Abstract
Aircraft observations have revealed ubiquitous new particle formation in the tropical upper troposphere over the Amazon1,2 and the Atlantic and Pacific oceans3,4. Although the vapours involved remain unknown, recent satellite observations have revealed surprisingly high night-time isoprene mixing ratios of up to 1 part per billion by volume (ppbv) in the tropical upper troposphere5.

Molecular Understanding of the Enhancement in Organic Aerosol Mass at High Relative Humidity
/ Surdu, Mihnea ; Lamkaddam, Houssni ; Wang, Dongyu S ; Bell, David M ; Xiao, Mao ; Lee, Chuan Ping ; Li, Dandan ; Caudillo, Lucía ; Marie, Guillaume ; Scholz, Wiebke et al.
The mechanistic pathway by which high relative humidity (RH) affects gas–particle partitioning remains poorly understood, although many studies report increased secondary organic aerosol (SOA) yields at high RH. Here, we use real-time, molecular measurements of both the gas and particle phase to provide a mechanistic understanding of the effect of RH on the partitioning of biogenic oxidized organic molecules (from α-pinene and isoprene) at low temperatures (243 and 263 K) at the CLOUD chamber at CERN. [...]

Atmospheric new particle formation from the CERN CLOUD experiment
/ Kirkby, Jasper (CERN) ; Amorim, António ; Baltensperger, Urs ; Carslaw, Kenneth S ; Christoudias, Theodoros ; Curtius, Joachim ; Donahue, Neil M ; Haddad, Imad El ; Flagan, Richard C ; Gordon, Hamish et al.
Aerosol particles in the atmosphere profoundly influence public health and climate. Ultrafine particles enter the body through the lungs and can translocate to essentially all organs, and they represent a major yet poorly understood health risk. [...]

An intercomparison study of four different techniques for measuring the chemical composition of nanoparticles
/ Caudillo, Lucía (Frankfurt U., FIAS ; Frankfurt U.) ; Surdu, Mihnea (PSI, Villigen) ; Lopez, Brandon (Carnegie Mellon U.) ; Wang, Mingyi (Carnegie Mellon U. ; Caltech) ; Thoma, Markus (Frankfurt U., FIAS ; Frankfurt U.) ; Bräkling, Steffen (LLNL, Livermore) ; Buchholz, Angela (Aalto U.) ; Simon, Mario (Frankfurt U., FIAS ; Frankfurt U.) ; Wagner, Andrea C (Frankfurt U., FIAS ; Frankfurt U.) ; Müller, Tatjana (Frankfurt U., FIAS ; Frankfurt U. ; Mainz, Max Planck Inst.) et al.
Currently, the complete chemical characterization of nanoparticles
(< 100 nm) represents an analytical challenge, since these particles
are abundant in number but have negligible mass. Several methods for
particle-phase characterization have been recently developed to better
detect and infer more accurately the sources and fates of sub-100 nm
particles, but a detailed comparison of different approaches is missing.
Here we report on the chemical composition of secondary organic aerosol
(SOA) nanoparticles from experimental studies of α-pinene ozonolysis
at −50, −30, and −10 ∘C and intercompare the results measured by different
techniques. [...]

Measurement of the collision rate coefficients between atmospheric ions and multiply charged aerosol particles in the CERN CLOUD chamber
/ Pfeifer, Joschka (CERN ; Frankfurt U.) ; Mahfouz, Naser G A (Carnegie Mellon U. ; Princeton U.) ; Schulze, Benjamin C (Caltech) ; Mathot, Serge (CERN) ; Stolzenburg, Dominik (Helsinki U.) ; Baalbaki, Rima (Helsinki U.) ; Brasseur, Zoé (Helsinki U.) ; Caudillo, Lucia (Frankfurt U., FIAS ; Frankfurt U.) ; Dada, Lubna (PSI, Villigen) ; Granzin, Manuel (Frankfurt U., FIAS ; Frankfurt U.) et al.
Aerosol particles have an important role in Earth's
radiation balance and climate, both directly and indirectly through
aerosol–cloud interactions. Most aerosol particles in the atmosphere are
weakly charged, affecting both their collision rates with ions and neutral
molecules, as well as the rates by which they are scavenged by other aerosol
particles and cloud droplets. [...]

Iodine oxoacids enhance nucleation of sulfuric acid particles in the atmosphere
/ He, Xu-Cheng (Helsinki U. ; Carnegie Mellon U. ; Helsinki Inst. of Phys.) ; Simon, Mario (Frankfurt U., FIAS ; Frankfurt U.) ; Iyer, Siddharth (Tampere U. of Tech.) ; Xie, Hong-Bin (Shanghai Jiao Tong U.) ; Rörup, Birte (Helsinki U.) ; Shen, Jiali (Helsinki U.) ; Finkenzeller, Henning (Colorado U. ; Colorado U., CIRES) ; Stolzenburg, Dominik (Helsinki U. ; Vienna U.) ; Zhang, Rongjie (Shanghai Jiao Tong U.) ; Baccarini, Andrea (PSI, Villigen ; Ecole Polytechnique, Lausanne) et al.
The main nucleating vapor in the atmosphere is thought to be sulfuric acid (H2SO4), stabilized by ammonia (NH3). However, in marine and polar regions, NH3 is generally low, and H2SO4 is frequently found together with iodine oxoacids [HIOx, i.e., iodic acid (HIO3) and iodous acid (HIO2)]. [...]

NO at low concentration can enhance the formation of highly oxygenated biogenic molecules in the atmosphere

The interaction between nitrogen monoxide (NO) and organic peroxy radicals (RO$_{2}$) greatly impacts the formation of highly oxygenated organic molecules (HOM), the key precursors of secondary organic aerosols. It has been thought that HOM production can be significantly suppressed by NO even at low concentrations. [...]

AbstractIodine is a reactive trace element in atmospheric chemistry that destroys ozone and nucleates particles. Iodine emissions have tripled since 1950 and are projected to keep increasing with rising O3 surface concentrations. [...]

High Gas-Phase Methanesulfonic Acid Production in the OH-Initiated Oxidation of Dimethyl Sulfide at Low Temperatures
/ Shen, Jiali ; Scholz, Wiebke ; He, Xu-Cheng ; Zhou, Putian ; Marie, Guillaume ; Wang, Mingyi ; Marten, Ruby ; Surdu, Mihnea ; Rörup, Birte ; Baalbaki, Rima et al.
Dimethyl sulfide (DMS) influences climate via cloud condensation nuclei (CCN) formation resulting from its oxidation products (mainly
methanesulfonic acid, MSA, and sulfuric acid, H2SO4). Despite their importance,
accurate prediction of MSA and H2SO4 from DMS oxidation remains
challenging. [...]
