Cloud Condensation Nuclei Analysis
Cloud condensation nuclei (CCN) analysis examines the number and properties of aerosol particles capable of nucleating cloud droplets at various supersaturation levels. This field involves measuring CCN concentrations, characterizing their chemical composition and size, and relating aerosol properties to cloud microphysical processes.
