Some insights into the condensing vapors driving new particle growth to CCN sizes on the basis of hygroscopicity measurements

New particle formation (NPF) and growth is an important source of cloud condensation nuclei (CCN). In this study, we investigated the chemical species driving new particle growth to the CCN sizes on the basis of particle hygroscopicity measurements carried out at the research station Melpitz, German...
