Description
This conference proceeding paper is by Chatziparaschos, M., Daskalakis, N., Kalivitis, N., Myriokefalitakis, S., and Kanakidou, M. on Global simulations of Ice Nuclei and Cloud Condensation Nuclei Particles derived from insoluble mineral Dust,In Proceedings of the 15th International Conference on Meteorology, Climatology and Atmospheric Physics – COMECAP 2021, Ioannina, Greece, 26–29 September 2021; Bartzokas, A., Nastos, P., Eds.; Hellenic Meteorological Society: Ioannina, Greece, ISBN: 978-960- 233-267-2, p. 40-45, 2021.
It shows results from the well documented global 3-dimensional chemistry - transport model TM4-ECPL that has been used to derive dust distributions for the year 2010 and then INP and CCN distributions by applying experimentally derived relevant parameterizations. The atmospheric INP concentrations at ambient temperature are found to be 3 to 4 orders of magnitude (0.001-0.1 cm-3) lower than the calculated CCN concentrations (100-1000 cm-3) close to their emission sources. CCN from insoluble mineral dust could affect cloud droplets formation at middle and low altitudes, while INP is important only at high altitudes.
