Growth of newly formed particles and formation of cloud condensation nuclei

Lead Institution
Washington University in St. Louis
Principal Investigator
Jian Wang
Project type
FICUS ARM Research
New particle formation (NPF) in the atmosphere strongly influences the concentration of atmospheric aerosol particles, and therefore their impact on clouds and climate. Model simulations show that…

Aerosol properties and processes in remote marine environment

Lead Institution
Washington University in St. Louis
Principal Investigator
Jian Wang
Project type
Large-Scale EMSL Research
With their extensive coverage, low clouds greatly impact global climate. Presently, low clouds are poorly represented in global climate models (GCMs), and the response of low clouds to changes in…

Mapping the Role of Semivolatile Organics in Aerosol Growth Dynamics

Lead Institution
Pacific Northwest National Laboratory
Principal Investigator
Rahul Zaveri
Project type
Large-Scale EMSL Research
Recent theoretical and laboratory studies have revealed that the timescales of secondary organic aerosol (SOA) partitioning and the associated aerosol growth kinetics depend on the complex interplay…

Aerosol properties and processes in remote marine environment

Lead Institution
Washington University in St. Louis
Principal Investigator
Jian Wang
Project type
Large-Scale EMSL Research
With their extensive coverage, marine low clouds greatly impact Earth's climate. The response of marine low clouds to changes in atmospheric aerosols remains a major source of uncertainty in…

Chemical Imaging of Particles from TRACER field study

Lead Institution
Washington University in St. Louis
Principal Investigator
Rajan Chakrabarty
Project type
Large-Scale EMSL Research
This project will provide a physico-chemical description of individual atmospheric particles collected during the TRACER campaign, during which we will conduct systematic studies of composition and…

Secondary Organic Aerosol Formation Mechanisms and Growth Dynamics

Lead Institution
Pacific Northwest National Laboratory
Principal Investigator
Rahul Zaveri
Project type
Large-Scale EMSL Research
Recent theoretical and laboratory studies have revealed that the timescales of secondary organic aerosol (SOA) partitioning and the associated aerosol size distribution growth dynamics depend on the…
