The authors present a model which simulates the formation of condensation nuclei, and cloud condensation nuclei in the remote marine boundary layer by reaction of biogenic sulfur dioxide to produce sulfuric acid - water condensates. Their model is not able to account for the observed formation results for cloud condensation nuclei in the boundary layer itself, using typical atmospheric conditions observed in the boundary layer. They offer several possible explanations for the discrepanacies
