Atmospheric aerosols are complex mixtures of different chemical species, and individual
particles exist in many different shapes and morphologies. Together, these characteristics …

Mineral dust aerosol is one of the major types of aerosol present in the troposphere. The
molecular level interactions of water vapor with mineral dust are of global significance …

The Arctic warms nearly four times faster than the global average, and aerosols play an
increasingly important role in Arctic climate change. In the Arctic, sea salt is a major aerosol …

Particle water and pH are predicted using meteorological observations (relative humidity
(RH), temperature (T)), gas/particle composition, and thermodynamic modeling (ISORROPIA …

The climate effects of atmospheric aerosol particles serving as cloud condensation nuclei
(CCN) depend on chemical composition and hygroscopicity, which are highly variable on …

The spontaneous growth of cloud condensation nuclei (CCN) into cloud droplets under
supersaturated water vapour conditions is described by classic Köhler theory,. This …

Sea spray aerosols impact Earth's radiation balance by directly scattering solar radiation.
They also act as cloud condensation nuclei, thereby altering cloud properties including …

Abstract The NOAA/NASA Fire Influence on Regional to Global Environments and Air
Quality (FIREX‐AQ) experiment was a multi‐agency, inter‐disciplinary research effort to:(a) …

The effects of atmospheric aerosol on climate forcing may be very substantial but are
quantified poorly at present; in particular, the effects of aerosols on cloud radiative …

Accurate predictions of aerosol/cloud interactions require simple, physically accurate
parameterizations of the cloud condensation nuclei (CCN) activity of aerosols. Current …
