Organic carbon (OC) accounts for a large fraction of atmospheric aerosol and has profound
effects on air quality, atmospheric chemistry, and climate forcing. The molecular composition …

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 …

1. INTRODUCTION Atmospheric aerosols play a key role in the Earth's atmosphere.
Aerosols influence cloud formation and their lifetime, they affect the distribution and amount …

The collisions between two oxygen molecules give rise to O4 absorption in the Earth
atmosphere. O4 absorption is relevant to atmospheric transmission and Earth's radiation …

Brown carbon aerosol consists of light‐absorbing organic particulate matter with wavelength‐
dependent absorption. Aerosol optical extinction, absorption, size distributions, and …

Atmospheric brown carbon (BrC) is an important contributor to the radiative forcing of climate
by organic aerosols. Because of the molecular diversity of BrC compounds and their …

Atmospheric aerosols, solid or liquid particles suspended in the atmosphere, range in size
from 1 nm to> 100 μm and come from a wide variety of sources. 1 As such, aerosols have a …

During the fourth Fire Lab at Missoula Experiment (FLAME-4, October–November 2012) a
large variety of regionally and globally significant biomass fuels was burned at the US Forest …

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 …

Broadband spectroscopy is an invaluable tool for measuring multiple gas-phase species
simultaneously. In this work we review basic techniques, implementations, and current …
