class="journal-contentHeaderColor">Abstract.</strong> Nucleation and condensation associated with biogenic volatile organic compounds (BVOCs) are important aerosol formation pathways, yet their contribution to the upper-tropospheric aerosols remains inconclusive, hindering the understanding of aerosol climate effects. Here, we develop new schemes describing these organic aerosol formation processes in the WRF-Chem model and investigate their impact on the abundance of cloud condensation nuclei (CCN) in the upper troposphere (UT) over the Amazon Basin. We find that the new schemes significantly increase the simulated CCN number concentrations in the UT (e.g., up to <span class="inline-formula">∼</span> 400 cm<span class="inline-formula"><sup>−3</sup></span> at 0.52 % supersaturation) and greatly improve the agreement with the aircraft observations. Organic condensation enhances the simulated CCN concentration by 90 % through promoting particle growth, while organic nucleation, by replenishing new particles, contributes an additional 14 %. Deep convection determines the rate of these organic aerosol formation processes in the UT through controlling the upward transport of biogenic precursors (i.e., BVOCs). This finding emphasizes the importance of the biosphere–atmosphere coupling in regulating upper-tropospheric aerosol concentrations over the tropical forest and calls for attention to its potential role in anthropogenic climate change.</p>"/> <meta name="citation_publication_date" content="2023/01/13"/> <meta name="citation_online_date" content="2023/01/13"/> <meta name="citation_journal_title" content="Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics"/> <meta name="citation_volume" content="23"/> <meta name="citation_issue" content="1"/> <meta name="citation_issn" content="1680-7316"/> <meta name="citation_doi" content="https://doi.org/10.5194/acp-23-251-2023"/> <meta name="citation_firstpage" content="251"/> <meta name="citation_lastpage" content="272"/> <meta name="citation_author" content="Liu, Yunfan"/> <meta name="citation_author_institution" content="Minerva Research Group, Max Planck Institute for Chemistry, Mainz, Germany"/> <meta name="citation_author" content="Su, Hang"/> <meta name="citation_author_institution" content="Multiphase Chemistry Department, Max Planck Institute for Chemistry, Mainz, Germany"/> <meta name="citation_author_orcid" content="0000-0003-4889-1669"> <meta name="citation_author" content="Wang, Siwen"/> <meta name="citation_author_institution" content="Minerva Research Group, Max Planck Institute for Chemistry, Mainz, Germany"/> <meta name="citation_author" content="Wei, Chao"/> <meta name="citation_author_institution" content="Multiphase Chemistry Department, Max Planck Institute for Chemistry, Mainz, Germany"/> <meta name="citation_author" content="Tao, Wei"/> <meta name="citation_author_institution" content="Multiphase Chemistry Department, Max Planck Institute for Chemistry, Mainz, Germany"/> <meta name="citation_author" content="Pöhlker, Mira L."/> <meta name="citation_author_institution" content="Multiphase Chemistry Department, Max Planck Institute for Chemistry, Mainz, Germany"/> <meta name="citation_author_institution" content="Experimental Aerosol and Cloud Microphysics Department, Leibniz Institute for Tropospheric Research, Leipzig, Germany"/> <meta name="citation_author_institution" content="Faculty of Physics and Earth Sciences, Leipzig Institute for Meteorology, Leipzig University, Leipzig, Germany"/> <meta name="citation_author" content="Pöhlker, Christopher"/> <meta name="citation_author_institution" content="Multiphase Chemistry Department, Max Planck Institute for Chemistry, Mainz, Germany"/> <meta name="citation_author_orcid" content="0000-0001-6958-425X"> <meta name="citation_author" content="Holanda, Bruna A."/> <meta name="citation_author_institution" content="Multiphase Chemistry Department, Max Planck Institute for Chemistry, Mainz, Germany"/> <meta name="citation_author" content="Krüger, Ovid O."/> <meta name="citation_author_institution" content="Multiphase Chemistry Department, Max Planck Institute for Chemistry, Mainz, Germany"/> <meta name="citation_author_orcid" content="0000-0002-3321-6655"> <meta name="citation_author" content="Hoffmann, Thorsten"/> <meta name="citation_author_institution" content="Institute of Inorganic and Analytical Chemistry, Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz, Mainz, Germany"/> <meta name="citation_author_orcid" content="0000-0003-0939-271X"> <meta name="citation_author" content="Wendisch, Manfred"/> <meta name="citation_author_institution" content="Faculty of Physics and Earth Sciences, Leipzig Institute for Meteorology, Leipzig University, Leipzig, Germany"/> <meta name="citation_author_orcid" content="0000-0002-4652-5561"> <meta name="citation_author" content="Artaxo, Paulo"/> <meta name="citation_author_institution" content="Institute of Physics, University of São Paulo, São Paulo, Brazil"/> <meta name="citation_author_orcid" content="0000-0001-7754-3036"> <meta name="citation_author" content="Pöschl, Ulrich"/> <meta name="citation_author_institution" content="Multiphase Chemistry Department, Max Planck Institute for Chemistry, Mainz, Germany"/> <meta name="citation_author_orcid" content="0000-0003-1412-3557"> <meta name="citation_author" content="Andreae, Meinrat O."/> <meta name="citation_author_institution" content="Biogeochemistry Department, Max Planck Institute for Chemistry, Mainz, Germany"/> <meta name="citation_author_institution" content="Scripps Institution of Oceanography, University of California, San Diego, La Jolla, CA, USA"/> <meta name="citation_author_orcid" content="0000-0003-1968-7925"> <meta name="citation_author" content="Cheng, Yafang"/> <meta name="citation_author_institution" content="Minerva Research Group, Max Planck Institute for Chemistry, Mainz, Germany"/> <meta name="citation_author_orcid" content="0000-0003-4912-9879"> <meta name="citation_author_email" content="yafang.cheng@mpic.de"> <meta name="citation_reference" content="Andreae, M.

Nucleation and condensation associated with biogenic volatile organic compounds (BVOCs) are important aerosol formation pathways, yet their contribution to the upper-tropospheric aerosols remains inconclusive, hindering the understanding of aerosol climate effects. Here, we develop new schemes describing these organic aerosol formation processes in the WRF-Chem model and investigate their impact on the abundance of cloud condensation nuclei (CCN) in the upper troposphere (UT) over the Amazon Basin. We find that the new schemes significantly increase the simulated CCN number concentrations in the UT (e.g., up to ∼ 400 cm−3 at 0.52 % supersaturation) and greatly improve the agreement with the aircraft observations. Organic condensation enhances the simulated CCN concentration by 90 % through promoting particle growth, while organic nucleation, by replenishing new particles, contributes an additional 14 %. Deep convection determines the rate of these organic aerosol formation processes in the UT through controlling the upward transport of biogenic precursors (i.e., BVOCs). This finding emphasizes the importance of the biosphere–atmosphere coupling in regulating upper-tropospheric aerosol concentrations over the tropical forest and calls for attention to its potential role in anthropogenic climate change."> <meta property="og:url" content="https://acp.copernicus.org/articles/23/251/2023/"> <meta property="twitter:image" content="https://acp.copernicus.org/articles/23/251/2023/acp-23-251-2023-avatar-web.png"/> <meta name="twitter:card" content="summary_large_image"> <meta name="twitter:title" content="Strong particle production and condensational growth in the upper troposphere sustained by biogenic VOCs from the canopy of the Amazon Basin"> <meta name="twitter:description" content="Abstract.

