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. [...]

Evaporation of sulfate aerosols at low relative humidity
/ Tsagkogeorgas, Georgios (TROPOS, Leibniz) ; Roldin, Pontus (Helsinki U. ; Lund U.) ; Duplissy, Jonathan (Helsinki U. ; Helsinki Inst. of Phys.) ; Rondo, Linda (Goethe U., Frankfurt (main)) ; Tröstl, Jasmin (PSI, Villigen) ; Slowik, Jay G (PSI, Villigen) ; Ehrhart, Sebastian (Goethe U., Frankfurt (main)) ; Franchin, Alessandro (Helsinki U.) ; Kürten, Andreas (Goethe U., Frankfurt (main)) ; Amorim, Antonio (Lisbon, CENTRA) et al.
Evaporation of sulfuric acid from particles can be important in the atmospheres of Earth and Venus. However, the equilibrium constant for the dissociation of H2SO4 to bisulfate ions, which is the one of the fundamental parameters controlling the evaporation of sulfur particles, is not well constrained.

Intercomparison study and optical asphericity measurements of small ice particles in the CERN CLOUD experiment

Optical probes are frequently used for the detection of microphysical cloud particle properties such as liquid and ice phase, size and morphology. These properties can eventually influence the angular light scattering properties of cirrus clouds as well as the growth and accretion mechanisms of single cloud particles. [...]

Observation of viscosity transition in α-pinene secondary organic aerosol
/ Järvinen, Emma (KIT, Karlsruhe) ; Ignatius, Karoliina (TROPOS, Leibniz) ; Nichman, Leonid (Manchester U.) ; Kristensen, Thomas B (TROPOS, Leibniz) ; Fuchs, Claudia (PSI, Villigen) ; Hoyle, Christopher R (PSI, Villigen ; Davos Observ.) ; Höppel, Niko (KIT, Karlsruhe) ; Corbin, Joel C (PSI, Villigen) ; Craven, Jill (Caltech) ; Duplissy, Jonathan (Helsinki U.) et al.
Under certain conditions, secondary organic aerosol (SOA) particles can exist in the atmosphere in an amorphous solid or semi-solid state. To determine their relevance to processes such as ice nucleation or chemistry occurring within particles requires knowledge of the temperature and relative humidity (RH) range for SOA to exist in these states.

Heterogeneous ice nucleation of viscous secondary organic aerosol produced from ozonolysis of α-pinene

There are strong indications that particles containing secondary organic aerosol (SOA) exhibit amorphous solid or semi-solid phase states in the atmosphere. This may facilitate heterogeneous ice nucleation and thus influence cloud properties. [...]

Phase transition observations and discrimination of small cloud particles by light polarization in expansion chamber experiments
/ Nichman, Leonid (Manchester U.) ; Fuchs, Claudia (PSI, Villigen) ; Järvinen, Emma (KIT, Karlsruhe) ; Ignatius, Karoliina (TROPOS, Leibniz) ; Höppel, Niko Florian (KIT, Karlsruhe) ; Dias, Antonio (CERN) ; Heinritzi, Martin (Goethe U., Frankfurt (main)) ; Simon, Mario (Goethe U., Frankfurt (main)) ; Tröstl, Jasmin (PSI, Villigen) ; Wagner, Andrea Christine (Goethe U., Frankfurt (main)) et al.
Cloud microphysical processes involving the ice phase in tropospheric clouds are among the major uncertainties in cloud formation, weather, and general circulation models. The detection of aerosol particles, liquid droplets, and ice crystals, especially in the small cloud particle-size range below 50 μm, remains challenging in mixed phase, often unstable environments.

Atmospheric aerosols and their effect on clouds are thought to be important for anthropogenic radiative forcing of the climate, yet remain poorly understood. Globally, around half of cloud condensation nuclei originate from nucleation of atmospheric vapours. [...]

Atmospheric new-particle formation affects climate and is one of the least understood atmospheric aerosol processes. The complexity and variability of the atmosphere has hindered elucidation of the fundamental mechanism of new-particle formation from gaseous precursors. [...]
