What’s New in Atmospheric New Particle Formation?

Session ID#: 74623

Session Description:
Although new particle formation accounts for a significant fraction of atmospheric particles, the chemical processes and species leading to the formation of stable nuclei (nucleation) and their subsequent growth remain poorly understood.  These uncertainties are hindering efforts to model formation and growth of secondary aerosols on regional and global scales and to assess their atmospheric impacts.  This session solicits contributions that describe research progress on atmospheric aerosol nucleation and growth, including laboratory studies, theoretical calculations and modeling at various scales, field measurements, studies that examine the spatial extent of aerosol nucleation and growth, and studies on the effects of cloud processing/conditions and meteorology on aerosol nucleation and growth.
