This review presents a glossary and review of terminology used to describe the chemical
and physical processes involved in soot formation and evolution and is intended to aid in …

Atmospheric ice‐nucleating particles (INPs) play a critical role in cloud freezing processes,
with important implications for precipitation formation and cloud radiative properties, and …

The literature on atmospheric particulate matter (PM), or atmospheric aerosol, has increased
enormously over the last 2 decades and amounts now to some 1500–2000 papers per year …

Black carbon aerosol plays a unique and important role in Earth's climate system. Black
carbon is a type of carbonaceous material with a unique combination of physical properties …

Predicting the formation of ice in the atmosphere presents one of the great challenges in
physical sciences with important implications for the chemistry and composition of the …

The formation of ice particles in the Earth's atmosphere strongly affects the properties of
clouds and their impact on climate. Despite the importance of ice formation in determining …

A small subset of the atmospheric aerosol population has the ability to induce ice formation
at conditions under which ice would not form without them (heterogeneous ice nucleation) …

Formation of cirrus clouds depends on the availability of ice nuclei to begin condensation of
atmospheric water vapor. Although it is known that only a small fraction of atmospheric …

Atmospheric aerosol particles serve as condensation nuclei for the formation of both, cloud
droplets and atmospheric ice particles. As a result, they exert a substantial influence on the …

Bioaerosols are relevant for public health and may play an important role in the climate
system, but their atmospheric abundance, properties, and sources are not well understood …
