CCN predictions using simplified assumptions of organic aerosol composition and mixing state: a synthesis from six different locations

An accurate but simple quantification of the fraction of aerosol particles that can act as cloud condensation nuclei (CCN) is needed for implementation in large-scale models. Data on aerosol size distribution, chemical composition, and CCN concentration from six different locations have been analyze...