Here, we develop new schemes describing these organic aerosol formation processes in the WRF-Chem model and investigate their impact on the abundance of cloud condensation nuclei (CCN) in the upper troposphere (UT) over the Amazon Basin. We find that the new schemes significantly increase the simulated CCN number concentrations in the UT (e.g., up to <span class="inline-formula">∼</span> 400 cm<span class="inline-formula"><sup>−3</sup></span> at 0.52 % supersaturation) and greatly improve the agreement with the aircraft observations. Organic condensation enhances the simulated CCN concentration by 90 % through promoting particle growth, while organic nucleation, by replenishing new particles, contributes an additional 14 %. Deep convection determines the rate of these organic aerosol formation processes in the UT through controlling the upward transport of biogenic precursors (i.e., BVOCs). This finding emphasizes the importance of the biosphere–atmosphere coupling in regulating upper-tropospheric aerosol concentrations over the tropical forest and calls for attention to its potential role in anthropogenic climate change.</p></div><span class="abstract-mobile-bottom-border mobile-bottom-border hide-on-desktop hide-on-tablet" style="display:none"></span></div> <div id="oldMobileDownloadBox" class="widget dark-border hide-on-desktop download-and-links"> <div class="legend journal-contentLinkColor">Download & links</div> <div class="content"> <ul class="additional_info no-bullets no-styling"> <li> <a class="triangle" data-toggle=".box-notice" data-duration="300" title="PDF Version (8728 KB)" href="https://acp.copernicus.org/articles/23/251/2023/acp-23-251-2023.pdf" > Article (PDF, 8728 KB) </a> </li> </ul> </div> </div> <div id="downloadBoxOneColumn" class="widget dark-border hide-on-desktop download-and-links"> <div class="legend journal-contentLinkColor">Download & links</div> <div class="content"> <ul class="additional_info no-bullets no-styling"> <li><a class="triangle" title="PDF Version (8728 KB)" href="https://acp.copernicus.org/articles/23/251/2023/acp-23-251-2023.pdf">Article</a> <nobr>(8728 KB)</nobr> </li> <li> <a class="triangle" title="XML Version" href="https://acp.copernicus.org/articles/23/251/2023/acp-23-251-2023.xml">Full-text XML</a> </li> <li><a class="triangle" href="https://acp.copernicus.org/articles/23/251/2023/acp-23-251-2023.bib">BibTeX</a></li> <li><a class="triangle" href="https://acp.copernicus.org/articles/23/251/2023/acp-23-251-2023.ris">EndNote</a></li> </ul> </div> </div> <div id="share" class="oneColumnShareMobileBox widget dark-border hide-on-desktop"> <div class="legend journal-contentLinkColor">Share</div> <div class="content row m-0 py-1"> <div class="col-auto pl-0"> <a class="share-one-line" href="https://www.mendeley.com/import/?url=https%3A%2F%2Facp.copernicus.org%2Farticles%2F23%2F251%2F2023%2F" title="Mendeley" target="_blank"> <img src="https://www.atmospheric-chemistry-and-physics.net/mendeley.png" alt="Mendeley"/> </a> </div> <div class="col-auto"> <a class="share-one-line" href="https://www.reddit.com/submit?url=https%3A%2F%2Facp.copernicus.org%2Farticles%2F23%2F251%2F2023%2F" title="Reddit" target="_blank"> <img src="https://www.atmospheric-chemistry-and-physics.net/reddit.png" alt="Reddit"> </a> </div> <div class="col-auto"> <a class="share-one-line last" href="https://twitter.com/intent/tweet?text=Strong+particle+production+and+condensational+growth+in+the+upper+troposphere+sustained+by+biogenic+VOCs+from+the+canopy+of+the+Amazon+Basin https%3A%2F%2Facp.copernicus.org%2Farticles%2F23%2F251%2F2023%2F" title="Twitter" target="_blank"> <img src="https://www.atmospheric-chemistry-and-physics.net/twitter.png" alt="Twitter"/> </a> </div> <div class="col-auto"> <a class="share-one-line" href="https://www.facebook.com/share.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Facp.copernicus.org%2Farticles%2F23%2F251%2F2023%2F&t=Strong+particle+production+and+condensational+growth+in+the+upper+troposphere+sustained+by+biogenic+VOCs+from+the+canopy+of+the+Amazon+Basin" title="Facebook" target="_blank"> <img src="https://www.atmospheric-chemistry-and-physics.net/facebook.png" alt="Facebook"/> </a> </div> <div class="col-auto pr-0"> <a class="share-one-line last" href="https://www.linkedin.com/shareArticle?mini=true&url=https%3A%2F%2Facp.copernicus.org%2Farticles%2F23%2F251%2F2023%2F&title=Strong+particle+production+and+condensational+growth+in+the+upper+troposphere+sustained+by+biogenic+VOCs+from+the+canopy+of+the+Amazon+Basin" title="LinkedIn" target="_blank"> <img src="https://www.atmospheric-chemistry-and-physics.net/linkedin.png" alt="LinkedIn"> </a> </div> <div class="col pr-0 mobile-native-share"> <a href="#" data-title="Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics" data-text="*Strong particle production and condensational growth in the upper troposphere sustained by biogenic VOCs from the canopy of the Amazon Basin* Yunfan Liu et al." data-url="https://acp.copernicus.org/articles/23/251/2023/" class="mobile-native-share share-one-line last"><i class="co-mobile-share display-none"></i></a> </div> </div> </div> <div id="citation-footer" class="sec"> <div class="h1-special journal-contentHeaderColor">How to cite. </div> <div class="citation-footer-content show-no-js"> <p> <div class="citation-footer"> Liu, Y., Su, H., Wang, S., Wei, C., Tao, W., Pöhlker, M.

