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 …

The spontaneous growth of cloud condensation nuclei (CCN) into cloud droplets under
supersaturated water vapour conditions is described by classic Köhler theory,. This …

We study the influence of high NaCl concentrations on the equilibrium and dynamic surface
tensions of ionic (CTAB) and nonionic (Tween 80) surfactant solutions. Equilibrium surface …

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

Surface tension influences the fraction of atmospheric particles that become cloud droplets.
Although surfactants are an important component of aerosol mass, the surface tension of …

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 surface composition and surface tension of aqueous droplets can influence key aerosol
characteristics and processes including the critical supersaturation required for activation to …

Using a comparative evaporation kinetics approach, we describe a new and accurate
method for determining the equilibrium hygroscopic growth of aerosol droplets. The time …

This work presents experimental data on the cloud condensation nuclei (CCN) activity of two‐
component mixtures containing surfactants. Nine binary systems were tested combining …
