TL;DR: In this paper, the mixing properties of the organic aerosol fractions have been investigated theoretically and experimentally with respect to melting and deliquescence, and it was shown that a liquid (or an amorphous solid) is the thermodynamically stable phase even in the absence of water as a solvent.

TL;DR: The Global Space-based Stratospheric Aerosol and Gas Experiment (SAGE) series of instruments was used to provide the input data to the construction of the GloSSAC stratospheric aerosol forcing data set.

TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that small-scale temperature fluctuations related to gravity waves, mechanical turbulence, or other smallscale air motions are required to explain the observed high number densities of ice particles embedded in broad density distributions.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors performed a study of the sensitivity of the product to the major components of the processing algorithm used in the production of SAGE II aerosol extinction measurements and the retrieval process that produces the operational surface area density (SAD).

TL;DR: In this paper, the global atmospheric sulfur budget and its emission dependence have been investigated using the coupled aerosol-chemistry-climate model SOCOL-AER, which includes gaseous and aqueous sulfur chemistry and comprehensive microphysics.