The CCN residing in the upper troposphere (UT), which have been repeatedly observed in a substantial amount over the globe (e.g., Minikin et al., 2003; Andreae et al., 2018, and references therein; Williamson et al., 2019), not only constitute an important aerosol source for the lower troposphere (J. Wang et al., 2016; Williamson et al., 2019), but also can directly be activated into cloud droplets through in-cloud activation and thus alter the cloud properties (Paluch and Knight, 1984; Fan et al., 2018). However, the formation mechanisms for the upper-tropospheric CCN are poorly understood, which impedes their representation in models and the assessment of their climate effects (Heald et al., 2011; Watson-Parris et al., 2019).</p><p id="d1e297">Large concentrations of cloud active aerosol particles were detected in the UT over the Amazon by aircraft observations during the ACRIDICON-CHUVA campaign (Wendisch et al., 2016; Andreae et al., 2018). Chemical analysis demonstrated that their composition is dominated by organic compounds with signatures of secondary organic aerosol (SOA) related to the oxidation of biogenic volatile organic compounds (BVOCs; Schulz et al., 2018); yet, detailed processes driving the biogenic SOA formation remain inconclusive. Generally, two mechanisms may promote the CCN production from biogenic SOA in the UT. The first relates to organic new particle formation (NPF), where aerosol particles can form out of nucleation of highly oxygenated molecules (HOMs) oxidized from biogenic organic vapors such as <span class="inline-formula"><i>α</i></span>-pinene and <span class="inline-formula"><i>β</i></span>-pinene (Burkholder et al., 2007; Kirkby et al., 2016) and subsequently grow to larger sizes. The pure organic NPF can notably affect the atmospheric CCN budget in the planetary boundary layer (PBL; Gordon et al., 2016). Alternatively, if there are enough preexisting fine particles in the UT from transport or inorganic nucleation, the condensation of low volatile organic compounds (LVOCs) produced by BVOC oxidation onto the preexisting particles can also increase the CCN number (D'Andrea et al., 2013). However, a quantitative assessment of the BVOC-driven nucleation and condensation processes is lacking (Tröstl et al., 2016; Williamson et al., 2019). To what extent these two processes account for the CCN production in the Amazon UT, and whether these processes and CCN formation proceed in the UT or if CCN form in the lower troposphere and then are transported upwards, is not known.</p><p id="d1e314">Motivated by these questions, this study implements the laboratory-based organic nucleation (HOM-induced nucleation) and condensation processes into the WRF-Chem model and conducts simulations to quantify the CCN production from these BVOC-driven SOA formation pathways in the Amazon UT. We explore the upper-tropospheric biogenic SOA formation mechanisms in terms of the involved atmospheric physical and chemical processes and on a diurnal variation scale.</p></div><span class="section1-mobile-bottom-border mobile-bottom-border hide-on-desktop hide-on-tablet"></span></div> <div class="sec" id="section2"><div class="grid-container no-margin header-element"><span class="grid-100 mobile-grid-100 tablet-grid-100 grid-parent more-less-mobile" data-hide="#section2 .co-arrow-open,.section2-content" data-show="#section2 .co-arrow-closed,.section2-mobile-bottom-border"><div id="Ch1.S2" class="h1"><span class="label">2</span> Results<span class="hide-on-desktop hide-on-tablet triangleWrapper"> <i class="co-arrow-closed"></i><i class="co-arrow-open" style="display:none"></i></span></div></span></div> <div class="section2-content show-no-js hide-on-mobile-soft"><div class="sec"><h2 id="Ch1.S2.SS1"><span class="label">2.1</span> Simulation of number concentration of CCN and total aerosol particles in the upper troposphere</h2> <p id="d1e332">The organic nucleation mechanism in this study focuses on pure organic nucleation, including neutral and ion-induced processes, triggered by HOMs from <span class="inline-formula"><i>α</i></span>-pinene and <span class="inline-formula"><i>β</i></span>-pinene oxidation (Kirkby et al., 2016), as it was found dominant among organic nucleation pathways in the Amazon (Zhu and Penner, 2019). The organic condensation mechanism addresses the dynamic condensation of LVOCs oxidized from <span class="inline-formula"><i>α</i></span>-pinene, <span class="inline-formula"><i>β</i></span>-pinene, and isoprene (Mann et al., 2010) as well as HOMs. For an accurate representation of HOM concentrations, we adopted the common representative intermediates mechanism (CRIMECH) scheme (Jenkin et al., 2008) with an explicit description of <span class="inline-formula"><i>α</i></span>-pinene and <span class="inline-formula"><i>β</i></span>-pinene oxidation and calculated the HOM concentration dynamically. Such processing methods circumvented the uncertainties related to species approximation in other chemical schemes (Riccobono et al., 2014; Zhu et al., 2019) and the bulk assumption of an equilibrium state of HOMs (Gordon et al., 2016; Tröstl et al., 2016), respectively. The temperature effects on nucleation rate and LVOC yields were included in the model according to a combination of nucleation theory (Yu et al., 2017) and experimental results (Sahhaf et al., 2008). Details of the model description can be found in Appendix Sect. A1.1 and A1.2.</p> <p id="d1e378">To disentangle the organic nucleation effect from the organic condensation influence, we performed the following sensitivity simulations:</p> <ul> <li> <p id="d1e386">BASE, the default WRF-Chem simulation with H<span class="inline-formula"><sub>2</sub></span>SO<span class="inline-formula"><sub>4</sub></span>-H<span class="inline-formula"><sub>2</sub></span>O binary nucleation (Wexler et al., 1994) and without biogenic nucleation or condensation;</p> </li> <li> <p id="d1e419">CTRL, in which both the newly developed nucleation and condensation modules were added;</p> </li> <li> <p id="d1e425">OCD, which only added the organic condensation;</p> </li> <li> <p id="d1e431">BNUnoT and OCDnoT, which excluded the temperature effect on the nucleation rate and the LVOC yields, respectively;</p> </li> <li> <p id="d1e437">NoOH, which was based on CTRL but without the HOM formation from OH oxidation.</p> </li> </ul> <p id="d1e442">Settings for all scenarios are summarized in Table A3.

