Nukleace kyseliny sírové a vody - laboratorní a atmosférická pozorování

Krahulíková, Lenka

1 ABSTRACT: This study is dedicated to the study of nucleation of sulphuric acid and water, which presents the key process associated with secondary aerosol formation via gas to particle conversion. We investigated the nucleation rates, new aerosol particles formation and growth dynamics of newly nucleated particles. These processes were explored in both laboratory and field experiments. In the laboratory measurements, we explored the H2SO4 - H2O nucleation rates and growth rates of newly formed particles under well-defined conditions and we also investigated the effect of experimental conditions on particle growth dynamics. Furthermore, we proposed a model, which predicts the particle growth and accounts for condensation of H2SO4, H2O and NH3. The comparison of experimental growth rates with atmospheric ones was made and resulting implications of the chemical nature of compounds involved in the early growth of nucleated particles is also presented. To investigate the atmospheric H2SO4 - H2O nucleation and new particle formation, we analysed a two-year long dataset of particle number size distributions, obtained from a urban background station in Prague Suchdol. A special attention was given to a recently reported special feature of particle growth dynamics - a particle shrinkage following previous new...
