Top-down and bottom-up aerosol–cloud closure: towards understanding sources of uncertainty in deriving cloud shortwave radiative flux
(Copernicus GmbH, 2017-08-22)
Top-down and bottom-up aerosol-cloud shortwave radiative flux closures were conducted at the Mace Head Atmospheric Research Station in Galway, Ireland, in August 2015. This study is part of the BACCHUS (Impact of Biogenic ...
Marine submicron aerosol gradients, sources and sinks
(Copernicus GmbH, 2016-10-04)
Aerosol principal sources and sinks over eastern North Atlantic waters were studied through the deployment of an aerosol chemistry gradient sampling system. The chemical gradients of primary and secondary aerosol components ...
Submicron ne atlantic marine aerosol chemical composition and abundance: seasonal trends and air mass categorization
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2014-10-18)
Three years of continuous Aerosol Mass Spectrometry measurements at the Mace Head Global Atmosphere Watch research station revealed seasonal patterns in the chemical composition of submicron NE Atlantic marine aerosol as ...
Surface tension prevails over solute effect in organic-influenced cloud droplet activation
(Springer Nature, 2017-06-21)
The spontaneous growth of cloud condensation nuclei (CCN) into cloud droplets under supersaturated water vapour conditions is described by classic Kohler theory(1,2). This spontaneous activation of CCN depends on the ...
Detecting high contributions of primary organic matter to marine aerosol: a case study
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2011-01-01)
Using on-line High-Resolution Aerosol Mass Spectrometry, we report submicron organic marine aerosol plume concentrations peaking at 3.8 mu g m(-3). These concentrations are far greater than previously determined by off-line ...
Bistable effect of organic enrichment on sea spray radiative properties
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2013-12-16)
Primary-produced sea spray aerosol, typically comprising sea-salt, but also enriched with organic matter (OM) in biologically active oceanic regions, impacts the global radiative budget through contributions to aerosol ...
