• The Global Atmospheric Electrical Circuit and Climate (2004, background): “Yu (2002) argues that the recombination rates of ions are proportional to their concentrations, therefore the ion lifetime is greater at lower altitudes, where the ionisation rate from cosmic rays is smaller.”
• Celestial driver of Phanerozoic climate (2003, methodology): “…1959; Svensmark, 1998), and because recent theoretical and experimental studies (Dickenson, 1975; Harrison and Aplin, 2001; Eichkorn et al., 2002; Yu, 2002; Tinsley and Yu, 2003) relate the CRF to the formation of charged aerosols, which could serve as cloud condensation nuclei (CCN), as…”
• The global atmospheric electric circuit and its effects on cloud microphysics (2008, methodology): “Ion-induced nucleation rates for H 2 SO 4 with H 2 O have been modeled by Yu (2002), and by Kazil and Lovejoy (2004), with the latter using experimentally determined rate coefficients (Lovejoy 2004) and obtaining different altitude profiles of production rates than Yu (2002).”
• Ion‐aerosol‐cloud processes in the lower atmosphere (2003, methodology): “In calculating particle formation from ions, Yu and Turco [2001] determined an enhancement in K of 10 for oppositely charged particles of radii 1 nm compared with neutral particles; see Figure 9a.”
• Ion‐mediated nucleation in the atmosphere: Key controlling parameters, implications, and look‐up table (2010, background): “It has been shown by 212 Yu and Turco [2008] that the IMN mechanism appears to be able to account for at least a large 213 fraction of these nucleation events and is supported by the observed overcharging of freshly 214 nucleated particles. 215 Under the conditions considered in Fig. 1, JIMN is very”
• SOLAR INFLUENCES ON CLIMATE (2010, unknown): “A related mechanism under active investigation is the formation of particles via the clustering of a condensable vapor (generally sulphuric acid) with water [Yu, 2002; Kazil and Lovejoy, 2004], including through a substantial international laboratory study [Duplissy et al., 2009].”
• Climate change and solar variability: what's new under the sun? (2006, background): “Other sources of variability in cloudiness, such as volcanic aerosols and ENSO, could have obscured the signal over interannual and decadal time scales [27].”
