Case studies of particle formation events observed in boreal forests: implications for nucleation mechanisms
Aerosol nucleation events observed worldwide may have significant climatic and health implications. However, the specific nucleation mechanisms remain ambiguous. Here, we report case studies of eight nucleation events observed during an intensive field campaign at a boreal forest site (Hyytiälä, Finland) in spring 2005. The present analysis is based on comprehensive kinetic simulations using an...

The authors thank the referee for the constructive and helpful comments. Our detailed replies to the referee 2’s comments (in Italic) are given below. Anonymous Referee 2 This manuscript discusses an important topic, the contribution of ion-induced nucleation on atmospheric new particle formation. It is well-written, and in its current form, discreet, compared to the original manuscript. It is ...
متن کاملIsoprene Suppression of New Particle Formation in a Mixed Deciduous Forest
Production of new particles over forests is an important source of cloud condensation nuclei that can affect climate. While such particle formation events have been widely observed, their formation mechanisms over forests are poorly understood. Our observations made in a mixed deciduous forest with large isoprene emissions during the summer displayed a surprisingly rare occurrence of new partic...
متن کاملTemperature influence on the natural aerosol budget over boreal forests
We investigated the natural aerosol evolution of biogenic monoterpene emissions over the northern boreal forest area as a function of temperature using long-term field measurements of aerosol size distributions and back trajectories at two SMEAR (Station for Measuring Ecosystem– Atmosphere Relations) stations, SMEAR I and SMEAR II, in Finland. Similar to earlier studies, we found that new parti...
متن کاملAnalyzing the effects of climate change on dust events, a case study: Khorasan Razavi province
Introduction: Climatic components are the vital factors influencing the dust event. It was believed that changes in climate parameters play a crucial role in the occurrence of dust events. Former studies have shown that temperature, rainfall, and wind speed contribute to poor vegetation, providing requirements of dust events. Long-term dust data indicated that climate has a profound effect on d...
