In this way the CCN measures activated ambient aerosol
particle number concentration as a function of supersaturation.
The particle number concentration also did not show an increase for RME; it even decreased substantially for ROR.

The proportion of diesel vehicles registered in Leipzig however rose from 19 to 26 % between 2010 and 2016 — with negative consequences: While black carbon and the
number concentration of ultrafine
particles decreased, the
concentration of gaseous nitrogen oxides (NOx) is stagnant and is still too high.
Pohlker, Andreae, and their colleagues ran the
numbers and found that the amount of potassium
particles released from microscopic fungi in the lab was indeed enough to account for the
concentration of potassium they observed in their samples.
Seaton and his colleagues say that the
number of
particles may be more important than the
concentration of pollution.
In one sentence: Researchers at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory found that when miniscule
particles of airborne dust, thought to be a perfect landing site for water vapor, are modified by pollution, they change cloud properties via ice crystal
number concentration and ice water content.
As detailed by Dr. Sniderman, «Two people can have the same overall LDL
concentration, but very different levels of risk depending on whether they have a lot of small, dense LDL
particles or a small
number of large and fluffy
particles.»
Bubble rafts increase the optical reflectivity of the ocean and when bubbles burst, they launch seasalt
particles that loft and increase the
number concentration of cloud droplets in the marine boundary layer, thus increasing the reflectivity of stratocumulus.
Annual and interannual variation in boreal forest aerosol
particle number and volume
concentration and their connection to
particle formation Tellus 60B, 495 — 508.
Particle number to volume
concentration ratios at two measurement sites in Finland.
Diurnal and annual characteristics of
particle mass and
number concentrations in urban, rural and Arctic environments in Finland.
Explaining global surface aerosol
number concentrations in terms of primary emissions and
particle formation.
According to theory (and computer models), seeding marine stratocumulus clouds with copious amounts of tiny sea water
particles could significantly enhance cloud droplet
number concentration, and thereby cloud reflectivity and longevity.
Because H2SO4 and MSA are known precursors to new
particles, the
number concentration of
particles should also decrease significantly, as long as scavenging by existing
particles is not important.
It is found that with a
number concentration of aerosol
particles of ∼ 102 — 103 cm − 3 (which corresponds to the aerosol density in the deposited layer of about 1 — 10 mg / m2 with the layer thickness along the ray path of about 100 m) the solar radiation attenuation with artificial aerosol layers accounts for 1 to 10 %.
It's really difficult, because while the isothermal case is simple, one has to solve an ODE to get the
concentration with a lapse, then renormalize the result to have the right
number of
particles per unit area, and do this with a constrained surface temperature of (say) 300K.
Total
number concentration was dominated by frequent new
particle formation and
particle growth events.
The size and
concentration of aerosol
particles is also of great importance for the
number of cloud drops, which in turn influences the reflection characteristics of clouds.
The retrieved PSDs generally had lower
concentrations of small ice
particles, with total
number concentration independent of temperature.
The research was conducted in the UK; The scientists started by measuring how much air pollution go into a certain
number of houses in Lancaster using dust monitoring devices and by swiping surfaces and then analyzing what was collected with magnetic remanence, a technique that provides information on
concentrations of iron - bearing
particles.
Since the second figure appears hard to read: The vertical axis shows
particle diameter (from 8 to 600 nm), the horizontal axis shows time (two days in total), color denotes
number concentration, where blue is low, via green and yellow to red (= high).
The color gives the (normalized)
number concentration, where the red color indicates the enhanced
concentration of nucleated
particles, growing into the CCN size range.
