Short summary

In this paper, we studied the spatiotemporal variability of N_cn and particle number size distributions, as well as N_ccn and CCN activities over the NWPO in the spring of 2014. We found that a pool of nucleation-mode atmospheric particles is aloft over the NWPO. Through comprehensive comparison with observations in the literature, we illustrate the characteristics of N_cn and N_ccn over the NWPO in 2014 and reveal their changes against the results measured two decades ago.
