However, assuming a constant PNSD for each source overlooks the regular growth and shrinkage of atmospheric particles, which often follow diurnal cycles. ‘Wide-PMF’ restructures the data matrix to place each hourly observation side-by-side; each wide-PMF factor represents a diurnal cycle in the PNSD, capturing formation, emission, growth, shrinkage, and losses, unlike narrow-PMF which presents a time-invariant size distribution whose diurnal cycle has to be inferred from the G-matrix. Using data measured at an urban background site, Wide-PMF reveals diurnal trends in PNSD from each source, and is able to separate photochemical nucleation from traffic nucleation, which are typically inadequately resolved in narrow PMFThis work was supported by the National Centre for Atmospheric Science funded by the U.K. Natural Environment Research Council (R8/H12/83/011) and the European Commission as part of the RI-URBANS project (grant no. 1010362450)This work contributes to the Institut de Ciències del Mar "Severo Ochoa Centre of Excellence" accreditation CEX2024-001494-S funded by AEI 10.13039/501100011033 of the Spanish Ministry of Science and InnovationPeer reviewedElsevierNatural Environment Research Council (UK)European CommissionAgencia Estatal de Investigación (España)Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Científicas [https://ror.org/02gfc7t72]202520252025info:eu-repo/semantics/articlehttp://purl.org/coar/resource_type/c_6501Publisher's versioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionhttp://hdl.handle.net/10261/402592reponame:DIGITAL.CSIC.
