Abstract Knowledge of the scattering enhancement factor, f (RH), is important for an accurate
description of direct aerosol radiative forcing. This factor is defined as the ratio between the …

burning Aerosols & Stratocumulus Environment: Lifecycles & Interactions Experiment) …

This study analyses 4-years of continuous 7-λ Aethalometer (AE-33) measurements in an
urban-background environment of Athens, to resolve the spectral absorption coefficients (b …

During volcanic eruptions and their aftermath, communities may be concerned about the
impacts of inhaling volcanic ash. Access to effective respiratory protection (RP) is therefore …

The insufficient number of ground-based stations for measuring Particulate Matter< 10 μm
(PM 10) in the developing countries hinders PM 10 monitoring at a regional scale. The …

During the pre-monsoon season (April–June), the Indo-Gangetic Basin (IGB) suffers from
frequent and intense dust storms originated from the arid and desert regions of southwest …

Strong events of long-range transported biomass burning aerosol were detected during July
2013 at three EARLINET (European Aerosol Research Lidar Network) stations, namely …

Light scattering and absorption properties of atmospheric aerosols are of vital importance for
evaluating their types, sources and radiative forcing. This is of particular interest over the …

Assessment of the radiative forcing of aerosols in models still lacks sufficient input data for
aerosol hygroscopicity. The light scattering enhancement factor [f (RH, λ)] is a crucial …

To elucidate the variations in mass concentrations of organic carbon (OC) and black carbon
(BC) in PM 2.5 and their light absorption characteristics in Lanzhou, we conducted one-year …
