Chemical identification of new particle formation and growth precursors through positive matrix factorization of ambient ion measurements

<p>In the lower troposphere, rapid collisions between ions and trace gases result in the transfer of positive charge to the highest proton affinity species and negative charge to the lowest proton affinity species. Measurements of the chemical composition of ambient ions thus provide direct in...
