abstract = {From 27 July to 10 August 2017, the airborne StratoClim
mission took place in Kathmandu, Nepal, where eight mission
flights were conducted with the M-55 Geophysica up to
altitudes of 20 km. New particle formation (NPF) was
identified by the abundant presence of nucleation-mode
aerosols, with particle diameters dp smaller than 15 nm,
which were in-situ-detected by means of condensation nuclei
(CN) counter techniques. NPF fields in clear skies as well
as in the presence of cloud ice particles (dp > 3 µm)
were encountered at upper troposphere–lowermost
stratosphere (UTLS) levels and within the Asian monsoon
anticyclone (AMA). NPF-generated nucleation-mode particles
in elevated concentrations (Nnm) were frequently found
together with cloud ice (in number concentrations Nice of up
to 3 cm−3) at heights between ∼ 11 and 16 km. From
a total measurement time of ∼ 22.5 h above 10 km
altitude, in-cloud NPF was in sum detected over
∼ 1.3 h $(∼ 50 \%$ of all NPF records throughout
StratoClim). Maximum Nnm of up to ∼ 11 000 cm−3
was detected coincidently with intermediate ice particle
concentrations Nice of 0.05–0.1 cm−3 at comparatively
moderate carbon monoxide (CO) contents of
∼ 90–100 nmol mol−1. Neither under clear-sky nor
during in-cloud NPF do the highest Nnm concentrations
correlate with the highest CO mixing ratios, suggesting that
an elevated pollutant load is not a prerequisite for NPF.
Under clear-air conditions, NPF with elevated Nnm
(> 8000 cm−3) occurred slightly less often than within
clouds. In the presence of cloud ice, NPF with Nnm between
1500–4000 cm−3 was observed about twice as often as
under clear-air conditions. NPF was not found when ice water
contents exceeded 1000 µmol mol−1 in very cold air
(< 195 K) at tropopause levels. This indicates a
reduction in NPF once deep convection is prevalent together
with the presence of mainly liquid-origin ice particles.
Within in situ cirrus near the cold point tropopause, recent
NPF or intense events with mixing ration nnm larger than
5000 mg−1 were observed only in about $6 \%$ of the
in-cloud NPF data. In determining whether the cloud-internal
NPF is attenuated or prevented by the microphysical
properties of cloud elements, the integral radius (IR) of
the ice cloud population turned out to be indicative.
Neither the number of ice particles nor the free distance
between the ice particles is clearly related to the NPF rate
detected. While the increase in ice particles' mass per time
(dmdt) is proportional to the IR and mainly due to the
condensation of water vapour, additional condensation of NPF
precursors proceeds at the expense of the NPF rate as the
precursor's saturation ratio declines. Numerical simulations
show the impact of the IR on the supersaturation of a
condensable vapour, such as sulfuric acid, and furthermore
illustrate that the IR of the cloud ice determines the
effective limitation of NPF rates.},
