Acidity, defined as pH, is a central component of aqueous chemistry. In the atmosphere, the
acidity of condensed phases (aerosol particles, cloud water, and fog droplets) governs the …

This paper reviews the current knowledge of the climatological, structural, and
organizational aspects of stratocumulus clouds and the physical processes controlling them …

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 …

Aerosols are a critical factor in the atmospheric hydrological cycle and radiation budget. As a
major agent for clouds to form and a significant attenuator of solar radiation, aerosols affect …

The present paper reviews existing knowledge with regard to Organic Aerosol (OA) of
importance for global climate modelling and defines critical gaps needed to reduce the …

Aerosols affect the climate system by changing cloud characteristics in many ways. They act
as cloud condensation and ice nuclei, they may inhibit freezing and they could have an …

Atmospheric new-particle formation affects climate and is one of the least understood
atmospheric aerosol processes. The complexity and variability of the atmosphere has …

Fundamental questions remain about the origin of newly formed atmospheric aerosol
particles because data from laboratory measurements have been insufficient to build global …

Cloud condensation nuclei (CCN) are derived from particles emitted directly into the
atmosphere (primary emissions) or from the growth of nanometer-sized particles nucleated …

Online coupled mesoscale meteorology atmospheric chemistry models have undergone a
rapid evolution in recent years. Although mainly developed by the air quality modelling …
