Surfactants in PM1 aerosols from boreal Northern Finland: importance for cloud droplet formation ?
SSCI-VIDE+ATARI+VGE:BNO:LFI International audience Clouds are essential components of the Earth’s hydrological system and the main cooling factor of the climate budget. But some aspects of their formation are still not completely understood, in particular the role of surfactants (Boucher et al., 201...

But some aspects of their formation are still not completely understood, in particular the role of surfactants (Boucher et al., 2013). Although Köhler theory predicts that surfactants should enhance cloud droplet activation, current models consider their role to be negligible (Farmer et al., 2015), and the surface tension of growing droplets is systematically assumed to be that of pure water.Recent studies are starting to bring the evidence of the contrary, especially in laboratory experiments (Asa-Awuku et al., 2008; Ruehl et al., 2012; Giordano et al., 2013: Ruehl et al., 2014; 2016).

In a recent study, the concentration of surfactants in PM2.5 aerosols from a coastal region was found to be large enough to decrease the surface tension of the droplets until they reach activation (Gérard et al., 2016).It is thus now important to look for evidence of the role of surfactants on cloud droplet formation directly in the atmosphere (Nozière, 2016). For this, the surfactants present in PM1 aerosols at the GAW station Sammaltunturi, in Northern Finland (67°58'N 24°07'E, 565 m asl), a site directly impacted by the formation of orographic clouds (Lihavainen et al., 2008; Anttila et al., 2012), were extracted and analyzed from April to November 2015.
