Short summary
The newly developed Horizontal Cloud Condensation Nuclei Counter (HCCNC) is capable of generating supersaturation as low as 0.05 % at temperatures as low as 4 °C, allowing for the investigation of CCN activity of ammonium sulfate particles up to 200 nm diameter and ambient aerosol of larger diameter. The HCCNC could be used for low-temperature experiments where gas-phase partitioning into or out of the aerosol phase for semi-volatile compounds is relevant for CCN activity.
