Abstract: The article discusses a study which aims to forecast the number concentration of 50 nanometer (nm) atmospheric aerosol particles. The study has used a combination of in-situ gas phase and meteorological parameters. Results revealed that the parameters used in the study are effective in predicting the concentration of climatically active particles.
