Variations in Tropospheric Submicron Particle Size Distributions Across the European Continent 2008–2009
Cluster analysis of particle number size distributions from background sites across Europe is presented. This generated a total of nine clusters which could be further combined into two main groups, namely: a South to North category (four clusters) and 5 a West to East category (five clusters). The...
