Impact of fatty acid coating on the CCN activity of sea salt particles

Impact of fatty acid coating on the CCN activity of sea salt particles

This study investigates the impact of fatty acids on the cloud condensation nuclei (CCN) activity of sea salt aerosol of initial size 30, 50, 70 or 90 nm. Two of the major fatty acids in the marine environment, palmitic acid (C16) and stearic acid (C18), were investigated along with their unsaturate...
