Hygroscopicity is one of the most important physicochemical properties of aerosol particles
and also plays indispensable roles in many other scientific and technical fields. A myriad of …

The climate in the Arctic is changing faster than anywhere else on earth. Poorly understood
feedback processes relating to Arctic clouds and aerosol–cloud interactions contribute to a …

Sea spray is one of the largest natural aerosol sources and plays an important role in the
Earth's radiative budget. These particles are inherently hygroscopic, that is, they take-up …

This study reveals aerosol liquid water content (ALWC) in PM2. 5 ranged from 2% up to
74%, and the associated secondary inorganic fraction rose from 24% to 55%, while ambient …

Sea spray aerosols (SSAs) make up a substantial proportion of aerosols in the global
atmosphere and, especially when considering marine haze and cloud layers, can have a …

As has been the case in North America and western Europe, the SO 2 emissions have
substantially reduced in the North China Plain (NCP) in recent years. Differential rates of …

The effect of aerosol water uptake on the aerosol particle light scattering coefficient (σ sp) is
described in this study by comparing measurements from five European sites: the …

The hygroscopic properties of submicron aerosol particles were determined at a suburban
site (Wuqing) in the North China Plain among a cluster of cities during the period 17 July to …

We examine the hygroscopic properties of particles freshly emitted from laboratory biomass
burning experiments conducted during the second Fire Lab At Missoula Experiment (FLAME …

The wet removal of black carbon aerosol (BC) in the atmosphere is a crucial factor in
determining its atmospheric lifetime and thereby the vertical and horizontal distributions …
