• EUCAARI ion spectrometer measurements at 12 European sites – analysis of new particle formation events (2010, background): “The newly formed particles have been observed to grow into cloud condensation nuclei (CCN) sizes (e.g. Laaksonen et al., 2005; Wiedensohler et al., 2009) and ultimately to participate in cloud droplet activation (Kerminen et al., 2005).”
• Size and time-resolved growth rate measurements of 1 to 5 nm freshly formed atmospheric nuclei (2012, background): “Atmospheric measurement and modeling studies have shown that new particle formation (NPF), through photochemical reactions of gasphase precursors, greatly increases the number concentration of atmospheric aerosols, and is often followed by rapid growth of the nucleated aerosol to a CCN-active size, ”

• Contribution of particle formation to global cloud condensation nuclei concentrations (2008, background): “Nevertheless, formation events have been shown to make an important contribution to local CCN concentrations through examination of observed aerosol size distributions before and after a nucleation event [Lihavainen et al., 2003; Kerminen et al., 2005; Laaksonen et al., 2005].”
