Five overcast marine stratocumulus cases during the Southern Ocean Clouds Radiation Aerosol Transport Experimental Study (SOCRATES) aircraft field campaign were selected to examine aerosol and cloud condensation nuclei (CCN) properties with cloud influence. The Aitken- and accumulation-mode aerosols...
