Observations of new particle formation at two distinct Indian subcontinental urban locations

While the formation of new atmospheric aerosol particles and their subsequent growth have been observed under diverse environmental conditions globally, such observations are very scarce over Indian subcontinent. Here, we present the systematic analysis for new particle formation (NPF) from two distinct urban locations in India during April–May of two consecutive years. Particle size distributions were measured at Pune (18.53°N, 73.85°E) during...
