Aerosol and aqueous particles are ubiquitous in Earth's atmosphere and play key roles in
geochemical processes such as natural chemical cycles, cloud and fog formation, air …

The Earth's atmosphere offers a striking contrast with other known planets by its rich organic
composition, which results almost exclusively from the presence of life on the planet. About …

Accurate predictions of aerosol/cloud interactions require simple, physically accurate
parameterizations of the cloud condensation nuclei (CCN) activity of aerosols. Current …

Many of the significant advances in our understanding of atmospheric particles can be
attributed to the application of mass spectrometry. Mass spectrometry provides high …

Laboratory experiments investigated the relationship between oxidation level and
hygroscopic properties of secondary organic aerosol (SOA) particles generated via OH …

The surface composition of aerosol droplets is central to predicting cloud droplet number
concentrations, understanding atmospheric pollutant transformation, and interpreting …

The activation of aerosol particles into cloud droplets in the Earth's atmosphere is both a key
process for the climate budget and a main source of uncertainty. Its investigation is facing …

Surface-active compounds present in aerosols can increase their cloud condensation nuclei
(CCN) activation efficiency by reducing the surface tension (σ) in the growing droplets …

Organosulfates have been observed as constituents of atmospheric aerosols in a wide
range of environments; however their hygroscopic properties remain uncharacterised. Here …

Aircraft observations of meteorological, trace gas, and aerosol properties were made during
May–September 2013 in the southeastern United States (US) under fair-weather, afternoon …
