Role of organics in particle nucleation: From the lab to global model
نویسندگان
چکیده
The role of oxidized organic compounds in the process of new particle formation in the atmosphere is poorly known. Here we used the ultraclean and most sophisticated CLOUD chamber to investigate systematically particle formation in the presence of sulfuric acid and oxidized organics. We varied independently the concentrations of both of these components. In addition, nucleation was observed without and in the presence of ionic compounds. From the results a new parameterized description of nucleation was derived for global climate model simulations.

Evidence for the role of organics in aerosol particle formation under atmospheric conditions.
New particle formation in the atmosphere is an important parameter in governing the radiative forcing of atmospheric aerosols. However, detailed nucleation mechanisms remain ambiguous, as laboratory data have so far not been successful in explaining atmospheric nucleation. We investigated the formation of new particles in a smog chamber simulating the photochemical formation of H(2)SO(4) and or...
متن کاملThe effect of preparation method and presence of impurity on structural properties and morphology of iron oxide
In this paper, the effect of the structural properties and morphology of iron oxide product, have been studied in co-precipitation and hydrothermal methods. Also, the effect of adding CCl4 impurities and final annealing of the materials is taken into account. The more homogeneous particle size in hydrothermal method has been explained by the effect of adding CCl4 as impurities to prevent the co...
متن کاملApplying the Condensation Particle Counter Battery (CPCB) to study the water-affinity of freshly-formed 2–9 nm particles in boreal forest
Measurements on the composition of nanometersized atmospheric particles are the key to understand which vapors participate in the secondary aerosol formation processes. Knowledge on these processes is crucial in assessing the climatic effects of secondary aerosol formation. We present data of >2 nm particle concentrations and their water-affinity measured with the Condensation Particle Counter ...
متن کاملAdsorption of organic molecules may explain growth of newly nucleated clusters and new particle formation
[1] New particle formation consists of homogeneous nucleation of thermodynamically stable clusters followed by growth of these clusters to a detectable size. For new particle formation to take place, these clusters need to grow sufficiently fast to escape coagulation with preexisting particles. Previous studies indicated that condensation of low-volatility organic vapor may play an important ro...
متن کاملNon-linear stochastic inversion of regional Bouguer anomalies by means of Particle Swarm Optimization: Application to the Zagros Mountains
Estimating the lateral depth variations of the Earth’s crust from gravity data is a non-linear ill-posed problem. The ill-posedness of the problem is due to the presence of noise in the data, and also the non-uniqueness of the problem. Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) is a stochastic population-based optimizer, originally inspired by the social behavior of fish schools and bird flocks. PSO is ...
