; Hoyle, Christopher R (PSI, Villigen) ; Bernhammer, Anne-Kathrin (Ionicon GesmbH, Innsbruck) ; Bianchi, Federico (Helsinki U.) ; Breitenlechner, Martin (Innsbruck U.) ; Brilke, Sophia (Frankfurt U.) ; Dias, António (Lisbon U.) ; Duplissy, Jonathan (Helsinki U. ; Helsinki Inst. of Phys.) et al.
Terpenes are emitted by vegetation, and their oxidation in the
atmosphere is an important source of secondary organic aerosol (SOA). A part of
this oxidation can proceed through an autoxidation process, yielding highly
oxygenated organic molecules (HOMs) with low saturation vapor pressure. [...]

Colorado, Boulder) ; Pichelstorfer, Lukas (Helsinki U.) ; Nieminen, Tuomo (Helsinki U.) et al.
In the present-day atmosphere, sulfuric acid is the
most important vapour for aerosol particle formation and initial growth. However, the growth rates of nanoparticles ( <
10 nm) from sulfuric acid remain poorly measured. [...]

Molecular understanding of new-particle formation from $\alpha$-pinene between −50 and +25 °C
/ Simon, Mario (Frankfurt U.) ; Dada, Lubna (Helsinki U.) ; Heinritzi, Martin (Frankfurt U.) ; Scholz, Wiebke (Innsbruck U.) ; Stolzenburg, Dominik (Vienna U.) ; Fischer, Lukas (Innsbruck U.) ; Wagner, Andrea C (Frankfurt U. ; U. Colorado, Boulder) ; Kürten, Andreas (Frankfurt U.) ; Rörup, Birte (Helsinki U.) ; He, Xu-Cheng (Helsinki U.) et al.
Highly oxygenated organic molecules (HOMs)
contribute substantially to the formation and growth of atmospheric aerosol particles, which affect air quality, human
health and Earth’s climate. HOMs are formed by rapid, gasphase autoxidation of volatile organic compounds (VOCs)
such as α-pinene, the most abundant monoterpene in the atmosphere. [...]
