Nucleation modeling of the Antarctic stratospheric CN layer and derivation of sulfuric acid profiles

Recent analysis of long-term balloon-borne measurements of Antarctic stratospheric condensation nuclei (CN) between July and October showed the formation of a volatile CN layer at 21–27 km altitude in a background of existing particles. We use the nucleation model SAWNUC to simulate these CN in...
