TL;DR: In this article, the authors measured the thermodynamics for the growth and evaporation of small cluster ions containing H2SO4 and H2O, and incorporated these data into a kinetic aerosol model to yield quantitative predictions of ion-induced nucleation for atmospheric conditions.

TL;DR: In this article, a cavity ring down (CRD) system was used for measurement of the optical extinction of aerosol, and the system is tested with well-characterized laboratory generated aerosols, and measured extinctions agree within 5% of predictions by Mie theory.

TL;DR: The first-order rate coefficients for loss of SO3 by reaction with H2O and D2O are given by kI(s-1) = (2.26 ± 0.85) × 10-43T exp((6544 ± 106)/T)[H2O]2 and (9.45 ± 2

TL;DR: In this paper, a coupled chemical aerosol model was used to derive model parameters assuming single component homogeneous nucleation of OIO in a 70 L Teflon reactor with new particles detected using an Ultrafine Condensation Particle Counter, UCPC.

TL;DR: Using the Lagrangian particle dispersion model FLEXPART in combination with gas phase tracer compounds, local (urban), regional (NE U.S. urban corridor of Washington, D.C., New York; and Boston), and distant (midwest industries and North American forest fires) sources were identified using the second New England Air Quality Study (NEAQS 2004) to determine the source of the aerosol in the region and how sources and aging processes affect submicrometer aerosol chemical composition and optical properties as discussed by the authors.
