Journal ArticleDOI
An overview of ACE-Asia: Strategies for quantifying the relationships between Asian aerosols and their climatic impacts
Barry J. Huebert,Timothy S. Bates,Philip B. Russell,Guangyu Shi,Young-Joon Kim,Kimitaka Kawamura,Greg Carmichael,Teruyuki Nakajima +7 more
TL;DR: The International Global Atmospheric Chemistry Program (IGAC) has conducted a series of Aerosol Characterization Experiments (ACE) that integrate in situ measurements, satellite observations, and models to reduce the uncertainty in calculations of the climate forcing due to aerosol particles as discussed by the authors.
Journal ArticleDOI
Seasonal changes in the distribution of dicarboxylic acids in the urban atmosphere
TL;DR: In this paper, low molecular weight dicarboxylic acids have been studied in the urban aerosol samples collected from Tokyo atmosphere in 1988-1989, by using a capillary GC and GC-MS method employing a dibutyl ester derivatization technique.
Journal ArticleDOI
Motor exhaust emissions as a primary source for dicarboxylic acids in Los Angeles ambient air
TL;DR: In this paper, low molecular weight dicarboxylic acids (C/sub 2/-c/sub 10/) were analyzed in Los Angeles air and auto exhaust, as well as greenhouse air, soil, dust, and bog sediment samples, as dibutyl esters by gas chromatography and gas chromalysis-mass spectrometry with fused silica capillary columns.
Journal ArticleDOI
Critical assessment of the current state of scientific knowledge, terminology, and research needs concerning the role of organic aerosols in the atmosphere, climate, and global change

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors discuss and prioritizes issues related to organic aerosols and their effects on atmospheric processes and climate, providing a basis for future activities in the field.
Journal ArticleDOI
Source and reaction pathways of dicarboxylic acids, ketoacids and dicarbonyls in arctic aerosols: One year of observations
TL;DR: In this paper, normal saturated (C 2 -C 11 ) and unsaturated (C 4 -C 5, C 8 ) dicarboxylic acids were measured in arctic aerosol samples collected weekly at Alert, Canada in 1987-1988.
