Measurement report: New particle formation characteristics at an urban and a mountain station in northern China

Ying Zhou et al.

Data sets

Calculated parameters related to new particle formation events at an urban and a mountain station in Northern China Lubna Dada and Ying Zhou https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.5644694

Short summary

We characterized the connection between new particle formation (NPF) events in terms of frequency, intensity and growth at a near-highway location in central Beijing and at a background mountain site 80 km away. Due to the substantial contribution of NPF to the global aerosol budget, identifying the conditions that promote the occurrence of regional NPF events could help understand their contribution on a large scale and would improve their implementation in global models.