The size of the CCN is approximately 90 nm in diameter, calculated according to the algorithm of Su et al. (2010; Sect. A3). Compared with the observations, the BASE case appears to reproduce the vertical distribution of CN in general (Sect. A3), but the CCN concentration in this simulation shows noticeable biases, especially in the UT (9–15 km) where the model underestimates the observed CCN number by up to 500 cm<span class="inline-formula"><sup>−3</sup></span> (58 %). Considering the different size ranges in which CN and CCN reside, the large model underestimation in CCN may suggest insufficient growth of the smaller particles in the UT.</p> <p id="d1e478">When adding the particle growth from the LVOC condensation into the model (i.e., the OCD case), the simulated CCN number in the UT rises notably, with an increase of 310 cm<span class="inline-formula"><sup>−3</sup></span> (about 90 % relative to the BASE case; Table A4). However, the larger particles from the condensation growth meanwhile deplete the nano-sized particles, causing a dramatic drop in CN number concentrations from BASE to OCD. Though the non-cloud-resolving resolution of the simulations may cause an excessive mixing of ultrafine particle-laden fresh cloud outflows and their surrounding air masses (Andreae et al., 2018), and thus aggravate the particle scavenging, the considerable underestimation of the averaged CN number under a reasonable condensation growth in OCD is strongly indicative of some missing NPF mechanisms (Zhu et al., 2019; Zhao et al., 2020). As expected, by further taking into account the organic nucleation (i.e., the CTRL case), the simulated CN number concentrations are enhanced substantially (2100 cm<span class="inline-formula"><sup>−3</sup></span>, over 50 %; Table A4) relative to the OCD case and in markedly better agreement with the observation, while the CCN number concentrations in the model show a relatively weaker increase (90 cm<span class="inline-formula"><sup>−3</sup></span>, about 14 %; Table A4). Thus, in total, both the BVOC-driven organic nucleation and condensation play important roles in maintaining the particle population and size distribution in the UT (Fig. A7). The HOM nucleation effectively increases the CN number by replenishing new nano-sized particles, yet its contribution to the CCN, which are mainly in accumulation mode, is relatively limited. In contrast, the organic condensation causes efficient particle growth and, therefore, greatly enhances the CCN population.</p> <div class="fig" id="Ch1.F2"><a target="_blank" class="figure-link" href="https://acp.copernicus.org/articles/23/251/2023/acp-23-251-2023-f02-web.png"><img alt="https://acp.copernicus.org/articles/23/251/2023/acp-23-251-2023-f02" data-webversion="https://acp.copernicus.org/articles/23/251/2023/acp-23-251-2023-f02-web.png" src="https://acp.copernicus.org/articles/23/251/2023/acp-23-251-2023-f02-thumb.png" data-printversion="https://acp.copernicus.org/articles/23/251/2023/acp-23-251-2023-f02-high-res.png" data-width="2067" data-height="1163"></a><div class="caption"><p id="d1e519"><strong class="caption-number">Figure 2</strong>Profiles of <strong>(a)</strong> contribution to organic aerosol (OA) mass from secondary organic aerosol production processes and <strong>(b)</strong> observed and simulated OA mass averaged along all the flight tracks.

The condensation of LVOCs plays a predominant role in the OA mass production among all processes, while the other two formation pathways, especially the HOM nucleation, contribute little (Fig. 2a). This also explains why the organic condensation can cause profound particle growth while the HOM nucleation works mainly to increase the number of small particles. The OA production from the SOA processes in the UT shows a similar vertical pattern to that of the OA mass (Fig. 2b), implying local origins of the upper-tropospheric CCN.</p> <div class="fig" id="Ch1.F3"><a target="_blank" class="figure-link" href="https://acp.copernicus.org/articles/23/251/2023/acp-23-251-2023-f03-web.png"><img alt="https://acp.copernicus.org/articles/23/251/2023/acp-23-251-2023-f03" data-webversion="https://acp.copernicus.org/articles/23/251/2023/acp-23-251-2023-f03-web.png" src="https://acp.copernicus.org/articles/23/251/2023/acp-23-251-2023-f03-thumb.png" data-width="2067" data-height="1928"></a><div class="caption"><p id="d1e540"><strong class="caption-number">Figure 3</strong>Spatial distribution of <strong>(a)</strong> <span class="inline-formula"><i>α</i></span>-pinene, <strong>(b)</strong> HOMs, <strong>(c)</strong> organic nucleation rate, <strong>(d)</strong> isoprene, <strong>(e)</strong> SOA production rate by LVOCs, <strong>(f)</strong> CCN at 0.52 % supersaturation, and <strong>(g)</strong> condensation sink of HOMs in the upper troposphere (UT) averaged over 1 September–1 October 2014, all at STP.

The region with high BVOC concentrations in the UT is different from the <span class="inline-formula"><i>α</i></span>-pinene distribution in the PBL (Fig. A9) but identical to the precipitation pattern as well as the large upward <span class="inline-formula"><i>α</i></span>-pinene flux (Fig. 3h–i), showing a necessary role of deep convection transport in the BVOC availability in the UT.</p> <p id="d1e657">The <span class="inline-formula"><i>J</i><sub>org</sub></span> can reach over 0.1 cm<span class="inline-formula"><sup>−3</sup></span> s<span class="inline-formula"><sup>−1</sup></span> in the UT (Fig. 3), whereas the PBL (0–4 km) and middle troposphere (MT; 5–8 km) show low values (Figs. A9–A10), even though the <span class="inline-formula"><i>α</i></span>-pinene concentration in PBL is a magnitude larger than in the UT. Such high upper-tropospheric <span class="inline-formula"><i>J</i><sub>org</sub></span> is favored by not only the low sink of HOMs (CS; Fig. 3g) but also the low temperature in the UT (Fig. A2a). When the temperature dependence of <span class="inline-formula"><i>J</i><sub>org</sub></span> (Sect. A1.2) is not considered, the <span class="inline-formula"><i>J</i><sub>org</sub></span> in the UT is much lower than in the model run with the temperature effect (Fig. A11). The overall magnitude of <span class="inline-formula"><i>J</i><sub>org</sub></span> is lower than simulated previously in the Amazon (Zhu et al., 2019), possibly due to the consideration of the ion sink in this study. For the SOA production from LVOC condensation, the bulk assumption of the LVOC yields used previously in the boreal forest (Scott et al., 2014) fails to reproduce the observed OA mass due to different conditions in the tropics (Sect. A4). A temperature-dependent correction of LVOC yields based on laboratory experiments (Saathoff et al., 2009) is necessary for correcting the OA simulation bias associated with the bulk LVOC yields assumption (Fig. 2b). The low temperature in the UT also serves as a favorable condition for the SOA production from LVOC condensation.</p> <div class="fig" id="Ch1.F4"><a target="_blank" class="figure-link" href="https://acp.copernicus.org/articles/23/251/2023/acp-23-251-2023-f04-web.png"><img alt="https://acp.copernicus.org/articles/23/251/2023/acp-23-251-2023-f04" data-webversion="https://acp.copernicus.org/articles/23/251/2023/acp-23-251-2023-f04-web.png" src="https://acp.copernicus.org/articles/23/251/2023/acp-23-251-2023-f04-thumb.png" data-printversion="https://acp.copernicus.org/articles/23/251/2023/acp-23-251-2023-f04-high-res.png" data-width="2067" data-height="2276"></a><div class="caption"><p id="d1e749"><strong class="caption-number">Figure 4</strong>Modeled temporal variation of the rate and precursors of organic nucleation and condensation as well as meteorological variables. <strong>(a)</strong> Daily variation of regionally averaged nucleation and condensation rates, number concentration of CN and CCN at 0.52 % supersaturation (CCN(0.52 %)), vertical wind at 8 km (<span class="inline-formula"><i>w</i></span>), and precipitation.

