Prediction of size-resolved number concentration of cloud condensation nuclei and long-term measurements of their activation characteristics
Abstract Atmospheric aerosol particles acting as cloud condensation nuclei (CCN) are key elements in the hydrological cycle and climate. To improve our understanding of the activation characteristics of CCN and to obtain accurate predictions of their concentrations, a long-term field campaign was ca...
