Aerosols are of central importance for atmospheric chemistry and physics, the biosphere,
climate, and public health. The airborne solid and liquid particles in the nanometer to …

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 composition and prevalence of microorganisms in the middle-to-upper troposphere (8–

A class of organic molecules extracted from atmospheric aerosol particles and isolated from
fog and cloud water has been termed HUmic-LIke Substances (HULIS) due to a certain …

The effects of atmospheric aerosol on climate forcing may be very substantial but are
quantified poorly at present; in particular, the effects of aerosols on cloud radiative …

This review provides a comprehensive account of what is known presently about Amazonian
aerosol particles and concludes by formulating outlook and priorities for further research …