The biogenic SOA episodes in the UT emerge with stronger convection, where strong vertical wind effectively transports biogenic precursors to the UT and fosters SOA formation (Fig. 4b). In contrast, the biogenic SOA formation in the PBL tends to be suppressed by deep convection (Fig. A14) due to the decreased emission and oxidation of BVOCs by reduced incident solar radiation in cloudy weather (Fig. A13) as well as the BVOC dilution near the surface by low-BVOC air from the MT.</p> <p id="d1e881">The organic nucleation and condensation rates demonstrate a clear diurnal cycle, with significant occurrence in the daytime.

A1.2; Atkinson et al., 2006), making it the dominant oxidant, which is also evident as the sensitivity study switching off the OH oxidation (NoOH) shows significantly reduced HOM concentrations (Fig. A15). Thus, the photolysis origin of OH (Fig. 4b–c) explains the daytime burst of the <span class="inline-formula"><i>J</i><sub>org</sub></span> and condensation rate. A detailed mechanism tracking the diurnal variation of the upper-tropospheric CCN production can be drawn. The nighttime convective activity as an extension of the former daytime convection contributes to the upper-tropospheric accumulation of biogenic precursors. With the onset of solar radiation, the photochemical reactions start to produce OH, which efficiently oxidizes BVOCs to form HOMs and LVOCs and then triggers the organic nucleation and condensation. The CN and CCN concentrations increase accordingly and reach high levels in the afternoon, which is also the typical time for the vigorous development of local convective clouds and thereby favors potential interactions between upper-tropospheric CCN and clouds.</p> </div></div><span class="section2-mobile-bottom-border mobile-bottom-border hide-on-desktop hide-on-tablet"></span></div> <div class="sec conclusions" id="section3"><div class="grid-container no-margin header-element"><span class="grid-100 mobile-grid-100 tablet-grid-100 grid-parent more-less-mobile" data-hide="#section3 .co-arrow-open,.section3-content" data-show="#section3 .co-arrow-closed,.section3-mobile-bottom-border"><div id="Ch1.S3" class="h1"><span class="label">3</span> Conclusions<span class="hide-on-desktop hide-on-tablet triangleWrapper"> <i class="co-arrow-closed"></i><i class="co-arrow-open" style="display:none"></i></span></div></span></div> <div class="section3-content show-no-js hide-on-mobile-soft"><p id="d1e913">In this work, we developed a new organic nucleation and condensation scheme for the WRF-Chem model to investigate the CN and CCN production in the UT (upper troposphere) by BVOC-driven SOA formation over a forest canopy region, the Amazon Basin.</p><p id="d1e916">The model evaluation against aircraft measurements shows that including the BVOC-driven SOA formation significantly improves the model agreement with the measured upper-tropospheric CCN (at 0.52 % supersaturation) number concentrations by elevating the simulated values up to <span class="inline-formula">∼</span> 400 cm<span class="inline-formula"><sup>−3</sup></span>.

WRF-Chem is a meteorology–chemistry online coupled regional model, which integrates meteorological, gas-phase, and aerosol fields by calculating transport of chemical species under the same dynamical system as meteorological elements at each time step and considering complicated feedbacks between meteorological field and trace gases and aerosols (Grell et al., 2005).</p> <p id="d1e995">The WRF-Chem configurations used are listed in Table A1. We chose the common representative intermediates mechanism (CRIMECH) scheme (Jenkin et al., 2008; Watson et al., 2008) with the kinetic preprocessor (KPP) interface to simulate the gas-phase chemistry. CRIMECH contains up to 112 non-methane volatile organic compounds (VOCs), including <span class="inline-formula"><i>α</i></span>-pinene, <span class="inline-formula"><i>β</i></span>-pinene, and isoprene (Archer-Nicholls et al., 2014; Watson et al., 2008), and adopts 652 chemical reactions involving inorganic species, organic vapors, and their oxidation intermediates, based on the Master Chemical Mechanism (MCM). These chemical settings enable it to directly provide the gas-phase precursors, i.e., <span class="inline-formula"><i>α</i></span>-pinene, <span class="inline-formula"><i>β</i></span>-pinene, and isoprene, and chemical reactions for the biogenic SOA formation. The Model for Simulating Aerosol Interactions and Chemistry (MOSAIC; Zaveri et al., 2008) was utilized to simulate aerosols, which uses discrete size bins to represent the aerosol size distribution. This study employed the four-bin version with the size bins distributed as listed in Table A2. Aerosol species in MOSAIC include five inorganic ions, i.e., sulfate, nitrate, ammonium, sodium, and chloride, and three unreactive primary aerosol species, i.e., black carbon (BC), particulate organic matter (POM), and other inorganics (OIN; Fast et al., 2006; Zaveri et al., 2008). In the WRF-Chem version 3.9.1 MOSAIC aerosol module, the binary nucleation of H<span class="inline-formula"><sub>2</sub></span>SO<span class="inline-formula"><sub>4</sub></span>-H<span class="inline-formula"><sub>2</sub></span>O is included (Wexler et al., 1994), while the organic nucleation and condensation are not accounted for. The coagulation process of particles and gas-particle partitioning were parameterized as described in Zaveri et al. (2008). The dry deposition of aerosol is parameterized by the updated resistance-in-series approach of Wesely (1989). The in- and below-cloud wet deposition take place by activating aerosol from an interstitial state into cloud-borne particles and calculating the washout rate due to precipitation, respectively (Chapman et al., 2009; Easter et al., 2004). The WRF-Chem model configurations used in this study allow aerosol–cloud interactions, following the way described by Fast et al. (2006) and Chapman et al. (2009), while the aerosol–radiation interactions were not included in the model simulations.</p> <span class="tableCitations"></span><div class="table-wrap" id="App1.Ch1.S1.T1"><div class="caption"><p id="d1e1057"><strong class="caption-number">Table A1</strong>WRF-Chem configuration.</p></div><a class="table-link" href="https://acp.copernicus.org/articles/23/251/2023/acp-23-251-2023-t01.png" target="_blank"><img src="https://acp.copernicus.org/articles/23/251/2023/acp-23-251-2023-t01-thumb.png" target="_blank" data-webversion="https://acp.copernicus.org/articles/23/251/2023/acp-23-251-2023-t01-web.png" data-width="2067" data-height="1725" data-printversion="https://acp.copernicus.org/articles/23/251/2023/acp-23-251-2023-t01.png" data-csvversion="https://acp.copernicus.org/articles/23/251/2023/acp-23-251-2023-t01.xlsx"></a><p class="downloads"><a class="triangle journal-contentLinkColor table-download" href="https://acp.copernicus.org/articles/23/251/2023/acp-23-251-2023-t01.png" target="_blank">Download Print Version</a><span class="hide-on-mobile download-separator"> | </span><a class="triangle journal-contentLinkColor table-download" href="https://acp.copernicus.org/articles/23/251/2023/acp-23-251-2023-t01.xlsx" target="_blank">Download XLSX</a></p></div> <span class="tableCitations"></span><div class="table-wrap" id="App1.Ch1.S1.T2"><div class="caption"><p id="d1e1216"><strong class="caption-number">Table A2</strong>Description of aerosol size bins in MOSAIC.