A combined particle trap / HTDMA hygroscopicity study of mixed inorganic / organic aerosol particles
Atmospheric aerosols are often mixtures of inorganic and organic material. Organics can represent a large fraction of the total aerosol mass and are comprised of water-soluble and insoluble compounds. Increasing attention was paid in the last decade to the capability of mixed inorganic/organic aerosol particles to take up water (hygroscopicity). We performed hygroscopicity measurements of inter...
متن کاملA single parameter representation of hygroscopic growth and cloud condensation nucleus activity
We present a method to describe the relationship between particle dry diameter and cloud condensation nuclei (CCN) activity using a single hygroscopicity parameter κ . Values of the hygroscopicity parameter are between 0.5 and 1.4 for highly-CCN-active salts such as sodium chloride, between 0.01 and 0.5 for slightly to very hygroscopic organic species, and 0 for nonhygroscopic components. Obser...

1. We agree with the reviewer on this point, therefore we added the following text (Page 5251, line 30). "So far, this interpretation is based on indirect evidence. There are no direct experimental observations of the postulated complex dynamics such as swelling and collapsing of particle veins. Measurement techniques with high spatial resolution in the order of nanometers are needed to confirm...

متن کاملComposition and hygroscopicity of the Los Angeles Aerosol: CalNex
[1] Aircraft-based measurements of aerosol composition, either bulk or single-particle, and both subsaturated and supersaturated hygroscopicity were made in the Los Angeles Basin and its outflows during May 2010 during the CalNex field study. Aerosol composition evolves from source-rich areas in the western Basin to downwind sites in the eastern Basin, evidenced by transition from an external t...
