Particle hygroscopicity during atmospheric new particle formation events: implications for the chemical species contributing to particle growth

This study examines the hygroscopicity of newly formed particles (diameters range 25–45 nm) during two atmospheric new particle formation (NPF) events in the German mid-level mountains during the Hill Cap Cloud Thuringia 2010 (HCCT-2010) field experiment. At the end of the NPF event involving clear...
