The analysis of size-segregated cloud condensation nuclei counter (CCNC) data and its implications for cloud droplet activation
Ambient aerosol, CCN (cloud condensation nuclei) and hygroscopic properties were measured with a sizesegregated CCNC (cloud condensation nuclei counter) in a boreal environment of southern Finland at the SMEAR (Station for Measuring Ecosystem-Atmosphere Relations) II station. The instrumental setup operated at five levels of supersaturation S covering a range from 0.1–1 % and measured particles...
متن کاملAerosol hygroscopicity and CCN activation kinetics in a boreal forest environment during the 2007 EUCAARI campaign
Measurements of size-resolved cloud condensation nuclei (CCN) concentrations, subsaturated hygroscopic growth, size distribution, and chemical composition were collected from March through May, 2007, in the remote Boreal forests of Hyytiälä, Finland, as part of the European Integrated project on Aerosol Cloud Climate and Air Quality Interactions (EUCAARI) campaign. Hygroscopicity parameter, κ ,...
متن کاملSeasonal variation of CCN concentrations and aerosol activation properties in boreal forest
As a part of EUCAARI activities, the annual cycle of cloud condensation nuclei (CCN) concentrations and critical diameter for cloud droplet activation as a function of supersaturation were measured using a CCN counter and a HTDMA (hygroscopicity tandem differential mobility analyzer) at SMEAR II station, Hyytiälä, Finland. The critical diameters for CCN activation were estimated from (i) the me...
متن کاملEnvironmental conditions regulate the impact of plants on cloud formation
The terrestrial vegetation emits large amounts of volatile organic compounds (VOC) into the atmosphere, which on oxidation produce secondary organic aerosol (SOA). By acting as cloud condensation nuclei (CCN), SOA influences cloud formation and climate. In a warming climate, changes in environmental factors can cause stresses to plants, inducing changes of the emitted VOC. These can modify part...
متن کاملThe Impact of Aerosol Particle Mixing State on the Hygroscopicity of Sea Spray Aerosol.
Aerosol particles influence global climate by determining cloud droplet number concentrations, brightness, and lifetime. Primary aerosol particles, such as those produced from breaking waves in the ocean, display large particle-particle variability in chemical composition, morphology, and physical phase state, all of which affect the ability of individual particles to accommodate water and grow...
