eng Abstract:
Aerosol particles influence global radiative balance and climate directly through scattering and absorbing solar radiation and indirectly by acting as condensation cloud nuclei. The atmospheric nucleation is often followed by a rapid growth of freshly formed particles. The initial growth of aerosol is the crucial process determining the fraction of nucleated particles growing into cloud condensation nuclei sizes (~ 50 nm and larger). The subject of this study is modelling of growth behaviour of sulfuric acid nanoparticles produced by nucleation of water and sulfuric acid under wet and dry conditions.
