Particle number (PN) concentrations over Europe were calculated by the CTM LOTOS-EUROS using aerosol dynamics from M7 and a new particle number emission database. Results were compared with PN observations (EUSAAR). In autumn and winter the correspondence was better than in spring and summer, possibly due to a poor modeling of nucleation and the incomplete contribution of secondary aerosols. In addition, the emission inventory was used under certain assumptions with regard to (amongst others) the hygroscopicity of particles, and the particles properties of wood combustion products. Sensitivity tests were performed to verify the impact of uncertainties in these assumptions. © Springer Science+Business Media Dordrecht 2014.
