Organic aerosol and global climate modelling: a review

TL;DR: In this article, the authors reviewed existing knowledge with regard to organic aerosol (OA) of importance for global climate modelling and defined critical gaps needed to reduce the involved uncertainties, and synthesized the information to provide a continuous analysis of the flow from the emitted material to the atmosphere up to the point of the climate impact of the produced organic aerosols.

A review of biomass burning emissions part III: intensive optical properties of biomass burning particles

TL;DR: In this article, the authors review and discuss the literature concerning the measurement of smoke particle size, chemistry, thermodynamic properties, and emission factors, and show that very large differences in measured particle properties have appeared in the literature, in particular with regards to particle carbon budgets.

Water-soluble organics in atmospheric particles: A critical review of the literature and application of thermodynamics to identify candidate compounds

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors identify specific compounds that are likely to contribute to the water-soluble fraction by juxtaposing observations regarding the extraction characteristics and the molecular composition of atmospheric particulate organics with compound-specific solubility and condensibility for a wide variety of organics.

Measuring and simulating particulate organics in the atmosphere: problems and prospects

TL;DR: A review of the current state of organic aerosol sampling, analysis, and simulation, examines the limitations of current technology, and presents prospects for the future is provided in this article, where the emphasis is on distilling findings from recent atmospheric, smog chamber, and theoretical studies to provide a coherent picture of what has been accomplished, especially during the last five years.

Quantification of urban organic aerosols at a molecular level: Identification, abundance and seasonal variation

TL;DR: In this paper, high-resolution gas chromatography and mass spectrometers were used to identify primary organic aerosol constituents, revealing an annual pattern with high winter and low summer concentrations.

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.

Sources of fine organic aerosol. 4. Particulate abrasion products from leaf surfaces of urban plants

TL;DR: In this article, green and dead leaves from 62 plant species characteristic of the Los Angeles area were harvested and composited according to the actual leaf mass distribution for that area. Fine particles (d_p ≤ 2 µm) shed from the leaf surfaces were extracted and analyzed using gas chromatography/mass spectrometry.
