Establishing the impact of model surfactants on cloud condensation nuclei activity of sea spray aerosol mimics

<p>Surface-active compounds present in aerosols can increase their cloud condensation nuclei (CCN) activation efficiency by reducing the surface tension (<i>σ</i>) in the growing droplets. However, the importance of this effect is poorly constrained by measurements. Here we pres...
