Experimental Determination of Secondary Organic Aerosol Production from Biomass Combustion

Calculations of incremental secondary organic aerosol reactivity.

The incremental secondary organic aerosol reactivity (ISOAR) of a species j is defined as the relative incremental change in secondary organic aerosol (SOA) formed per relative incremental change in the amount of species jemitted. The California Institute of Technology three-dimensional air quality model is used in conjunction with the Caltech Atmospheric Chemistry Mechanism (CACM) and the Mode...

Secondary organic aerosol origin in an urban environment: influence of biogenic and fuel combustion precursors.

Source contributions of organic aerosol (OA) are still not fully understood, especially in terms of quantitative distinction between secondary OA formed from anthropogenic precursors vs. that formed from natural precursors. In order to investigate the OA origin, a field campaign was carried out in Barcelona in summer 2013, including two periods characterized by low and high traffic conditions. ...

Modeling Secondary Organic Aerosol Formation From Emissions of Combustion Sources

Semi-volatile and reactive primary organic aerosols are modeled on a global scale using the GISS GCM II' “unified” climate model. We employ the volatility basis set framework to simulate emissions, chemical reactions and phase partitioning of primary and secondary organic aerosol (POA and SOA). The model also incorporates the emissions and reactions of intermediate volatility organic compounds ...
