Atmospheric Aerosols Make Storm Systems Larger
Researchers investigated aerosol impacts on mesoscale convective systems forming under different wind shear conditions.
Photolysis is a Major Removal Mechanism that Controls the Budget of Organic Aerosol
New experiments show organic aerosol can be lost from the atmosphere faster than most models predict.
Mixing and Aging of Atmospheric Aerosols
This study revealed that fresh organic vapors are soluble in particulate organics that are actively growing in size. However, if the particulate matter ages, fresh organic vapors can no longer mix with the organic matter.
More Accurate Aerosol Emission Needed for High-Resolution Earth System Models
Researchers introduce revised emission treatment that conserves mass and preserves the original heterogeneity.
Bridging the Data Gap in Southern Hemisphere Aerosol Research
Extensive in situ and remote sensing measurements were collected to address data gaps and better understand the interactions of convective clouds and the surrounding environment.
New Model Explains Missing Aerosol and Cloud Condensation Nuclei
Researchers synthesize molecular-level laboratory experiments to develop comprehensive model representations of new particle formation and the chemical transformation of precursor gases.
