Observation of new particle formation on Curonian Spit located between continental Europe and Scandinavia

The highest number of NPF days was observed when the air masses advected from northern directions (Scandinavia, the North Sea, and the Arctic) and contrary the NPF events were observed very rarely during advection of polluted continental air masses. Thus, the parameters estimated for the NPF events...

Description
Summary:The highest number of NPF days was observed when the air masses advected from northern directions (Scandinavia, the North Sea, and the Arctic) and contrary the NPF events were observed very rarely during advection of polluted continental air masses. Thus, the parameters estimated for the NPF events observed at the Preila station are partially similar to the Northern Europe stations. However, the PNC level, low seasonal PNC cycle and heterogeneous air masses showed similarity with Central Europe aerosol.
