Cloud Condensation Nuclei (CCN) play a fundamental role in determining the microphysical properties of low-level clouds, crucial for defining the energy budget over the Southern Ocean (SO), a region dominated by low-level clouds. Despite this importance, many aspects of the CCN budget over the SO re...
