abstract = {We present a case study of Aitken and accumulation mode
aerosol observed downwind of the anvil of a deep tropical
thunderstorm. The measurements were made by condensation
nuclei counters flown on the Egrett high-altitude aircraft
from Darwin during the ACTIVE campaign, in monsoon
conditions producing widespread convection over land and
ocean. Maximum measured concentrations of aerosol with
diameter greater than 10 nm were 25 000 cm(-3) (STP). By
calculating back-trajectories from the observations, and
projecting onto infrared satellite images, the time since
the air exited cloud was estimated. In this way a time scale
of about 3 hours was derived for the Aitken aerosol
concentration to reach its peak. We examine the hypothesis
that the growth in aerosol concentrations can be explained
by production of sulphuric acid from SO2 followed by
particle nucleation and coagulation. Estimates of the
sulphuric acid production rate show that the observations
are only consistent with this hypothesis if the particles
coagulate to sizes > 10 nm much more quickly than is
suggested by current theory. Alternatively, other
condensible gases (possibly organic) drive the growth of
aerosol particles in the TTL.},
