The equivalent size of cloud condensation nuclei [PDF]
New Journal of Physics, 2008 The role of turbulence in the growth process of cloud droplets in the condensation phase is investigated by means of direct numerical simulations in two dimensions. Both curvature effect and solute effect are incorporated in the model for the evolution of cloud droplet radii.

New particle formation in the remote marine boundary layer
Nature Communications, 2021 Globally, new particle formation represents a major source of cloud condensation nuclei. Here, the authors present evidence of frequent occurrence of new particle formation in the upper part of remote marine boundary layer following cold front passages.

Coral reef exposure increases aerosol and cloud condensation nuclei over the Great Barrier Reef [PDF]
Aerosol ResearchThe Great Barrier Reef (GBR) is the largest reef ecosystem in the world and is home to diverse marine life. In situ measurements characterizing lower troposphere aerosol concentrations and dynamics over the GBR are lacking in the literature.

Subpollen Particles as Atmospheric Cloud Condensation Nuclei
Izvestiya, Atmospheric and Oceanic Physics, 2019 Bioparticles represent a significant fraction of the total atmospheric aerosol. Their size range varies from nanometers (macromolecules) to hundreds of micrometers (plant pollen, vegetation residues) and like other atmospheric aerosol particles, the degree of involvement of bioaerosols in atmospheric processes largely de- pends on their hygroscopic and

Environmental Effects of Volcanic Volatile Fluxes From Subaerial Large Igneous Provinces
Geophysical Monograph Series, Page 103-116., 2021 Exploring the links between Large Igneous Provinces and dramatic environmental impact
An emerging consensus suggests that Large Igneous Provinces (LIPs) and Silicic LIPs (SLIPs) are a significant driver of dramatic global environmental and biological changes, including mass extinctions.

Organic condensation: a vital link connecting aerosol formation to cloud condensation nuclei (CCN) concentrations [PDF]
Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics, 2011 Atmospheric aerosol particles influence global climate as well as impair air quality through their effects on atmospheric visibility and human health. Ultrafine (<100 nm) particles often dominate aerosol numbers, and nucleation of atmospheric vapors ...

“Missing” cloud condensation nuclei in peat smoke
Geophysical Research Letters, 2005 We characterized particulate emissions from vegetation fires by burning Indonesian and German peat and other biomass fuels in a controlled laboratory setting. By measuring cloud condensation nuclei (CCN) both as a function of particle diameter (dp) and supersaturation (S), we discovered particles in peat smoke that were not activated to cloud droplets ...

Pollen as atmospheric cloud condensation nuclei [PDF]
Geophysical Research Letters, 2015 AbstractAnemophilous (wind‐dispersed) pollen grains are emitted in large quantities by vegetation in the midlatitudes for reproduction. Pollen grains are coarse particles (5–150 µm) that can rupture when wet to form submicron subpollen particles (SPP) that may have a climatic role.
