| الوصف: | The aerosol particles that provide cloud condensation and ice nuclei contribute to key cloud processes associated with cold-air outbreak (CAO) events but are poorly constrained in climate models due to sparse observations. Here we retrieve aerosol size distribution modes from measurements at Andenes, Norway during the Cold-Air Outbreaks in the Marine Boundary Layer Experiment (COMBLE) and at Zeppelin Observatory, approximately 1000 km upwind in Svalbard. During CAO events at Andenes, the sea spray mode number concentration is correlated to strong over-ocean winds with a mean of 8±4 cm -3 that is 71 % higher than during non-CAO conditions. Additionally during CAO events at Andenes, the mean Hoppel minimum diameter is 6 nm smaller than during non-CAO conditions though the estimated supersaturation is lower and the number concentration of particles that likely activated in-cloud is 109±61 cm -3 (similar to non-CAO conditions). For CAO trajectories between Zeppelin Observatory and Andenes, the upwind-to-downwind change in number concentration is largest for the accumulation mode with a mean decrease of 93±95 cm -3 , likely attributable primarily to precipitation scavenging. These characteristic properties of aerosol size distributions during CAO events provide guidance for evaluating CAO aerosol-cloud interaction processes in models. |
