TL;DR: In this paper, the scattering and absorption coefficients of dry aerosol particles with diameters up to 10 μm (PM 10 ) were determined with a three-wavelength integrating nephelometer and with a photoacoustic spectrometer, respectively.

TL;DR: The Dutch-Finnish Ozone Monitoring Instrument (OMI) on board the NASA EOS Aura spacecraft is a nadir viewing spectrometer that measures solar reflected and backscattered light in a selected range of the ultraviolet and visible spectrum as discussed by the authors.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors measured and characterized CCN properties during the CAREBeijing-2006 campaign at a regional site south of the megacity of Beijing, China, and derived the hygroscopicity parameters derived from the measurements were consistent with chemical composition data recorded by an aerosol mass spectrometer (AMS) and thermo-optical measurements of apparent elemental and organic carbon (EC and OC).

TL;DR: In this article, the authors identify the pathways and mechanisms of transport of black carbon aerosol to the Arctic from the Asian continent using these data, and demonstrate that the impact of biomass burning (BB) emitted from East Asia on the Arctic was very limited in both spring and summer.

TL;DR: In this paper, detailed atmospheric gas/aerosol composition data acquired during the 2008 NASA ARCTAS (Arctic Research of the Composition of the Troposphere from Aircraft and Satellites) airborne campaign was analyzed.
