Clouds play a critical role in modulating the Earth's radiation balance and climate.
Anthropogenic aerosol particles that undergo aging processes, such as soot, aid cloud …

Cloud properties and their evolution influence Earth's radiative balance. The cloud
microphysical (CMP) processes that shape these properties are therefore important to be …

In a quest to represent the Earth system, climate models have become more and more
complex. This generates problems, for example, hindering model interpretability. This study …

Soot particles released in the atmosphere have long been investigated for their ability to
affect the radiative forcing. Although freshly emitted soot particles are generally considered …

Secondary organic aerosol (SOA) in the atmosphere can be formed from the gas phase
precursors and evolve in the particle phase. Compared to numerous studies on gas phase …

The global aerosol direct and indirect radiative effect remains the largest source of
uncertainty in estimations of the global energy budget in climate models. Black carbon (BC) …

The cloud condensation nuclei (CCN) activity of black carbon (BC) particles importantly
determines their impacts on cloud microphysics and atmospheric lifetime. This process is …

The morphology of soot particle influences their optical properties and their ability to act as
cloud condensation nuclei (CCN). However, the morphology of soot particles has not been …

Organic‐lean and organic‐rich size‐selected soot particles were exposed to a varying O3
concentration, progressively decreasing the soot‐water contact angle (θ) to study its impact …

The oxidation of soot particles with ozone (O3) increases the particles' ability to act as cloud
condensation nuclei (CCN). To assess if this process is a relevant source for CCN in the …
