Over the past decade, the formation and growth of nanometer-size atmospheric aerosol
particles have been observed at a number of sites around the world. Measurements of …

Aerosol radiative forcing is a critical, though variable and uncertain, component of the global
climate. Yet climate models rely on sparse information of the aerosol optical properties. In …

Mexico City, one of the largest cities in the world, has a major problem with high levels of
anthropogenic gases and aerosols. Some facets of this problem have been studied through …

The quality of the air we breathe is fundamental to the quality of life for the growing millions
of people living in the world's burgeoning megacities. In this book, experts in atmospheric …

An Aerodyne Aerosol Mass Spectrometer (AMS) was deployed at the CENICA Supersite,
during the Mexico City Metropolitan Area field study (MCMA-2003) from 31 March-4 May …

Diurnal variation of number size distribution (particle size 3-800nm) and modal parameters
(geometric standard deviation, geometric mean diameter and modal aerosol particle …

Aerosols in the Mexico City atmosphere can have a non-negligible effect on the ultraviolet
radiation field and hence on the formation of photochemical smog. We used estimates of …

We describe the large-scale meteorological conditions that affected atmospheric chemistry
over Mexico during March 2006 when several field campaigns were conducted in the …

Continuous measurements of the size distribution of atmospheric aerosol in the 3–48 nm
diameter range were performed in the Mexico City metropolitan area. These measurements …

An episodic simulation is conducted to characterize midday (12: 00–17: 00 CDT) ozone (O
3) photochemical production and to investigate its sensitivity to emission changes of ozone …
