The oceans contribute to aerosol particles in the atmosphere through two different physical
mechanisms: first by the production of sea spray aerosol (SSA), and second by emitting …

Decades of atmospheric research have focused on the Western North Atlantic Ocean
(WNAO) region because of its unique location that offers accessibility for airborne and ship …

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 …

Marine low clouds play an important role in the climate system, and their properties are
sensitive to cloud condensation nuclei concentrations. While new particle formation …

Controls on pristine aerosol over the Southern Ocean (SO) are critical for constraining the
strength of global aerosol indirect forcing. Observations of summertime SO clouds and …

Natural aerosols in pristine regions form the baseline used to evaluate the impact of
anthropogenic aerosols on climate. Sea spray aerosol (SSA) is a major component of …

The change in planetary albedo due to aerosol− cloud interactions during the industrial era
is the leading source of uncertainty in inferring Earth's climate sensitivity to increased …

A simple heuristic model is described to assess the potential for increasing solar reflection
by augmenting the aerosol population below marine low clouds, which nominally leads to …

The majority of the aerosol particle number (condensation nuclei or CN) in the marine
boundary layer (MBL) consists of sulfate and organic compounds that have been shown to …

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 …
