Anthropogenic emissions and land use changes have modified atmospheric aerosol
concentrations and size distributions over time. Understanding preindustrial conditions and …

Air pollution over China has attracted wide interest from public and academic community.
PM 2.5 is the primary air pollutant across China. Quantifying interactions between …

PM2. 5 chemical components play significant roles in the climate, air quality, and public
health, and the roles vary due to their different physicochemical properties. Obtaining …

Since the publication of the compilation of biomass burning emission factors by Andreae
and Merlet (2001), a large number of studies have greatly expanded the amount of available …

Aerosols are important atmospheric constituents with significant impacts on both regional air
quality and the global climate and environment. Aerosol effects on radiation, clouds and …

Multiphase chemistry plays a vital role in the Earth system, climate, and health. Chemical
reactions, mass transport, and phase transitions between gases, liquids, and solids are …

The cloud droplet number concentration (N d) is of central interest to improve the
understanding of cloud physics and for quantifying the effective radiative forcing by aerosol …

INTRODUCTION Human-made emissions of particulate air pollution can offset part of the
warming induced by emissions of greenhouse gases, by enhancing low-level clouds that …

Aerosols greatly influence precipitation characteristics, thereby impacting the regional
climate and human life. As an indispensable factor for cloud formation and a critical radiation …

How clouds respond to anthropogenic sulfate aerosols is one of the largest sources of
uncertainty in the radiative forcing of climate over the industrial era. This uncertainty limits …
