On the composition of ammonia–sulfuric-acid ion clusters during aerosol particle formation
/ Schobesberger, S (Helsinki U.) ; Franchin, A (Helsinki U.) ; Bianchi, F (PSI, Villigen) ; Rondo, L (Goethe U., Frankfurt (main)) ; Duplissy, J (Helsinki U. ; CERN) ; Kürten, A (Goethe U., Frankfurt (main)) ; Ortega, I K (Helsinki U. ; PhLAM, Villeneuve d'Ascq) ; Metzger, A (Ionicon Analytik GmbH, Innsbruck) ; Schnitzhofer, R (Innsbruck U.) ; Almeida, J (CERN) et al.
The formation of particles from precursor vapors is an important source of atmospheric aerosol. Research at the Cosmics Leaving OUtdoor Droplets (CLOUD) facility at CERN tries to elucidate which vapors are responsible for this new-particle formation, and how in detail it proceeds. [...]

Experimental investigation of ion–ion recombination under atmospheric conditions
/ Franchin, A (Helsinki U.) ; Ehrhart, S (CERN ; Goethe U., Frankfurt (main)) ; Leppä, J (Finnish Meteorological Inst. ; Caltech, Eng. Appl. Sci.) ; Nieminen, T (Helsinki U.) ; Gagné, S (Dalhousie U. ; York U., Canada) ; Schobesberger, S (Helsinki U.) ; Wimmer, D (Helsinki U.) ; Duplissy, J (Helsinki U.) ; Riccobono, F (PSI, Villigen) ; Dunne, E M (Finnish Meteorological Inst.) et al.
We present the results of laboratory measurements of the ion–ion recombination coefficient at different temperatures, relative humidities and concentrations of ozone and sulfur dioxide. The experiments were carried out using the Cosmics Leaving OUtdoor Droplets (CLOUD) chamber at CERN, the walls of which are made of conductive material, making it possible to measure small ions.

Thermodynamics of the formation of sulfuric acid dimers in the binary (H2SO4–H2O) and ternary (H2SO4–H2O–NH3) system
/ Kürten, A (Goethe U., Frankfurt (main)) ; Münch, S (Goethe U., Frankfurt (main)) ; Rondo, L (Goethe U., Frankfurt (main)) ; Bianchi, F (PSI, Villigen ; Zurich, ETH) ; Duplissy, J (CERN) ; Jokinen, T (Helsinki U.) ; Junninen, H (Helsinki U.) ; Sarnela, N (Helsinki U.) ; Schobesberger, S (Helsinki U.) ; Simon, M (Goethe U., Frankfurt (main)) et al.
Sulfuric acid is an important gas influencing atmospheric new particle formation (NPF). Both the binary $(H_2SO_4–H_2O)$ system and the ternary system involving ammonia $(H_2SO_4–H_2O–NH_3)$ may be important in the free troposphere. [...]

The growth of freshly formed aerosol particles can be the bottleneck in their survival to cloud condensation nuclei. It is therefore crucial to understand how particles grow in the atmosphere. [...]

Experimental particle formation rates spanning tropospheric sulfuric acid and ammonia abundances, ion production rates, and temperatures

Binary nucleation of sulfuric acid and water as well as ternary nucleation involving ammonia arethought to be the dominant processes responsible for new particle formation (NPF) in the cold temperaturesof the middle and upper troposphere. Ions are also thought to be important for particle nucleation inthese regions. [...]

Comparison of the SAWNUC model with CLOUD measurements of sulphuric acid-water nucleation
/ Ehrhart, Sebastian (CERN) ; Ickes, Luisa ; Almeida, Joao (CERN) ; Amorim, Antonio ; Barmet, Peter ; Bianchi, Federico ; Dommen, Josef ; Dunne, Eimear M ; Duplissy, Jonathan ; Franchin, Alessandro et al.
Binary nucleation of sulphuric acid-water particles is expected to be an important process in the free troposphere at low temperatures. SAWNUC (Sulphuric Acid Water Nucleation) is a model of binary nucleation that is based on laboratory measurements of the binding energies of sulphuric acid and water in charged and neutral clusters.

Effect of ions on sulfuric acid-water binary particle formation: 2. Experimental data and comparison with QC-normalized classical nucleation theory

We report comprehensive, demonstrably contaminant‐free measurements of binary particle formation rates by sulfuric acid and water for neutral and ion‐induced pathways conducted in the European Organization for Nuclear Research Cosmics Leaving Outdoor Droplets chamber. The recently developed Atmospheric Pressure interface‐time of flight‐mass spectrometer was used to detect contaminants in charged clusters and to identify runs free of any contaminants. [...]

/CLOUD
Fundamental questions remain about the origin of newly formed atmospheric aerosol particles because data from laboratory measurements have been insufficient to build global models. In contrast, gas-phase chemistry models have been based on laboratory kinetics measurements for decades. [...]

Atmospheric aerosols and their effect on clouds are thought to be important for anthropogenic radiative forcing of the climate, yet remain poorly understood. Globally, around half of cloud condensation nuclei originate from nucleation of atmospheric vapours. [...]
