In particular, the latter influences their ability to act as cloudcondensation nuclei, whereby they impact cloud coverage and precipitation.
2
Nucleation and growth of aerosol particles from atmospheric vapors constitutes a major source of global cloudcondensation nuclei (CCN).
3
The hygroscopicity of atmospheric particulate matter can determine its optical behaviors, cloudcondensation nuclei activity, and heterogeneous chemical reaction on the surface.
4
In the central Arctic Ocean the formation of clouds and their properties are sensitive to the availability of cloudcondensation nuclei (CCN).