</p></div><a class="table-link" href="https://acp.copernicus.org/articles/23/251/2023/acp-23-251-2023-t02.png" target="_blank"><img src="https://acp.copernicus.org/articles/23/251/2023/acp-23-251-2023-t02-thumb.png" target="_blank" data-webversion="https://acp.copernicus.org/articles/23/251/2023/acp-23-251-2023-t02-web.png" data-width="2067" data-height="998" data-printversion="https://acp.copernicus.org/articles/23/251/2023/acp-23-251-2023-t02.png" data-csvversion="https://acp.copernicus.org/articles/23/251/2023/acp-23-251-2023-t02.xlsx"></a><div class="table-wrap-foot"><p id="d1e1219"><span class="inline-formula"><sup>a</sup></span>, <span class="inline-formula"><sup>b</sup></span>, <span class="inline-formula"><sup>c</sup></span> low boundary, high boundary, and geometric mean diameter of the bin in nm, respectively.</p></div><p class="downloads"><a class="triangle journal-contentLinkColor table-download" href="https://acp.copernicus.org/articles/23/251/2023/acp-23-251-2023-t02.png" target="_blank">Download Print Version</a><span class="hide-on-mobile download-separator"> | </span><a class="triangle journal-contentLinkColor table-download" href="https://acp.copernicus.org/articles/23/251/2023/acp-23-251-2023-t02.xlsx" target="_blank">Download XLSX</a></p></div> </div> <div class="sec"><h3 id="App1.Ch1.S1.SS1.SSS2"><span class="label">A1.2</span> Model improvement</h3> <p id="d1e1552">Based on the aforementioned CRIMECH gas-phase chemistry scheme and MOSAIC aerosol scheme, a new module resolving the purely organic nucleation and condensation associated with BVOCs has been added to WRF-Chem, which provides a modeling tool to investigate biogenic SOA formation and its contribution to the upper-tropospheric CCN.</p> <p id="d1e1555">The implementation of the new organic nucleation includes integrating the production of HOMs in the CRIMECH gas-phase chemistry scheme, resetting the sectional bins in the aerosol model, and adding parameterizations of pure organic nucleation mechanisms by HOMs. Specifically, four reactions regarding HOM production from the oxidation of <span class="inline-formula"><i>α</i></span>-pinene and <span class="inline-formula"><i>β</i></span>-pinene by O<span class="inline-formula"><sub>3</sub></span> and OH were added to the CRIMECH mechanism based on reaction coefficients and yields suggested by laboratory experiments (Atkinson et al., 2006).

To explicitly represent the nucleation of vapor into particles, we extended the lower end of the aerosol size range in the MOSAIC scheme from 39 to 0.6 nm by introducing three additional size bins whose boundaries are set following the same lognormal size distribution law as the original four bins (Table A2). Thus, the newly developed seven-bin MOSAIC scheme can resolve the formation and initial growth of new particles and assures a high computation efficiency.

The rise of fire plumes after emission was represented by a plume-rise parameterization (Freitas et al., 2007). The primary organic matter (POM) emission rate was calculated based on the OC emission by applying a ratio of 1.6 between the mass of POM and OC (Andreae, 2019).

Compared to the observed SO<span class="inline-formula"><sub>2</sub></span> concentration of 27 ppt in the PBL (Andreae and Andreae, 1988) and 80 ppt near the ground surface (Ramsay et al., 2020), the modeled SO<span class="inline-formula"><sub>2</sub></span> concentration in the PBL, especially near the ground surface, was relatively higher (Fig. A5). This could be related to several factors, e.g., overestimated SO<span class="inline-formula"><sub>2</sub></span> emission (Andreae, 2019) and/or inadequate scavenging (Hardacre et al., 2021), and requires further investigations. The influence of the SO<span class="inline-formula"><sub>2</sub></span> overestimation in the PBL on the simulated aerosol concentration was examined by conducting a sensitivity study, namely BASE_SO<span class="inline-formula"><sub>2</sub></span>_constrain, where all the settings were the same as the BASE case except that the SO<span class="inline-formula"><sub>2</sub></span> concentration in the PBL was fixed to 30 ppt in accordance with the lower end of the range of published measurements during the dry season. The simulation results show that the difference in the aerosol concentration within the PBL between BASE and BASE_SO<span class="inline-formula"><sub>2</sub></span>_constrain is minor (Fig. A6), which indicates an insignificant influence of the SO<span class="inline-formula"><sub>2</sub></span> overestimation in the PBL on the simulated aerosol concentration.</p> <p id="d1e3404">In this study, the H<span class="inline-formula"><sub>2</sub></span>SO<span class="inline-formula"><sub>4</sub></span>-H<span class="inline-formula"><sub>2</sub></span>O binary nucleation mechanism was simulated as it has been widely used for describing inorganic nucleation in the free troposphere (Cui et al., 2014; Gordon et al., 2016; Zhu and Penner, 2019). As shown from the nucleation rate in Fig. A12, H<span class="inline-formula"><sub>2</sub></span>SO<span class="inline-formula"><sub>4</sub></span>-H<span class="inline-formula"><sub>2</sub></span>O binary nucleation mainly occurs in the free troposphere, which is consistent with the vertical distribution of binary nucleation simulated for the Amazon region in Zhao et al. (2020). The H<span class="inline-formula"><sub>2</sub></span>SO<span class="inline-formula"><sub>4</sub></span>-H<span class="inline-formula"><sub>2</sub></span>O binary nucleation causes a CN increase of over 3000 cm<span class="inline-formula"><sup>−3</sup></span> in the UT under sufficient particle condensational growth as approximately estimated from the difference between OCD and BASEnoNUC (Table A4). It is of a comparable magnitude to the CN increase of 2100 cm<span class="inline-formula"><sup>−3</sup></span> by organic nucleation. A higher rate of the H<span class="inline-formula"><sub>2</sub></span>SO<span class="inline-formula"><sub>4</sub></span>-H<span class="inline-formula"><sub>2</sub></span>O binary nucleation over the organic nucleation was also found by Zhao et al. (2020) in the Amazon from 9 to 13 km altitude but the overall H<span class="inline-formula"><sub>2</sub></span>SO<span class="inline-formula"><sub>4</sub></span>-H<span class="inline-formula"><sub>2</sub></span>O binary nucleation in the UT was insignificant in Zhao et al. (2020), which is different from the result in this study. This is expected as the result in Zhao et al. (2020) was for a low-SO<span class="inline-formula"><sub>2</sub></span> area and there was competition for H<span class="inline-formula"><sub>2</sub></span>SO<span class="inline-formula"><sub>4</sub></span> by other H<span class="inline-formula"><sub>2</sub></span>SO<span class="inline-formula"><sub>4</sub></span>-involving nucleation processes in Zhao et al. (2020). In a global simulation where the inorganic nucleation was represented only by the H<span class="inline-formula"><sub>2</sub></span>SO<span class="inline-formula"><sub>4</sub></span>-H<span class="inline-formula"><sub>2</sub></span>O binary nucleation, the column-integrated H<span class="inline-formula"><sub>2</sub></span>SO<span class="inline-formula"><sub>4</sub></span>-H<span class="inline-formula"><sub>2</sub></span>O binary nucleation in the Amazon is of the same magnitude as but somewhat lower than the organic nucleation (Zhu and Penner, 2019). Considering the H<span class="inline-formula"><sub>2</sub></span>SO<span class="inline-formula"><sub>4</sub></span>-H<span class="inline-formula"><sub>2</sub></span>O binary nucleation occurs mainly in the upper troposphere and the organic nucleation in Zhu and Penner (2019) includes the hetero-molecular organic nucleation, the relative importance of H<span class="inline-formula"><sub>2</sub></span>SO<span class="inline-formula"><sub>4</sub></span>-H<span class="inline-formula"><sub>2</sub></span>O binary nucleation to pure organic nucleation in the UT should be greater than shown in the column-integrated results. Therefore the simulated H<span class="inline-formula"><sub>2</sub></span>SO<span class="inline-formula"><sub>4</sub></span>-H<span class="inline-formula"><sub>2</sub></span>O binary nucleation in this study should be generally reasonable.