“…To further evaluate the role of <span class="inline-formula"><i>κ</i>_OA</span> in CCN predictions, we established a new OA scheme that uses the OA oxidation level (parameterized by the <span class="inline-formula"><i>f</i>₄₄</span> factor) to calculate <span class="inline-formula"><i>κ</i>_OA</span> and predict CCN. This method also shows a large bias, especially during midday hours (up to 40 %), indicating that diurnal information about the oxygenation degree does not improve CCN predictions. …”
