Reformulating atmospheric aerosol thermodynamics and hygroscopic growth into fog, haze and clouds
Modeling atmospheric aerosol and cloud microphysics is rather complex, even if chemical and thermodynamical equilibrium is assumed. We show, however, that the thermodynamics can be considerably simplified by reformulating equilibrium to consistently include water, and transform laboratory-based concepts to atmospheric conditions. We generalize the thermodynamic principles that explain hydration...

متن کاملJovian Clouds and Haze
At wavelengths from the near-ultraviolet (0.2 μm) to the infrared (5 μm) Jupiter’s appearance is dominated by contrasts produced by clouds and haze. It is important to understand the distribution and optical and physical properties of cloud and haze particles because they play a major role in the radiative heat budget, and they can tell us about atmospheric processes such as stratospheric circu...
متن کاملHygroscopic growth and critical supersaturations for mixed aerosol particles of inorganic and organic compounds of atmospheric relevance
The organic fraction of atmospheric aerosols contains a multitude of compounds and usually only a small fraction can be identified and quantified. However, a limited number of representative organic compounds can be used to describe the water-soluble organic fraction. In this work, initiated within the EU 5FP project SMOCC, four mixtures containing various amounts of inorganic salts (ammonium s...
متن کاملCalibration of LACIS as a CCN detector and its use in measuring activation and hygroscopic growth of atmospheric aerosol particles
A calibration for LACIS (Leipzig Aerosol Cloud Interaction Simulator) for its use as a CCN (cloud condensation nuclei) detector has been developed. For this purpose, sodium chloride and ammonium sulfate particles of known sizes were generated and their grown sizes were detected at the LACIS outlet. From these signals, the effective critical super-saturation was derived as a function of the LACI...
