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 …

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 …

This report is the first complete assessment of the science of climate change since Working
Group I (WGI) of the IPCC produced its second report Climate Change 1995: The Science of …

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 …

Sea spray aerosol (SSA) is the largest natural source of aerosols in the troposphere, and
has profound potential significance for climate change, visibility, and human health. It has …

Tropospheric air pollution has impacts on scales ranging from local to global. Reactive
intermediates in the oxidation of mixtures of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and oxides …

We combine in situ measurements of sea salt aerosols (SS) from open ocean cruises and
ground-based stations together with aerosol optical depth (AOD) observations from MODIS …

Minerals are more complex than previously thought because of the discovery that their
chemical properties vary as a function of particle size when smaller, in at least one …

Marine aerosol contributes significantly to the global aerosol load and consequently has an
important impact on both the Earth's albedo and climate. So far, much of the focus on marine …

A parameterization of the activation of a lognormal size distribution of aerosols to form cloud
droplets is extended to the case of multiple externally mixed lognormal modes, each …
