Calibration and measurement uncertainties of a continuous-flow cloud condensation nuclei counter (DMT-CCNC): CCN activation of ammonium sulfate and sodium chloride aerosol particles in theory and experiment (2007, background): “Therefore, CCN measurements have been performed in laboratory and field experiments around the globe, and more are under way (e.g., Gras, 1995; Hudson and Xie, 1999; Delene and Deshler, 2001; Giebl et al., 2002; Hudson and Yum, 2002; Raymond and Pandis, 2003; Bilde and Svenningsson, 2004; Broekhuize”
Aerosol-cloud interaction inferred from MODIS satellite data and global aerosol models (2006, background): “We find that the cloud fraction increase with AOD is relatively independent of aerosol chemical composition, in accordance with the finding in Dusek et al. (2006) that aerosol size distribution is much more important for the cloud condensation nuclei concentration.”
Representation of microphysical processes in cloud‐resolving models: Spectral (bin) microphysics versus bulk parameterization (2015, methodology): “Such relations between the parameters were used in a bulk microphysics scheme by Thompson et al. [2004], who derived them from bin microphysics simulations.”
Aerosol Mixing State: Measurements, Modeling, and Impacts (2019, background): “This is consistent with the findings by Dusek et al. (2006) and Ervens et al. (2010) in that assuming a fully internal mixture is adequate for simulating CCN concentration of populations away from source regions.”
Cloud condensation nuclei production associated with atmospheric nucleation: a synthesis based on existing literature and new results (2012, background): “Several experimental studies have reported “effective” threshold diameters, dc,eff, for atmospheric particle populations measured under various tropospheric conditions (Dusek et al., 2006; Hudson et al., 2007; Furutani et al., 2008; Kuwata et al., 2008; Quinn et al., 2008; Gunthe et al., 2009; Kamme”
Intercomparison and evaluation of global aerosol microphysical properties among AeroCom models of a range of complexity (2014, background): “However, studies suggest (e.g. Dusek et al., 2006) that the particle number size distribution is the most important quantity in determining atmospheric CCN concentrations (Kerminen et al., 2012).”
