RECONCILIATION OF MEASUREMENTS OF HYGROSCOPIC GROWTH AND CRITICAL SUPERSATURATION OF AEROSOL PARTICLES IN CENTRAL GERMANY

Reconciliation of measurements of hygroscopic growth and critical supersaturation of aerosol particles in central Germany

Aerosol physical, chemical and hygroscopic properties were measured in a range of airmasses during COPS (Convective and Orographically-induced Precipitation Study) ground-based in June and July of 2007 at the Hornisgrinde mountain site in the Black Forest, Southwest Germany.Non-refractory aerosol composition was measured with an Aerosol Mass Spectr
