TL;DR: It is found that a direct pathway leads from several biogenic VOCs, such as monoterpenes, to the formation of large amounts of extremely low-volatility vapours, helping to explain the discrepancy between the observed atmospheric burden of secondary organic aerosol and that reported by many model studies.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: Three separate size regimes below 2-nm diameter are identified that build up a physically, chemically, and dynamically consistent framework on atmospheric nucleation—more specifically, aerosol formation via neutral pathways.
Journal ArticleDOI
The effect of physical and chemical aerosol properties on warm cloud droplet activation
Gordon McFiggans,Paulo Artaxo,Urs Baltensperger,Hugh Coe,Maria Cristina Facchini,Graham Feingold,Sandro Fuzzi,Martin Gysel,Martin Gysel,Ari Laaksonen,Ulrike Lohmann,Thomas F. Mentel,Daniel M. Murphy,Colin D. O'Dowd,Jefferson R. Snider,Ernest Weingartner +15 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors explored the effects that the composition and properties of atmospheric aerosol can have on the activation of droplets in warm clouds, so potentially influencing the magnitude of the indirect effect.
Journal ArticleDOI
Aging of Organic Aerosol: Bridging the Gap Between Laboratory and Field Studies
TL;DR: Data suggest that although matrix effects identified in the laboratory have taken a step toward reconciling laboratory-field disagreements, further work is needed to understand the actual aging rates of organics in ambient particles.
Journal ArticleDOI
Highly Oxygenated Organic Molecules (HOM) from Gas-Phase Autoxidation Involving Peroxy Radicals: A Key Contributor to Atmospheric Aerosol
F. Bianchi,Theo Kurtén,Matthieu Riva,Claudia Mohr,Matti P. Rissanen,Pontus Roldin,Torsten Berndt,John D. Crounse,Paul O. Wennberg,Thomas F.

TL;DR: This Review defines HOM and describes the currently available techniques for their identification/quantification, followed by a summary of the current knowledge on their formation mechanisms and physicochemical properties.
