Open questions on atmospheric nanoparticle growth
Taina Yli‐Juuti, Claudia Mohr, Ilona Riipinen
Abstract
Cloud droplets form in the atmosphere on aerosol particles, many of which result from nucleation of vapors. Here the authors comment on current knowledge and open questions regarding the condensational growth of nucleated particles to sizes where they influence cloud formation.
