Titan's thick atmosphere is primarily composed of nitrogen and methane. Complex chemistry
happening in Titan's atmosphere produces optically thick organic hazes. These hazes play …

A new technique for calibrating photo-acoustic aerosol absorption spectrometers with
multiple laser passes in the acoustic cavity (multi-pass PAS) has been developed utilizing …

Refractive index retrievals (also termed inverse Mie methods or optical closure) have seen
considerable use as a method to extract the refractive index of aerosol particles from …

Light-absorbing organic aerosol (brown carbon, BrC) can affect Earth's radiative balance.
However, owing to uncertainties in BrC sources, composition, and lifetime, the radiative …

Alpha-dicarbonyl compounds are believed to form brown carbon in the atmosphere via
reactions with ammonium sulfate (AS) in cloud droplets and aqueous aerosol particles. In …

Aerosols generated from aqueous samples of readily obtainable humic material standards
are often used as proxies for organic particulates found in the atmosphere in various …

Planetary organic hazes can play a significant role in influencing a planet's radiative
balance and climate, with their impact determined by the optical properties of the haze. The …

Atmospheric organic hazes are present on many planetary bodies, possibly including the
ancient Earth and exoplanets, and can greatly influence surface and atmospheric properties …

Reactions involving the dicarbonyl species methylglyoxal (MG) have been suggested as an
important pathway for the production of secondary organic aerosol (SOA) in the atmosphere …

Volatile organic matter suspended in the atmosphere such as α-pinene and β-caryophyllene
undergoes aging processes and chemical, and photo-oxidation reactions to create …
