High frequency of urban new particle formation on the Tibetan Plateau: quantifying formation rates, growth rates, and CCN production

Abstract. New particle formation (NPF) strongly influences aerosol number size distributions and cloud condensation nuclei (CCN), yet its characteristics and climatic relevance in high-altitude urban environments over the Tibetan Plateau (TP) remain poorly constrained. We conduct...
