“…Furthermore, NPF can be triggered by the rapid dimethylsulfide (DMS) oxidation above clouds (Bates et al, 1987;Kreidenweis et al, 1991;Katoshevski et al, 1999) and cloud outflow regions associated with convection (e.g., Hermann et al, 2003). NPF within marine boundary layers can strongly affect CCN number concentrations at all cloud-relevant supersaturations (e.g., Kalivitis et al, 2015;Kalkavouras et al, 2017;Debevec et al, 2018). When these small particles, however, are mixed within the boundary layer, they may subsequently grow to CCN-relevant sizes, or even act as CCN in strongly convective clouds (Fan et al, 2013;Wang et al, 2016).…”
