• Aerosol Properties and Processes: A Path from Field and Laboratory Measurements to Global Climate Models (2007, background): “…be better explained by either ternary homogeneous nucleation of sulfuric acid, ammonia, and water (Napari et al. 2002a,b); of sulfuric acid, organic acid, and water (Jimenez et al. 2003; Zhang et al. 2004); or ion-induced nucleation of sulfuric acid and water (Lee et al. 2003; Lovejoy et al. 2004).”
• Implementation of a two‐moment bulk microphysics scheme to the WRF model to investigate aerosol‐cloud interaction (2008, background): “[2] Atmospheric aerosols, formed from natural and anthropogenic sources [e.g., Penner et al., 2001; Zhang et al., 2004a], act as cloud condensation nuclei (CCN) and likely affect cloud microphysics and development, including the onset and amount of precipitation, cloud lifetime, albedo, and…”
• Aerosol indirect forcing in a global model with particle nucleation (2008, background): “For example, biogenic iodine oxides (O’ Dowd et al., 2002b), organic species (Zhang et al., 2004), and ammonia (Korhonen et al., 1999) can be important in particle formation.”
• Formation of highly hygroscopic soot aerosols upon internal mixing with sulfuric acid vapor (2009, background): “[Zhang et al., 2004a].”
• Variability in morphology, hygroscopicity, and optical properties of soot aerosols during atmospheric processing (2008, methodology): “The vapor concentration of H2SO4 in the reservoir was determined by using ion-drift–chemical ionization mass spectrometry (21) and ranged from 109 to 1010 molecules cm 3.”
• A criterion for new particle formation in the sulfur-rich Atlanta atmosphere (2005, background): “…stratosphere [Lee et al., 2003; Lovejoy et al., 2004], that the oxidation of organic iodine compounds may be responsible for nucleation over exposed surf zones [Jimenez et al., 2003] and that complexes of sulfuric and aromatic acids reduce the energy barrier for nucleation [Zhang et al., 2004].”
• Increase of cloud droplet size with aerosol optical depth: An observation and modeling study (2008, background): “[32] In the southeast of Texas, oxidation of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) from industrial and transportation sources contributes significantly to formation and growth of aerosols [Zhang et al., 2004; Fan et al., 2006].”
• Effects of aerosol optical properties on deep convective clouds and radiative forcing (2008, background): “High ozone and aerosol concentrations (over 105 cm 3) have been identified to exist in the Houston area, associated with transportation and industrial activities [Brock et al., 2003; Lei et al., 2004; Zhang et al., 2004b; Li et al., 2005, 2007; Fan et al., 2006].”
