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 …

Scientific findings from the last decades have clearly highlighted the need for a more
comprehensive approach to atmospheric change processes. In fact, observation of …

The refractive index (RI) dictates interaction between light and nanoparticles and therefore is
important to health, environmental, and materials sciences. Using nanoparticle tracking …

Nighttime oxidation of biogenic volatile organic compounds (BVOCs) by nitrate radicals
(NO3·) represents one of the most important interactions between anthropogenic and natural …

Secondary organic aerosols (SOAs) affect incoming solar radiation by interacting with light
at ultraviolet and visible wavelength ranges. However, the relationship between the …

Fresh water hosing simulations, in which a fresh water flux is imposed in the North Atlantic to
force fluctuations of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation, have been routinely …

Aerosols influence the Earth's radiative budget by scattering and absorbing incoming solar
radiation. The optical properties of aerosols vary as a function of wavelength, but few …

One of the major uncertainties in the understanding of Earth's climate system is the
interaction between solar radiation and aerosols in the atmosphere. Aerosols exposed to …

Large quantities of dust with diameters< 10μm are dispersed in earth's atmosphere by wind-
driven processes. This dust is of significant scientific interest owing to its ability to potentially …

Lasers and laser spectroscopic techniques have been extensively used in several
applications since their advent, and the subject has been reviewed extensively in the last …
