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 …

This paper reviews our knowledge of the measurement and modeling of mineral dust
emissions to the atmosphere, its transport and deposition to the ocean, the release of iron …

Particle water and pH are predicted using meteorological observations (relative humidity
(RH), temperature (T)), gas/particle composition, and thermodynamic modeling (ISORROPIA …

This report is the first complete assessment of the science of climate change since Working
Group I (WGI) of the IPCC produced its second report Climate Change 1995: The Science of …

The southern hemisphere marine Aerosol Characterization Experiment (ACE 1) was the first
of a series of experiments that will quantify the chemical and physical processes controlling …

The effect of aerosol water uptake on the aerosol particle light scattering coefficient (σ sp) is
described in this study by comparing measurements from five European sites: the …

The Ron Brown cruise during ACE‐Asia (March–April 2001) encountered complex aerosol
that at times was dominated by marine, polluted, volcanic, and dust aerosols. Average total …

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 …

Visibility degradation is a pervasive and urgent environmental problem in China. The
occurrence of low visibility events is frequent in the North China Plain, where the aerosol …

Scattering of solar radiation by aerosol particles is highly dependent on relative humidity
(RH) as hygroscopic particles take up water with increasing RH. To achieve a better …
