Formation and growth rates of nanoparticles. // Optika Atmosfery i Okeana. 2015. V. 28. No. 08. P. 730–737. DOI: 10.15372/AOO20150809 [in Russian].

Abstract:

In this paper a number size distribution of atmospheric nanoparticles has been analyzed with a view to estimate particle formation and growth rates during the nucleation bursts observed in the atmospheric surface layer over West Siberia. Estimates showed that during the period from March 2010 to August 2014, inclusively, new particle formation and growth rates ranged from 0.1 to 3.55 cm–3 × s–1 and from 0.26 to 53.04 nm × h–1, respectively. Results of continuous long-term observations recently carried out at two atmospheric monitoring stations located in Siberia point out a similarity of them with the frequency and main characteristics of nucleation bursts recorded in other regions of the boreal belt. Statistical data on nucleation bursts obtained in our region can be used when modeling the climate change and developing methods of their identification on a global scale with the use of satellite data.

Keywords:

nucleation bursts, new particle formation, formation rate, growth rate, nanoparticles
