Probing atmospheric chemistry of aerosols to gain insights into cloud condensation
behavior


EMSL Project ID
30486

Abstract

This proposal focuses on performing
off-line complementary measurements of single particles in an effort to better understand single
particle chemistry, morphology, metal speciation, CCN ability, and how these properties vary
spatially and temporally. These measurements will assist in understanding real-time aerosol
measurements made by the Prather group with an aerosol time-of-flight mass spectrometer.
