Laboratory and field evaluation of the Aerosol Dynamics Inc. concentrator (ADIc) for aerosol mass spectrometry [PDF]
An air-to-air ultrafine particle concentrator (Aerosol Dynamics Inc. concentrator; ADIc) has been designed to enhance online chemical characterization of ambient aerosols using aerosol mass spectrometry.

Administration of medications via aerosolization is potentially an ideal strategy to treat airway diseases. This delivery method ensures high concentrations of the medication in the targeted tissues, the airways, with generally lower systemic absorption and systemic adverse effects.

We report the dynamics and control of the orientational and positional order of ensembles of gold nanorods suspended in air at standard temperature and pressure using externally applied electric fields, demonstrating an active aerosol. Light filter, valve and gradient responses are shown, establishing active aerosols as a unique type of optical element

Evaluation of Multiangle Absorption Photometry for Measuring Aerosol Light Absorption [PDF]
A new multiangle absorption photometer for the measurement of aerosol light absorption was recently introduced that builds on the simultaneous measurement of radiation transmitted through and scattered back from a particle-loaded fiber filter at multiple

Studies of Aerosol Composition and Hygroscopicity [PDF]
Atmospheric aerosols have significant impacts on human health, regional visibility, and the radiative energy balance of Earth, but there remain many uncertainties about their sources and evolution in the atmosphere, as well as the details and magnitude ...

Aerosol modeling over Europe: 2. Interannual variability of aerosol shortwave direct radiative forcing [PDF]
Aerosol distribution over Europe and its direct radiative forcing have been simulated with a regional atmosphere-chemistry model and an off-line radiation transfer model. Primary and secondary organic and inorganic aerosols have been considered.

A Review of More than 20 Years of Aerosol Observation at the High Altitude Research Station Jungfraujoch, Switzerland (3580 m asl) [PDF]
Among the worldwide existing long-term aerosol monitoring sites, the Jungfraujoch (JFJ) belongs to the category where both free tropospheric (FT) conditions and influence from planetary boundary layer (PBL) injections can be observed.

Black carbon contribution to the aerosol phase and its scavenged fraction in mixed phase clouds at the high Alpine site Jungfraujoch (3580m asl) [PDF]
The mass fraction of black carbon (BC) in the atmospheric aerosol and its mixing state are important for the direct aerosol climate effect. These properties also determine if BC is incorporated into cloud hydrometeors (i.e. droplets and ice crystals) and

The Reno Aerosol Optics Study: An evaluation of aerosol absorption measurement methods [PDF]
The Reno Aerosol Optics Study (RAOS) was designed and conducted to compare the performance of many existing and new instruments for the in situ measurement of aerosol optical properties with a focus on the determination of aerosol light absorption. For