</p> <p id="d1e3752">The model can generally reproduce the vertical distribution of CN (Fig. 1) as described in Sect. 2.1; yet, a systematic overestimation of CN exists in model simulations below 5 km. This could be associated with uncertainties in the fire emission inventories (Andreae, 2019), as aerosols near the ground surface during the Amazon dry season are overwhelmingly influenced by persistent biomass burning (Andreae et al., 2015). In addition, the comparison of a grid-average value in the model with an observation on a spot may also contribute to the discrepancy. To make the CCN comparison, the modeled aerosols of a size consistent with that of the observed CCN(0.52 %) were used. The cut-off size of the CCN(0.52 %) was calculated to be approximately 90 nm in diameter (Su et al., 2010), based on an observed average hygroscopicity value of 0.12 derived from the aerosol component observations. This hygroscopicity level is close to those of organic aerosols (Petters and Kreidenweis, 2007), which is expected since organic aerosols dominate the aerosol components in this area (Andreae et al., 2018). As the main aerosol component (i.e., organic aerosols) can be well reproduced by the developed model version (Fig. 2b), it is justifiable to use this observed hygroscopicity to calculate the CCN size in models. The comparison shows that the CCN number was underestimated by the BASE case. The model underestimation of CCN number in the UT reaches <span class="inline-formula">−58</span> % as shown in Sect. 2.1. Compared to the UT, the biases in CCN below 4 km are much smaller and lie around <span class="inline-formula">−9</span> %. The negative biases in CCN number in both the UT and PBL are however corrected in the CTRL case, suggesting the lack of SOA production and inadequate particle growth in the BASE case as the reason for the CCN underestimation.</p><div class="fig" id="App1.Ch1.S1.F12"><a target="_blank" class="figure-link" href="https://acp.copernicus.org/articles/23/251/2023/acp-23-251-2023-f12-web.png"><img alt="https://acp.copernicus.org/articles/23/251/2023/acp-23-251-2023-f12" data-webversion="https://acp.copernicus.org/articles/23/251/2023/acp-23-251-2023-f12-web.png" src="https://acp.copernicus.org/articles/23/251/2023/acp-23-251-2023-f12-thumb.png" data-width="2067" data-height="1334"></a><div class="caption"><p id="d1e3777"><strong class="caption-number">Figure A8</strong>Horizontal distribution of <strong>(a)</strong> OH and <strong>(b)</strong> O<span class="inline-formula"><sub>3</sub></span> averaged over 1 September–1 October 2014 from the CTRL case.

The BASE case using the MOSAIC aerosol module and FINN biomass burning emission inventory shows a reasonable performance of OA representation in the PBL, which was also confirmed by previous evaluations for this region (Archer-Nicholls et al., 2014; Q. Wang et al., 2016); however, the OA in the UT is significantly underestimated. This negative bias of OA mass in the UT in the BASE case is greatly improved in the CTRL case by considering the organic aerosol processes driven by the biogenic precursors, among which the LVOC condensation plays a dominant role (Fig. 2a).</p> <p id="d1e4379">To further examine the uncertainty of the LVOC condensation in terms of the LVOC yields, sensitivity simulations regarding the temperature dependence of the LVOC yields were performed. The OCDnoT case adopted a bulk assumption of a yield of 13 % from monoterpene oxidation and 3 % from isoprene oxidation (OCDnoT), as suggested by Scott et al. (2014); while in the CTRL case, the temperature dependence of LVOC yields based on an <span class="inline-formula"><i>α</i></span>-pinene oxidation experiment (Saathoff et al., 2009) was applied to the LVOC yields. The OCDnoT case produces a larger amount of boundary layer OA than the CTRL case, causing a higher bias in the model compared with the observations and suggesting an excessive SOA production. A significant difference between the environment where the LVOC yields were originally based (Kroll et al., 2005) and the region investigated here may be the reason for the poor performance of the bulk yields in the studied area, as the temperature in previous applications is much lower than the tropical forest boundary layer conditions. On the other end, the temperature difference could also explain the underestimation of OA mass with bulk yields in the OCDnoT for the UT (Fig. 2b), where the temperature is far below the freezing point (Fig. A2). With the temperature dependence correction, i.e., LVOC yields increasing with colder temperature, the OA underestimation in the UT in the OCDnoT case can be effectively corrected in the CTRL case.</p> </div></div><span class="section4-mobile-bottom-border mobile-bottom-border hide-on-desktop hide-on-tablet"></span></div> <div id="section5" class="sec"><div class="grid-container no-margin header-element"><span class="grid-100 mobile-grid-100 tablet-grid-100 grid-parent more-less-mobile" data-hide="#section5 .co-arrow-open,.section5-content" data-show="#section5 .co-arrow-closed,.section5-mobile-bottom-border"><div class="h1"><span class="section-number"> </span>Data availability<span class="hide-on-desktop hide-on-tablet triangleWrapper"> <i class="co-arrow-closed"></i><i class="co-arrow-open" style="display:none"></i></span></div></span></div> <div class="section5-content show-no-js hide-on-mobile-soft"><p id="d1e4395">The model results presented in this work are available at <a href="https://doi.org/10.17617/3.3ISOYC">https://doi.org/10.17617/3.3ISOYC</a> (Liu, 2022).</p></div><span class="section5-mobile-bottom-border mobile-bottom-border hide-on-desktop hide-on-tablet"></span></div> <div id="section6" class="sec"><div class="grid-container no-margin header-element"><span class="grid-100 mobile-grid-100 tablet-grid-100 grid-parent more-less-mobile" data-hide="#section6 .co-arrow-open,.section6-content" data-show="#section6 .co-arrow-closed,.section6-mobile-bottom-border"><div class="h1"><span class="section-number"> </span>Author contributions<span class="hide-on-desktop hide-on-tablet triangleWrapper"> <i class="co-arrow-closed"></i><i class="co-arrow-open" style="display:none"></i></span></div></span></div> <div class="section6-content show-no-js hide-on-mobile-soft"><p id="d1e4404">YC designed and led the study.

