On the contribution of Aitken mode particles to cloud droplet populations at continental background areas ─ a parametric sensitivity study

Aitken mode particles are potentially an important source of cloud droplets in continental background areas. In order to find out which physico-chemical properties of Aitken mode particles are most important regarding their cloud-nucleating ability, we calculated the number of cloud droplets formed...
