Aerosol indirect effects -- general circulation model intercomparison and evaluation with satellite data
TL;DR: In this article, the authors compute statistical relationships between aerosol optical depth (Ta) and various cloud and radiation quantities in a manner that is consistent between the models and the satellite data.
Rapid aerosol particle growth and increase of cloud condensation nucleus activity by secondary aerosol formation and condensation: A case study for regional air pollution in northeastern China
Alfred Wiedensohler,Yafang Cheng,Andreas Nowak,Birgit Wehner,Peggy Achtert,M. Berghof,Wolfram Birmili,Zhijun Wu,Min Hu,Tong Zhu,Nobuyuki Takegawa,Kazuyuki Kita,Yoshiko Kondo,S. Lou,S. Lou,Andreas Hofzumahaus,Frank Holland,Andreas Wahner,Sachin S. Gunthe,Diana Rose,Hang Su,Ulrich Pöschl +21 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a new particle formation event in a highly polluted air mass at a regional site south of the megacity Beijing and its impact on the abundance and properties of cloud condensation nuclei (CCN) was investigated.
New particle formation in forests inhibited by isoprene emissions
Jürgen Wildt,Astrid Kiendler-Scharr,Miikka Dal Maso,Thorsten Hohaus,Einhard Kleist,Thomas F. Mentel,Ralf Tillmann,R. Uerlings,Andreas Wahner +8 more
TL;DR: Evidence is presented from simulation experiments conducted in a plant chamber that isoprene can significantly inhibit new particle formation, and the process leading to the observed decrease in particle number concentration is linked to the high reactivity of isopane with the hydroxyl radical (OH).

Characterization of parameters influencing the spatio-temporal variability of urban particle number size distributions in four European cities
Clemens von Bismarck-Osten,Wolfram Birmili,Matthias Ketzel,Andreas Massling,Tuukka Petäjä,Stephan Weber +5 more
TL;DR: In this paper, three years of aerosol measurements from four European cities were analyzed to identify and quantify the parameters influencing the particle number size distribution (NSD) at different measurement sites (Copenhagen, Helsinki, Leipzig, London).

TL;DR: A unifying model framework describing the atmospheric evolution of OA that is constrained by high–time-resolution measurements of its composition, volatility, and oxidation state is presented, which can serve as a basis for improving parameterizations in regional and global models.

Effect of Climate Change on Air Quality
TL;DR: This article found that climate change alone will increase summertime surface ozone in polluted regions by 1-10 ppb over the coming decades, with the largest effects in urban areas and during pollution episodes.
