Major contribution of neutral clusters to new particle formation at the interface between the boundary layer and the free troposphere
The formation of new aerosol particles in the atmosphere is a key process influencing the aerosol number concentration as well as the climate, in particular at high altitude, where the newly formed particles directly influence cloud formation. However, free tropospheric new particle formation (NPF)...
