Warmly welcome to the Physics Colloquium! Atmospheric aerosol particles affect both air quality and climate. It is estimated that more than half of them form in the atmosphere from gaseous precursor vapors in a complex chain of physical and chemical reactions. The recent developments in instrumentation have enabled direct measurements of the first steps of the aerosol formation and growth processes, happening in the size range on 1 – 2 nanometers. 

In this talk professor Katrianne Lehtipalo from University of Helsinki will review some of the technical developments and scientific results from both simulation chamber experiments, as well as field observations related to atmospheric new particle formation processes.

Welcome to seminar on Friday, 14th March at 10.15. Coffee is served at 10:00 in the lobby of the Department of Physics. The lecture will take place at Ylistönrinne Campus in lecture hall FYS1. The talk begins at 10:15. You can also follow the event remotely:
