RISA Study of the Relationship of Chemical Composition and Humidity to Light Scattering by Aerosols
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A chemically pure aerosol of defined size distribution exhibits a unique growth pattern due to adsorption of water vapor, and to hygroscopic and/or deliquescence effects which are dependent upon relative humidity and which ...
Laboratory Studies and Numerical Simulations of Cloud Droplet Formation under Realistic Supersaturation Conditions
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: In this paper, a new device is introduced to study the formation and growth of cloud droplets under near-atmospheric supersaturations. The new device, called the Leipzig Aerosol Cloud Interaction Simulator (LACIS), is based ...
Quantifying and Minimizing Uncertainty of Climate Forcing by Anthropogenic Aerosols
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Anthropogenic aerosols are composed of a variety of aerosol types and components including water-soluble inorganic species (e.g., sulfate, nitrate, ammonium), condensed organic species, elemental or black carbon, and mineral ...
Performance Characteristics of a High-Sensitivity, Three-Wavelength, Total Scatter/Backscatter Nephelometer
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: As designed in the 1940s by Beuttell and Brewer, the integrating nephelometer offers a direct method of measuring light scattering by airborne particles without assumptions about particle composition, shape, or physical ...
Results of a Comprehensive Atmospheric Aerosol-Radiation Experiment in the Southwestern United States. Part II: Radiation Flux Measurements and Theoretical Interpretation
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The experimental results in Part I are used in the theoretical interpretation of the radiation flux measurements which were taken with an aircraft. The absorption term of the complex refractive index of aerosols is estimated ...
