Abstract
The cloud condensation nuclei (CCN) activation of 19 organic species with water solubilities (Csat) ranging from 10-4 to 10 2 g solute 100 g-1 H2O was measured. The organic particles were generated by nebulization of an aqueous or an alcohol solution. Use of alcohols as solvents enables the measurement of low solubility, non-volatile organic CCN activity and reduces the likelihood of residual water in the aerosol. The activation diameter of organic species with very low solubility in water (Csat
