The radiative effect of ion-induced inorganic nucleation in the free troposphere

Abstract

To determine the effect of cosmic rays on the Earth's climate via ion-induced nucleation, a parametrisation of inorganic nucleation was formulated based on experiments at the CERN CLOUD experiment. The parametrisation was implemented in the GLOMAP aerosol microphysics model and used to estimate the radiative effect of the change in ionisation experienced over an 11-year solar cycle.
