Correlation between cloud condensation nuclei concentration and aerosol optical thickness in remote and polluted regions

A large number of published and unpublished measurements of cloud condensation nuclei (CCN) concentrations and aerosol optical thickness (AOT) measurements have been analyzed. AOT measurements were obtained mostly from the AERONET network, and selected to be collocated as closely as possible to the...
