Ultrafine aerosol formation via ion‐mediated nucleation
Open accessAbstract
The role of background ionization in the generation and evolution of ultrafine atmospheric particles is developed through modeling and data analysis. It is found that charged molecular clusters condensing around natural air ions can grow significantly faster than corresponding neutral clusters, and thus preferentially achieve stable, observable sizes. Detailed microphysical simulations of this process seem to explain recent measurements of ultrafine particle behavior, as well as the diurnal variation seen in tropospheric mobility spectra. The proposed ion‐mediated nucleation mechanism leads to the production of new particles under conditions that are unfavorable for binary homogeneous nucleation, and provides a consistent explanation for a variety of tropospheric observations.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
