Short summary
Condensation of vapour molecules onto aerosol particles is a key process regarding aerosol health and climate effects. The condensation sink (CS) estimates the attachment rate of vapour molecules onto existing particles. Here, we explore the concept of size-resolved CS as many of the effects related to condensation are dependent on the size of the existing particles. Our results show clear location-dependent differences in the CS size distributions which may have not been considered before.
