In situ observations of new particle formation in the tropical upper troposphere: the role of clouds and the nucleation mechanism

In situ observations of new particle formation in the tropical upper troposphere: the role of clouds and the nucleation mechanism

New particle formation (NPF), which generates nucleation mode aerosol, was observed in the tropical Upper Troposphere (UT) and Tropical Tropopause Layer (TTL) by in situ airborne measurements over South America (January–March 2005), Australia (November–December 2005), West Africa (August 2006) and C...
