Airborne mineral dust particles can act as natural seeds for cirrus clouds in the upper troposphere. However, the atmospheric abundance of dust is unconstrained in cirrus …
Cloud condensation nuclei (CCN) can affect cloud properties and therefore Earth's radiative balance,–. New particle formation (NPF) from condensable vapours in the free troposphere …

Abstract Biomass burning emits~ 34–41 Tg yr− 1 of smoke aerosol to the atmosphere. Biomass burning aerosol directly influences the Earth's climate by attenuation of solar and …
Natural aerosols in pristine regions form the baseline used to evaluate the impact of anthropogenic aerosols on climate. Sea spray aerosol (SSA) is a major component of …

The spatial distribution and properties of submicron organic aerosol (OA) are among the key sources of uncertainty in our understanding of aerosol effects on climate. Uncertainties are …
Biomass burning emits large numbers of organic aerosol particles, a subset of which are called tarballs (TBs). TBs possess a spherical morphology and unique physical, chemical …
Brown carbon (BrC) associated with aerosol particles in western United States wildfires was measured between July and August 2019 aboard the NASA DC-8 research aircraft during …
Single-particle mass spectrometry (SPMS) instruments characterize the composition of individual aerosol particles in real time. Their fundamental ability to differentiate the …
