abstract = {Aerosol particle number concentration measurements are a
crucial part of aerosol research. Vertical profile
measurements and high-altitude/low-pressure performance of
the respective instruments become more important for remote
sensing validation and a vital tool for the observation of
climate variables. This study tests the new, commercially
available water condensation particle counter (MAGIC 210-LP)
for the deployment at aircraft cruising pressure levels that
the European research infrastructure IAGOS (In-service
Aircraft for a Global Observing System;
http://www.iagos.org, last access: 2 May 2023) is aiming for
by operating measurement instrumentation onboard passenger
aircraft. We conducted laboratory experiments for conditions
to simulate passenger aircraft flight altitude at operation
pressure. We demonstrate that this type of water
condensation particle counter shows excellent agreement with
a butanol-based instrument used in parallel. A Faraday cup
aerosol electrometer serves as the reference instrument.
Experiments are performed with test aerosol ammonium sulfate
and fresh combustion soot at pressure levels ranging from
700 to 200 hPa. For soluble particles like ammonium
sulfate, the $50 \%$ detection efficiency cut-off diameter
(D50) is around 5 nm and does not differ significantly for
all performed experiments. For non-soluble fresh soot
particles, the D50 cut-off diameter of approximately 10 nm
does not vary substantially as a function of pressure,
whereas the $90 \%$ detection efficiency cut-off diameter
D90 increases from 19 nm at 700 hPa to 37 nm at
200 hPa. The overall counting efficiency for particles
larger than 40 nm reaches $100 \%$ for working pressures
of 200 hPa and higher.},
