Heated Inlet Sample Conditioning Effects on Remote Dust Monitoring
Under high ambient humidity conditions, photometric mass measurements have been reported to over-estimate mass concentration readings when compared to a reference method. This is largely attributed to water-uptake, resulting in hygroscopic growth of the aerosol particles. When the aerosol particles increase in size, they scatter more light, resulting in higher mass concentration readings by the...
متن کاملReconciliation of measurements of hygroscopic growth and critical supersaturation of aerosol particles in central Germany
Aerosol physical, chemical and hygroscopic properties were measured in a range of airmasses during COPS (Convective and Orographically-induced Precipitation Study) ground-based in June and July of 2007 at the Hornisgrinde mountain site in the Black Forest, Southwest Germany. Non-refractory aerosol composition was measured with an Aerosol Mass Spectrometer, simultaneous to hygroscopic growth fac...
متن کاملOrganic aerosol effects on fog droplet spectra
[1] Organic aerosol alters cloud and fog properties through surface tension and solubility effects. This study characterizes the role of organic compounds in affecting fog droplet number concentration by initializing and comparing detailed particle microphysical simulations with two field campaigns in the Po Valley. The size distribution and chemical composition of aerosol were based on the mea...
متن کاملHygroscopic growth of atmospheric aerosol particles based on lidar, radiosonde, and in situ measurements_ Case studies from the Xinzhou field campaign
Lidar, radiosonde, and ground-based in situ nephelometer measurements made during an intensive field campaign carried out from July to September 2014 at the Xinzhou meteorological station were used to determine the aerosol hygroscopic growth effect in a cloud-capped, well-mixed boundary layer. Aerosol hygroscopic properties at 355 and 532 nmwere examined for two cases with distinct aerosol laye...
متن کاملCloud condensation nuclei activity of fresh primary and aged biomass burning aerosol
We quantify the hygroscopic properties of particles freshly emitted from biomass burning and after several hours of photochemical aging in a smog chamber. Values of the hygroscopicity parameter, κ , were calculated from cloud condensation nuclei (CCN) measurements of emissions from combustion of 12 biomass fuels commonly burned in North American wildfires. Prior to photochemical aging, the κ of...
