The importance of Aitken mode aerosol particles for cloud sustenance in the summertime high Arctic - a simulation study supported by observational data

The potential importance of Aitken mode particles (diameters similar to 25-80 nm) for stratiform mixed-phase clouds in the summertime high Arctic (> 80 degrees N) has been investigated using two large-eddy simulation models. We find that, in both models, Aitken mode particles significantly affect...
