  1. 1. Investigating parameters governing liquid-phase cloud activation of atmospheric particles

    Författare :Maryam Dalirian; Ilona Riipinen; Ottmar Möhler; Stockholms universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; CCN activation; surface tension; coated aerosols; black carbon; Applied Environmental Science; tillämpad miljövetenskap;

    Sammanfattning : Aerosol-cloud interactions are one of the main sources of uncertainties in modeling and predicting the Earth’s climate. To overcome this uncertainty, we need to improve the understanding about the processes and parameters defining how aerosol particles turn into cloud condensation nuclei (CCN) or ice nuclei (IN) to produce cloud droplets or ice crystals.

  3. 2. Black Death - Blue Skies - White Clouds : Water Vapour Uptake of Particles Produced from Traffic Exhaust and their Effect on Climate

    Författare :Cerina Wittbom; MERGE: ModElling the Regional and Global Earth system; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; CCN ACTIVATION; Soot; water vapour; climate; SOA; Traffic emission; Fysicumarkivet A:2017:Wittbom;

    Sammanfattning : Aerosol particles are everywhere in the air around us, regardless of whether you are in a busy city or in the serene Arctic. Airborne particles can be produced naturally or anthropogenically, and their properties changes during the time they spend in the atmosphere. LÄS MER

  4. 3. On the liquid-phase cloud activation of insoluble and slightly soluble particles

    Författare :Maryam Dalirian; Stockholms universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES;

    Sammanfattning : Aerosol-cloud interactions are among the largest sources of uncertainty in understanding climate change and predictions of the future climate. Besides the physical dimensions of aerosol particles, their water-solubility and surface tension are the key properties needed to describe their potential to act as cloud condensation nuclei (CCN).

  5. 4. Modelling the effects of organic aerosol phase partitioning processes on cloud formation

    Författare :Samuel Joseph Lowe; Ilona Riipinen; Daniel Partridge; Harri Kokkola; Stockholms universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Cloud droplet activation; organic aerosol; cloud parcel modelling; Köhler theory; Sensitivity and Uncertainty analysis; Applied Environmental Science; tillämpad miljövetenskap;

    Sammanfattning : Atmospheric aerosols particles may act as cloud condensation nuclei (CCN) that provide sites for condensation of water vapour for the formation of cloud droplets, called cloud droplet activation. Whether aerosol particles are CCN is determined by their size, composition and the ambient humidity. LÄS MER

  7. 5. Cloud Droplet Forming Potential of Ageing Soot and Surfactant Particles : Laboratory research and Köhler modelling

    Författare :Cerina Wittbom; MERGE: ModElling the Regional and Global Earth system; []
    Nyckelord :Hygroscopicity; CCN; BC;

    Sammanfattning : Aerosol particles affect Earth’s climate system by scattering and absorbing light. The perturbation of the climate system caused by a change in aerosol configuration due to anthropogenic emissions has recently improved. LÄS MER
