Sulfuric acid condensation sink calculated for the Arctic Ocean 2018 expedition

Julia Schmale, Andrea Baccarini

The condensation sink is a measure of the sulfuric acid lifetime against condensation on preexisting aerosol particles. Dimensionally it is the inverse of a time (reported in per second) and it is calculated starting from the aerosol size distribution. A l ...
