abstract = {Atmospheric aerosol particles influence global climate as
well as impair air quality through their effects on
atmospheric visibility and human health. Ultrafine (< 100
nm) particles often dominate aerosol numbers, and nucleation
of atmospheric vapors is an important source of these
particles. To have climatic relevance, however, the freshly
nucleated particles need to grow in size. We combine
observations from two continental sites (Egbert, Canada and
Hyytiala, Finland) to show that condensation of organic
vapors is a crucial factor governing the lifetimes and
climatic importance of the smallest atmospheric particles.
We model the observed ultrafine aerosol growth with a
simplified scheme approximating the condensing species as a
mixture of effectively non-volatile and semi-volatile
species, demonstrate that state-of-the-art organic
gas-particle partitioning models fail to reproduce the
observations, and propose a modeling approach that is
consistent with the measurements. We find that roughly half
of the mass of the condensing mass needs to be distributed
proportional to the aerosol surface area (thus implying that
the condensation is governed by gas-phase concentration
rather than the equilibrium vapour pressure) to explain the
observed aerosol growth. We demonstrate the large
sensitivity of predicted number concentrations of cloud
condensation nuclei (CCN) to these interactions between
organic vapors and the smallest atmospheric nanoparticles
highlighting the need for representing this process in
global climate models.},
