- W4200214483 abstract "<strong class=journal-contentHeaderColor>Abstract.</strong> New particle formation (NPF), referring to the nucleation of molecular clusters and their subsequent growth into the cloud condensation nuclei (CCN) size range, is a globally significant and climate-relevant source of atmospheric aerosols. Classical NPF exhibiting continuous growth from a few nanometers to the Aitken mode around 60â70ânm is widely observed in the planetary boundary layer (PBL) around the world but not in central Amazonia. Here, classical NPF events are rarely observed within the PBL, but instead, NPF begins in the upper troposphere (UT), followed by downdraft injection of sub-50ânm (<span class=inline-formula>CN<sub><50</sub></span>) particles into the PBL and their subsequent growth. Central aspects of our understanding of these processes in the Amazon have remained enigmatic, however. Based on more than 6 years of aerosol and meteorological data from the Amazon Tall Tower Observatory (ATTO; February 2014 to September 2020), we analyzed the diurnal and seasonal patterns as well as meteorological conditions during 254 of such Amazonian growth events on 217 event days, which show a sudden occurrence of particles between 10 and 50ânm in the PBL, followed by their growth to CCN sizes. The occurrence of events was significantly higher during the wet season, with 88â% of all events from January to June, than during the dry season, with 12â% from July to December, probably due to differences in the condensation sink (CS), atmospheric aerosol load, and meteorological conditions. Across all events, a median growth rate (GR) of 5.2ânmâh<span class=inline-formula><sup>â1</sup></span> and a median CS of 1.1â<span class=inline-formula>Ã</span>â10<span class=inline-formula><sup>â3</sup></span>âs<span class=inline-formula><sup>â1</sup></span> were observed. The growth events were more frequent during the daytime (74â%) and showed higher GR (5.9ânmâh<span class=inline-formula><sup>â1</sup></span>) compared to nighttime events (4.0ânmâh<span class=inline-formula><sup>â1</sup></span>), emphasizing the role of photochemistry and PBL evolution in particle growth. About 70â% of the events showed a negative anomaly of the equivalent potential temperature (<span class=inline-formula><math xmlns=http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML id=M8 display=inline overflow=scroll dspmath=mathml><mrow><mi mathvariant=normal>Î</mi><msubsup><mi mathvariant=italic>θ</mi><mtext>e</mtext><mo>â²</mo></msubsup></mrow></math><span><svg:svg xmlns:svg=http://www.w3.org/2000/svg width=21pt height=14pt class=svg-formula dspmath=mathimg md5hash=c13e0e7cc4b78d2bf83cfadff475d594><svg:image xmlns:xlink=http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink xlink:href=acp-22-3469-2022-ie00001.svg width=21pt height=14pt src=acp-22-3469-2022-ie00001.png/></svg:svg></span></span>) â as a marker for downdrafts â and a low satellite brightness temperature (Tir) â as a marker for deep convective clouds â in good agreement with particle injection from the UT in the course of strong convective activity.

Therefore, these events do not appear to be related to downdraft transport and suggest the existence of other currently unknown sources of sub-50ânm particles." @default.
