Using state-of-the-art aerosol and mass-spectrometry techniques, we aim to develop a predictive capacity for the fate of natural and anthropogenic aerosol particles during the atmospheric processing as a function of their concentration, chemical composition, size, and hygroscopicity. These studies are essential to understand the impact of natural and anthropogenic aerosol particles on the regional air quality and global climate change.
Some of the instrumentation used for this project is:
Cloud Condensation Nuclei Counter (CCNC)
Scanning Mobility Particle Sizer (SMPS)
Mass Spectrometer w/ DART Ionization Source
