DOI: 10.1175/bams-d-18-0075.1
Abstract: Ultrafine particles (UFPs) are distributed highly unevenly in the lower troposphere. Although these UFPs are positively detectable and have been studied for more than a century, their three-dimensional distribution, formation, and budget in the atmosphere… read more here.