However, in the last 20 years it has become apparent that secondary organic aerosols are also highly abundant in the troposphere. These could represent a major coupling in the earth system between the biosphere and the atmosphere, and thus climate because forests are known to emit large quantities of biogenic VOCs that are known to produce secondary organic aerosols. However selectively studying their influence on the free troposphere is difficult as it requires in situ measurements aboard scientific aircraft. This study observes the role of biogenic secondary organic aerosols on the abundance of cloud condensation nuclei in the upper troposphere above the Amazon, and compares it with a state-of-the-art predictive model. This further supports the importance of these processes in earth system models and gives confidence that the current level of understanding will produce accurate predictions.</div> <div style="display: none" class="content show-js shortSummaryShortenOnMSType">Traditionally, the interactions between aerosols, clouds, weather and climate has focused on...</div> <div class="content"> <a href="#" class="more-less show-js triangle" data-hide=".shortSummaryFullOnMSType" data-show=".shortSummaryShortenOnMSType" data-toggleCaption='Hide'>Read more</a> </div> </div> <div class="widget dark-border"> <div class="legend journal-contentLinkColor">Short summary</div> <div class="content hide-js shortSummaryFull">The origins of the abundant cloud condensation nuclei (CCN) in the upper troposphere (UT) of the Amazon remain unclear. With model developments of new secondary organic aerosol schemes and constrained by observation, we show that strong aerosol nucleation and condensation in the UT is triggered by biogenic organics, and organic condensation is key for UT CCN production. This UT CCN-producing mechanism may prevail over broader vegetation canopies and deserves emphasis in aerosol–climate feedback.</div> <div style="display: none" class="content show-js shortSummaryShorten">The origins of the abundant cloud condensation nuclei (CCN) in the upper troposphere (UT) of the...</div> <div class="content"> <a href="#" class="more-less show-js triangle" data-hide=".shortSummaryFull" data-show=".shortSummaryShorten" data-toggleCaption='Hide'>Read more</a> </div> </div> <div class="widget dark-border hide-on-mobile hide-on-tablet p-0" id="share"> <div class="legend journal-contentLinkColor">Share</div> <div class="row p-0"> <div class="col-auto pl-0"> <a class="share-one-line" href="https://www.mendeley.com/import/?url=https%3A%2F%2Facp.copernicus.org%2Farticles%2F23%2F251%2F2023%2F" title="Mendeley" target="_blank"> <img src="https://www.atmospheric-chemistry-and-physics.net/mendeley.png" alt="Mendeley"/> </a> </div> <div class="col-auto"> <a class="share-one-line" href="https://www.reddit.com/submit?url=https%3A%2F%2Facp.copernicus.org%2Farticles%2F23%2F251%2F2023%2F" title="Reddit" target="_blank"> <img src="https://www.atmospheric-chemistry-and-physics.net/reddit.png" alt="Reddit"> </a> </div> <div class="col-auto"> <a class="share-one-line last" href="https://twitter.com/intent/tweet?text=Strong+particle+production+and+condensational+growth+in+the+upper+troposphere+sustained+by+biogenic+VOCs+from+the+canopy+of+the+Amazon+Basin https%3A%2F%2Facp.copernicus.org%2Farticles%2F23%2F251%2F2023%2F" title="Twitter" target="_blank"> <img src="https://www.atmospheric-chemistry-and-physics.net/twitter.png" alt="Twitter"/> </a> </div> <div class="col-auto"> <a class="share-one-line" href="https://www.facebook.com/share.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Facp.copernicus.org%2Farticles%2F23%2F251%2F2023%2F&t=Strong+particle+production+and+condensational+growth+in+the+upper+troposphere+sustained+by+biogenic+VOCs+from+the+canopy+of+the+Amazon+Basin" title="Facebook" target="_blank"> <img src="https://www.atmospheric-chemistry-and-physics.net/facebook.png" alt="Facebook"/> </a> </div> <div class="col-auto pr-0"> <a class="share-one-line last" href="https://www.linkedin.com/shareArticle?mini=true&url=https%3A%2F%2Facp.copernicus.org%2Farticles%2F23%2F251%2F2023%2F&title=Strong+particle+production+and+condensational+growth+in+the+upper+troposphere+sustained+by+biogenic+VOCs+from+the+canopy+of+the+Amazon+Basin" title="LinkedIn" target="_blank"> <img src="https://www.atmospheric-chemistry-and-physics.net/linkedin.png" alt="LinkedIn"> </a> </div> <div class="col pr-0 mobile-native-share"> <a href="#" data-title="Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics" data-text="*Strong particle production and condensational growth in the upper troposphere sustained by biogenic VOCs from the canopy of the Amazon Basin* Yunfan Liu et al." data-url="https://acp.copernicus.org/articles/23/251/2023/" class="mobile-native-share share-one-line last"><i class="co-mobile-share display-none"></i></a> </div> </div> </div> <div class="widget dark-border"> <div class="legend journal-contentLinkColor">Altmetrics</div> <div class="wrapper"> <div class="content text-center"> Final-revised paper </div> <div class="content text-center"> <div class="altmetric-embed" data-link-target="_blank" data-hide-less-than="1" data-no-score data-badge-type="medium-donut" data-doi="10.5194/acp-23-251-2023"></div> </div> </div> <div class="wrapper"> <div class="content text-center"> Preprint </div> <div class="content text-center"> <div class="altmetric-embed" data-link-target="_blank" data-hide-less-than="1" data-no-score data-badge-type="medium-donut" data-doi="10.5194/acp-2022-530"></div> </div> </div> </div> <script type="text/javascript"> !function (e, t, n) { var d = "createElement", c = "getElementsByTagName", m = "setAttribute", n = document.getElementById(e);
