Constraining the Contribution of Organic Acids and AMS m/z 44 to the Organic Aerosol Budget: On the Importance of Meteorology, Aerosol Hygroscopicity, and Region
[1] Airborne measurements in regions of varying meteo‐ rology and pollution are used to quantify the contribution of organic acids and a mass spectral marker for oxygenated aerosols, m/z 44, to the total organic aerosol budget. Organic acids and m/z 44 separately are shown to exhibit their highest organic mass fractions in the vicinity of clouds. The contribution of such oxygenated species is s...
متن کاملHow Important is Organic Aerosol Hygroscopicity to Aerosol Indirect Forcing?
Organics are among the most abundant aerosol components in the atmosphere. However, there are still large uncertainties with emissions of primary organic aerosol (POA) and volatile organic compounds (VOCs) (precursor gases of secondary organic aerosol, SOA), formation of SOA, and chemical and physical properties (e.g., hygroscopicity) of POA and SOA. All these may have significant impacts on ae...
متن کاملIsoprene forms secondary organic aerosol through cloud processing: model simulations.
Isoprene accounts for more than half of non-methane volatile organics globally. Despite extensive experimentation, homogeneous formation of secondary organic aerosol (SOA) from isoprene remains unproven. Herein, an incloud process is identified in which isoprene produces SOA. Interstitial oxidation of isoprene produces water-soluble aldehydes that react in cloud droplets to form organic acids. ...
متن کاملModeling of secondary organic aerosol yields from laboratory chamber data
Laboratory chamber data serve as the basis for constraining models of secondary organic aerosol (SOA) formation. Current models fall into three categories: empirical two-product (Odum), product-specific, and volatility basis set. The product-specific and volatility basis set models are applied here to represent laboratory data on the ozonolysis of α-pinene under dry, dark, and low-NOx condition...
متن کاملIn-cloud oxalate formation in the global troposphere: a 3-D modeling study
Organic acids attract increasing attention as contributors to atmospheric acidity, secondary organic aerosol mass and aerosol hygroscopicity. Oxalic acid is globally the most abundant dicarboxylic acid, formed via chemical oxidation of gas-phase precursors in the aqueous phase of aerosols and droplets. Its lifecycle and atmospheric global distribution remain highly uncertain and are the focus o...
