Cloud microphysics and aerosol indirect effects in the global climate model ECHAM5-HAM [PDF]
, 2007 The double-moment cloud microphysics scheme from ECHAM4 has been coupled to the size-resolved aerosol scheme ECHAM5-HAM. ECHAM5-HAM predicts the aerosol mass and number concentrations and the aerosol mixing state.

Persistence of Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 in Aerosol Suspensions
Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2020 We aerosolized severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 and determined that its dynamic aerosol efficiency surpassed those of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus and Middle East respiratory syndrome. Although we performed experiment only

Update on the Science and Technology of Diesel Particulate Filters
KONA Powder and Particle Journal, 2014 As diesel emission regulations become more stringent, diesel particulate filters (DPFs) have become possibly the most important and complex diesel emission control device. This paper provides an update on the science

Constraining the Atmospheric Composition of the Day-Night Terminators of HD 189733b : Atmospheric Retrieval with Aerosols [PDF]
, 2014 A number of observations have shown that Rayleigh scattering by aerosols dominates the transmission spectrum of HD 189733b at wavelengths shortward of 1 $\mu$m.

Dual-wavelength light-scattering technique for selective detection of volcanic ash particles in the presence of water droplets [PDF]
Atmospheric Measurement Techniques, 2015 A new method is presented in this paper which analyses the scattered light of individual aerosol particles simultaneously at two different wavelengths in order to retrieve information on the particle type.

Use of electrochemical sensors for measurement of air pollution: correcting interference response and validating measurements [PDF]
Atmospheric Measurement Techniques, 2017 The environments in which we live, work, and play are subject to enormous variability in air pollutant concentrations. To adequately characterize air quality (AQ), measurements must be fast (real time), scalable, and reliable (with known accuracy ...

Synthesis of satellite (MODIS), aircraft (ICARTT), and surface (IMPROVE, EPA-AQS, AERONET) aerosol observations over eastern North America to improve MODIS aerosol retrievals and constrain surface aerosol concentrations and sources [PDF]
, 2010 We use an ensemble of satellite (MODIS), aircraft, and ground-based aerosol observations during the ICARTT field campaign over eastern North America in summer 2004 to (1) examine the consistency between different aerosol measurements, (2) evaluate a new ...
