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 …

This paper presents a review of recently acquired knowledge on the physico-chemical
properties of mineral dust from Africa and Asia based on data presented and discussed …

Predicting the formation of ice in the atmosphere presents one of the great challenges in
physical sciences with important implications for the chemistry and composition of the …

A workshop was held in the framework of the ACCENT (Atmospheric Composition Change–
a European Network) Joint Research Programme on" Aerosols" and the Programme on" …

Heterogeneous ice nucleation is an important mechanism for the glaciation of mixed phase
clouds and may also be relevant for cloud formation and dehydration at the cirrus cloud …

Dust accumulates on photovoltaic modules through the additive processes of particle
deposition, rebound, and resuspension. These mechanisms are largely controlled by air …

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 …

Aerosols and clouds play central roles in atmospheric chemistry and physics, climate, air
pollution, and public health. The mechanistic understanding and predictability of aerosol …

Condensation contributes to soiling of photovoltaic modules by trapping dust particles and,
in certain conditions, leaving a material bridge between particles and the surface after …

The deposition mode ice nucleation efficiency of various dust aerosols was investigated at
cirrus cloud temperatures between 196 and 223 K using the aerosol and cloud chamber …
