Short summary
We investigate the occurrence of newly formed, nanometer-sized aerosol particles in the Arctic atmosphere by analyzing size-resolved particle measurements conducted aboard a research aircraft in April 2024. Vertically-resolved studies on such small particles have remained scarce. We frequently detected newly formed particles at altitudes of up to 4 km. These particles were associated with air mass transport from southern latitudes, the occurrence of clouds, as well as the presence of sea ice.
