Quiet New Particle Formation is a significant aerosol source in the Amazon boundary layer
The mechanisms behind new particle formation (NPF) in the Amazon have long remained elusive, with classical “banana” events being rarely observed. Here, we analysed a decade of particle number size distributions (10–420 nm) from the Amazon Tall Tower
