Global maps of surface layer SO2 concentration and CCN concentration at 0.3% supersaturation
Comparison of P3 aircraft CN concentration measurements (blue) with concurrent GLOMAP CN concentration (orange). Aircraft pressure is also shown (black)

Daily SO2 levels from Manchester, UK averaged over 4 years. Values are displayed as a fraction of the mean Further Research • Weekly cycles in other pollutants, such as NOx from transport emissions, may have stronger weekly cycles and hence contribute significantly to enhanced CCN formation on weekdays. • Including a primary aerosol component in the emissions could act to simulate the nucleation that occurs in the dense emission plumes. • An offline cloud microphysics model can be used to examine possible cloud responses to modelled changes aerosol burden..
