Roll vortices induce new particle formation bursts in the planetary boundary layer
/ Lampilahti, Janne (Helsinki U.) ; Manninen, Hanna Elina (CERN) ; Leino, Katri (Helsinki U.) ; Väänänen, Riikka (Helsinki U.) ; Manninen, Antti (Finnish Meteorological Inst.) ; Mazon, Stephany Buenrostro (Helsinki U.) ; Nieminen, Tuomo (Helsinki U.) ; Leskinen, Matti (Helsinki U.) ; Enroth, Joonas (Helsinki U.) ; Bister, Marja (Helsinki U.) et al.
Recent studies have shown the importance of new
particle formation (NPF) to global cloud condensation nuclei (CCN) production, as well as to air pollution in megacities. In addition to the necessary presence of low-volatility
vapors that can form new aerosol particles, both numerical
and observational studies have shown that the dynamics of
the planetary boundary layer (BL) plays an important role
in NPF. [...]

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). [...]

Enhanced growth rate of atmospheric particles from sulfuric acid
/ Stolzenburg, Dominik (Vienna U. ; Helsinki U.) ; Simon, Mario (Frankfurt U.) ; Ranjithkumar, Ananth (Leeds U.) ; Kürten, Andreas (Frankfurt U.) ; Lehtipalo, Katrianne (Helsinki U. ; Finnish Meteorological Inst.) ; Gordon, Hamish (Leeds U.) ; Ehrhart, Sebastian (Mainz, Max Planck Inst.) ; Finkenzeller, Henning (U. 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 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

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. [...]

A new high-transmission inlet for the Caltech nano-RDMA for size distribution measurements of sub-3 nm ions at ambient concentrations
/ Franchin, Alessandro (Helsinki U.) ; Downard, Andy (Caltech, Pasadena (main)) ; Kangasluoma, Juha (Helsinki U.) ; Nieminen, Tuomo (Helsinki U. ; Helsinki Inst. of Phys. ; UEF, Kuopio) ; Lehtipalo, Katrianne (Helsinki U. ; Airmodus Ltd, Helsinki) ; Steiner, Gerhard (U.

Reliable and reproducible measurements of atmospheric aerosol particle number size distributions below 10 nm require optimized classification instruments with high particle transmission efficiency. Almost all differential mobility analyzers (DMAs) have an unfavorable potential gradient at the outlet (e.g., long column, Vienna type) or at the inlet (nano-radial DMA), preventing them from achieving a good transmission efficiency for the smallest nanoparticles.

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.

Atmospheric oxidation is an important phenomenon which produces large quantities of low-volatility compounds such as sulfuric acid and oxidized organic compounds. Such species may be involved in the nucleation of particles and enhance their subsequent growth to reach the size of cloud condensation nuclei (CCN). [...]
