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.

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.

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. [...]

Role of iodine oxoacids in atmospheric aerosol nucleation
/ He, Xu-Cheng (Helsinki U.) ; Tham, Yee Jun (Helsinki U.) ; Dada, Lubna (Helsinki U.) ; Wang, Mingyi (Carnegie Mellon U.) ; Finkenzeller, Henning (U. Colorado, Boulder) ; Stolzenburg, Dominik (Vienna U. ; Helsinki U.) ; Iyer, Siddharth (Tampere U. of Tech.) ; Simon, Mario (Frankfurt U., FIAS) ; Kürten, Andreas (Frankfurt U., FIAS) ; Shen, Jiali (Helsinki U.) et al.
Iodic acid (HIO3) is known to form aerosol particles in coastal marine regions, but predicted nucleation and growth rates are lacking. Using the CERN CLOUD (Cosmics Leaving Outdoor Droplets) chamber, we find that the nucleation rates of HIO3 particles are rapid, even exceeding sulfuric acid–ammonia rates under similar conditions.

Data Acquisition System of the CLOUD Experiment at CERN
/ Weber, Stefan K (CERN) ; Miotto, Giovanna Lehmann (CERN) ; Almeida, João (CERN) ; Blanc, Pascal Herve (CERN) ; Dias, António (Lisbon, CENTRA ; Lisbon U.) ; Malaguti, Giulio (CERN) ; Manninen, Hanna E (CERN) ; Pfeifer, Joschka (CERN) ; Ravat, Sylvain (CERN) ; Onnela, Antti (CERN) et al.
The Cosmics Leaving OUtdoor Droplets (CLOUD) experiment at the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN) is investigating the nucleation and growth of aerosol particles under atmospheric conditions and their activation into cloud droplets. The experiment comprises an ultraclean 26 m3chamber and its associated systems (the CLOUD facility) together with a suite of around 50 advanced instruments attached to the chamber via sampling probes to analyze its contents.

DAQBroker - A general purpose instrument monitoring framework
/ Dias, António (CERN ; U. Lisbon (main)) ; Amorim, António (U. Lisbon (main)) ; Tomé, António (UBI, Covilha) ; Almeida, João (CERN)
The current scientific environment has experimentalists and system administrators allocating large amounts of time for data access, parsing and gathering as well as instrument management. This is a growing challenge since there is an increasing number of large collaborations with significant amount of instrument resources, remote instrumentation sites and continuously improved and upgraded scientific instruments.

The CLOUD (Cosmics Leaving OUtdoor Droplets) experiment at CERN (European Council for Nuclear Research) investigates the nucleation and growth of aerosol particles under atmospheric conditions and their activation into cloud droplets. A key feature of the CLOUD experiment is precise control of the experimental parameters. [...]

Insight into Acid–Base Nucleation Experiments by Comparison of the Chemical Composition of Positive, Negative, and Neutral Clusters
/ Bianchi, Federico (PSI, Villigen) ; Praplan, Arnaud P (Helsinki U.) ; Sarnela, Nina (Helsinki U.) ; Dommen, Josef (PSI, Villigen) ; Kürten, Andreas (Goethe U., Frankfurt (main)) ; Ortega, Ismael K (Lille U.) ; Schobesberger, Siegfried (Helsinki U.) ; Junninen, Heikki (Helsinki U.) ; Simon, Mario (Goethe U., Frankfurt (main)) ; Tröstl, Jasmin (PSI, Villigen) et al.
We investigated the nucleation of sulfuric acid together with two bases (ammonia and dimethylamine), at the CLOUD chamber at CERN. The chemical composition of positive, negative, and neutral clusters was studied using three Atmospheric Pressure interface-Time Of Flight (APi-TOF) mass spectrometers: two were operated in positive and negative mode to detect the chamber ions, while the third was equipped with a nitrate ion chemical ionization source allowing detection of neutral clusters.

The effect of acid–base clustering and ions on the growth of atmospheric nano-particles

The growth of freshly formed aerosol particles can be the bottleneck in their survival to cloud condensation nuclei. It is therefore crucial to understand how particles grow in the atmosphere. [...]
