Atmospheric new particle formation as a source of CCN in the eastern Mediterranean marine boundary layer

Atmospheric new particle formation as a source of CCN in the eastern Mediterranean marine boundary layer

While cloud condensation nuclei (CCN) production associated with atmospheric new particle formation (NPF) is thought to be frequent throughout the continental boundary layers, few studies on this phenomenon in marine air exist. Here, based on simultaneous measurement of particle number size distribu...
