Implementation of the ISORROPIA-lite aerosol thermodynamics model into the EMAC chemistry climate model (based on MESSy v2.55): implications for aerosol composition and acidity

Athanasios Nenes, Spyros Pandis

This study explores the differences in performance and results by various versions of the ISORROPIA thermodynamic module implemented within the ECHAM/MESSy Atmospheric Chemistry (EMAC) model. Three different versions of the module were used, ISORROPIA II v ...

Aerodynamic Particle Sizer spectrometer (APS) aerosol number concentrations, measured in the Swiss container during MOSAiC 2019/2020

Julia Schmale, Ivo Fabio Beck, Nora Bergner, Lubna Dada

This dataset contains particle number size distributions between 1.06-16.1 μm (aerodynamic diameter) and total concentration averaged to 1 min time resolution, measured with a commercial Aerodynamic Particle Sizer spectrometer (APS model 3321, TSI Incorpor ...

Aerosol-into-liquid capture and detection of atmospheric soluble metals across the gas–liquid interface using Janus-membrane electrodes

Jian Wang, Christian Ludwig, Tianyu Cen, Min Gao

The soluble fraction of atmospheric transition metals is particularly associated with health effects such as reactive oxygen species compared to total metals. However, direct measurements of the soluble fraction are restricted to sampling and detection uni ...

Sources and seasonality of fluorescent aerosols in the Arctic

Julia Schmale, Ivo Fabio Beck, Benjamin Jérémy Laurent Heutte, Nora Bergner, Alireza Moallemi

Aerosol‐cloud interactions play an important role in the Arctic climate but remain poorly understood. Ice nucleating particles (INPs) contribute to the formation of ice crystals at temperatures above ‐38 °C in mixed phase clouds, which are predominant in t ...

Use of lidar aerosol extinction and backscatter coefficients to estimate cloud condensation nuclei (CCN) concentrations in the southeast Atlantic

Athanasios Nenes, Feng Xu

Accurately capturing cloud condensation nuclei (CCN) concentrations is key to understanding the aerosol-cloud interactions that continue to feature the highest uncertainty amongst numerous climate forcings. In situ CCN observations are sparse, and most non ...

Rapid transformation of wildfire emissions to harmful background aerosol

Athanasios Nenes, Spyros Pandis

Wildfires are a significant source of organic aerosol during summer, with major impacts on air quality and climate. However, studies in Europe suggest a surprisingly low (less than 10%) contribution of biomass burning organic aerosol to average summertime ...

Role of sesquiterpenes in biogenic new particle formation

Andrea Baccarini, Imad El Haddad, Lubna Dada, Federico Bianchi

Biogenic vapors form new particles in the atmosphere, affecting global climate. The contributions of monoterpenes and isoprene to new particle formation (NPF) have been extensively studied. However, sesquiterpenes have received little attention despite a p ...

Aerosol microphysics and chemical composition in the central Arctic atmosphere during the MOSAiC expedition

Ivo Fabio Beck, Benjamin Jérémy Laurent Heutte, Nora Bergner, Hélène Paule Angot, Lubna Dada

The Arctic environment is transforming rapidly due to climate change. Aerosols’ abundance and physicochemical characteristics play a crucial, yet uncertain, role in these changes due to their influence on the surface energy budget, and aerosol properties a ...

Seasonal Aerosol Acidity, Liquid Water Content and Their Impact on Fine Urban Aerosol in SE Canada

Athanasios Nenes, Andrea Mario Arangio

This study explores the drivers of aerosol pH and their impact on the inorganic fraction and mass of aerosol in the S.E. Canadian urban environments of Hamilton and Toronto, Ontario. We find that inter-seasonal pH variability is mostly driven by temperatur ...
