The surface tension and cloud condensation nuclei (CCN) activation of sea spray aerosol particles

<p>In marine environments, sea spray aerosol (SSA) particles have been found to contain surface-active substances (surfactants) originating from the sea surface microlayer. These surfactants can lower the surface tension of the SSA particles, facilitating their activation to cloud droplets. Th...
