• Aerosol size distribution measurements at four Nordic field stations: identification, analysis and trajectory analysis of new particle formation bursts (2007, background): “…increasing activity in this field of study, both in trying to understand the physical and chemical pathways causing the formation of new particles (Kulmala et al., 2000, 2004b; McMurry et al., 2005), and assessing the climatic importance of the particles formed (see for example Kurten et al.,…”
• A criterion for new particle formation in the sulfur-rich Atlanta atmosphere (2005, background): “, 1997]; a leading candidate for this species is ammonia [Kulmala et al., 2000; Napari et al., 2002b; Birmili et al., 2003].”
• Aerosol cloud precipitation interactions. Part 1. The nature and sources of cloud-active aerosols (2008, background): “…preexisting particles, e.g., freshly nucleated sulfate particles in the ultrafine size class, which may be as small as 2–9 nm (Kerminen et al., 2000; Kulmala et al., 2000; Kerminen, 2001; Gao et al., 2001; O'Dowd et al., 2002; Lihavainen et al., 2003; Maria et al., 2004; Zhang et al., 2004a,b;…”
• A wide-range multi-channel Air Ion Spectrometer (2007, background): “Many different theories have been proposed to explain the new-particle formation (Kulmala et al. 2000, Yu and Turco 2001, Laakso et al. 2002, Kulmala et al. 2006), and although this process has been studied for several decades, it is still not completely understood.”
• Organic aerosol formation via sulphate cluster activation (2004, background): “[3] New particle formation is a two-stage process [Kulmala et al., 2000]: the first stage comprises homoge-”
• Condensation and coagulation sinks and formation of nucleation mode particles in coastal and boreal forest boundary layers (2002, background): “The formation and growth of atmospheric aerosols are key processes describing and determining their dynamics [see, e.g., Kulmala et al., 2000].”
• Initial steps of aerosol growth (2004, positive): “The equilibrium state is thus not necessarily the aerosol itself but can be, for example, thermodynamically stable clusters (TSC), as was recently proposed by Kulmala et al. (2000a).”
• Experimental evidence for the role of ions in particle nucleation under atmospheric conditions (2007, background): “1998) and ternary nucleation (Kulmala et al. 2000).”
• Characteristics of the atmospheric particle formation events observed at a borel forest site in southern Finland (2000, background): “According to the recent discussion by Kulmala et al. (2000), the formation process of the TSCs could be a slow continuous ternary nucleation between water, ammonia and sulphuric acid vapours, taking place very frequently in the atmosphere.”
