Atmospheric soot and organic particles from fossil fuel combustion and biomass burning
modify Earth's climate through their interactions with solar radiation and through …

Abstract Purpose of Review The study of organic aerosol hygroscopic growth and cloud
droplet activation is crucial for accurately quantifying their climate and environmental …

Aerosol hygroscopicity strongly influences the number size distribution, phase state, optical
properties, and multiphase chemistry of aerosol particles. Due to the large number of …

Aerosol hygroscopic behavior plays a central role in determining climate effects and
environmental influence of atmospheric particulates. Water-soluble organic acids (WSOAs) …

With their extensive coverage, marine low clouds greatly impact global climate. Presently,
marine low clouds are poorly represented in global climate models, and the response of …

Wildfire is a major source of biomass burning aerosols, which greatly impact Earth climate.
Tree species in North America (NA) boreal forests can support high-intensity crown fires …

Water uptake properties of organic matter (OM) are critical for aerosol direct and indirect
effects. OM contains various chemical species that have a wide range of water solubility …

Polycatechol and polyguaiacol are light-absorbing and water-insoluble particles that
efficiently form from iron-catalyzed reactions with aromatic compounds from biomass …

Aerosol particles are ubiquitous in the atmosphere, and currently contribute a large
uncertainty to climate models. Part of the endeavour to reduce this uncertainty takes the form …

Humic‐like substances (HULIS) are unresolved compounds isolated from organic matter in
atmospheric aerosols. Understanding the chemical structures and sources that control the …
