It is important to understand the relative contri- bution of primary and secondary particles to regional and global aerosol so that models can attribute aerosol radiative forcing to different sources. In large-scale models, there is considerable uncertainty associated with treatments of parti- cle formation (nucleation) in the boundary layer (BL) and in the size distribution of emitted primary particles, lead- ing to uncertainties in predicted cloud condensation nuclei
