abstract = {In order to gain a more comprehensive picture on different
mechanisms behind atmospheric particle formation,
measurement results from QUEST 2-campaign are analyzed with
an aid of an aerosol dynamic model. A special emphasis is
laid on air ion and charged aerosol dynamics. Model
simulations indicate that kinetic nucleation of ammonia and
sulphuric acid together with condensation of sulphuric acid
and low-volatile organic vapours onto clusters and particles
explain basic features of particle formation events as well
as ion characteristics. However, an observed excess of
negative ions in the diameter range 1.5-3 nm and overcharge
of 3-5 nm particles demonstrate that ions are also involved
in particle formation. These observations can be explained
by preferential condensation of sulphuric acid onto
negatively charged clusters and particles and/or
contribution of ion-induced nucleation on particle
formation. According to model simulations, which assume that
the nucleation rate is equal to the sulfuric acid collision
rate, the relative contribution of ion-based particle
formation seems to be smaller than kinetic nucleation of
neutral clusters. Conducted model simulations also
corroborate the recently-presented hypothesis according to
which a large number of so-called thermodynamically stable
clusters (TSCs) having a diameter between 1-3 nm exist in
the atmosphere. TSCs were found to grow to observable sizes
only under favorable conditions, e. g. when the pre-existing
particle concentration was low.},
