Surfactants from the gas phase may promote cloud droplet formation.
Clouds, a key component of the climate system, form when water vapor condenses upon atmospheric particulates termed cloud condensation nuclei (CCN). Variations in CCN concentrations can profoundly impact cloud properties, with important effects on local and global climate. Organic matter constitutes a significant fraction of tropospheric aerosol mass, and can influence CCN activity by depressin...
متن کاملOn the relationship among cloud turbulence, droplet formation and drizzle as viewed by Doppler radar, microwave radiometer and lidar
Cloud radar, microwave radiometer, and lidar remote sensing data acquired during the Atlantic Stratocumulus Transition Experiment (ASTEX) are analyzed to address the relationship between (1) drop number concentration and cloud turbulence as represented by vertical velocity and vertical velocity variance and (2) drizzle formation and cloud turbulence. Six cases, each of about 12 hours duration, ...
متن کاملParameterization of cloud droplet formation in global climate models
An aerosol activation parameterization has been developed, based on a generalized representation of aerosol size and composition within the framework of an ascending adiabatic parcel; this allows for parameterizing the activation of chemically complex aerosol with arbitrary size distribution and mixing state. The new parameterization introduces the concept of “population splitting”, in which th...
متن کاملMeasurement of Atmospheric Turbulence
How light and sound propagate through the optically clear atmosphere has been of interest to children, philosophers, scientists, and engineers since antiquity. The quantum leap in our understanding of wave propagation through the turbulent atmosphere, however, came with the pioneering work by Valeryan Tatarskii and collaborators in the 1950’s and 1960’s. Their work enhanced dramatically our abi...
متن کاملGreen tea extract formulation may promote wound healing
Wound repair is a natural reaction to injury, which results in restoration of tissue integrity. In this study the healing effect of green tea extract formulation was investigated on open skin wound of rabbit. Active ingredients were extracted from green tea using water and glycerin (4:1) vehicle. Three cream formulations containing 2, 5 and 10% of green tea extract were prepared in the base. A ...
