The potential role of organics in new particle formation and initial growth in the remote tropical upper troposphere

<p>Global observations and model studies indicate that new particle formation (NPF) in the upper troposphere (UT) and subsequent particles supply 40&thinsp;%–60&thinsp;% of cloud condensation nuclei (CCN) in the lower troposphere, thus affecting the Earth's radiative budget. There...
