Cosmic rays, aerosol formation and cloud-condensation nuclei: sensitivities to model uncertainties

The flux of cosmic rays to the atmosphere has been reported to correlate with cloud and aerosol properties. One proposed mechanism for these correlations is the "ion-aerosol clear-air" mechanism where the cosmic rays modulate atmospheric ion concentrations, ion-induced nucleation of aeroso...
