Journal ArticleDOI

Formation and growth rates of ultrafine atmospheric particles: a review of observations

TL;DR: In this paper, the formation rate of 3-nm particles is often in the range 0.01-10 cm −3 s −1 in the boundary layer in urban areas and in coastal areas and industrial plumes.
Journal ArticleDOI

A review of atmospheric aerosol measurements

TL;DR: A review of recent developments in atmospheric aerosol measurements can be found in this article, which focuses on measurements of aerosol integral properties (total number concentration, CCN concentration, optical coefficients, etc.), aerosol physical chemical properties (density, refractive index, equilibrium water content, etc.).
Journal ArticleDOI

Variability in morphology, hygroscopicity, and optical properties of soot aerosols during atmospheric processing

TL;DR: Experimental studies are presented to show that soot particles acquire a large mass fraction of sulfuric acid during atmospheric aging, considerably altering their properties, representing an important mechanism of atmospheric aging.
Journal ArticleDOI

Mobility particle size spectrometers: harmonization of technical standards and data structure to facilitate high quality long-term observations of atmospheric particle number size distributions

TL;DR: In this article, the authors compared commercial and custom-made inversion routines to calculate the particle number size distributions from the measured electrical mobility distribution, and concluded that the consistency of these reference instruments to the total particle number concentration was less than 5%.
Journal ArticleDOI

Organics alter hygroscopic behavior of atmospheric particles

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors analyzed concurrent observations of particle chemical composition and water content from a continental nonurban (Grand Canyon) and an urban (Los Angeles) location to determine whether the water content of atmospheric particles is influenced by the presence of organics.
