Tethered Balloon Deployment of Sapiens Air Sensors for Planetary Boundary Layer Research at High Altitude

New particle formation (NPF) is a significant source of atmospheric aerosols, playing a crucial role in influencing global climate. The nucleation and subsequent growth processes involved in NPF have sparked considerable research interest. To advance the study of NPF in China, researchers employed the high-performance MAS series to measure air quality at elevations exceeding 1000 meters. This investigation focused on the vertical profiles of key pollutants and their formation mechanisms, providing valuable insights into atmospheric dynamics.
