Assessment of Ion-Induced Stratospheric Aerosol Formation,

Abstract

Based on current knowledge, an assessment of the role of ions in the stratospheric aerosol formation process is made. From our order-of-magnitude estimate it is shown that the impact of the average stratospheric ion population on aerosol formation processed in the unperturbed stratosphere is not significant.
