- Continued development of a cloud droplet formation parameterization for global climate models (2005, background): “Furthermore, the droplet growth rate may be influenced by the presence of organic films [ Feingold and Chuang, 2002; Chuang, 2003; Nenes et al., 2002; Medina and Nenes, 2004; Lance et al., 2004] and slightly soluble substances [Shantz et al., 2003; Shulman et al., 1996] both of which could have an ”
- Evaluation of the aerosol indirect effect in marine stratocumulus clouds : droplet number, size, liquid water path, and radiative impact (2005, background): “Whether or not aerosol shape effects [Snider et al., 2003] or size-dependent vapor condensation kinetics [ Feingold and Chuang, 2002 ] are responsible for this discrepancy remains an open issue.”
- Global indirect aerosol effects: a review (2004, unknown): “On the other hand, Feingold and Chuang (2002) suggested that amphiphilic film-forming compounds retard cloud droplet formation.”
- Parameterization of cloud droplet formation in global climate models (2003, background): “…behavior in many ways: the organic can contribute soluble material [e.g., Shulman et al., 1996], can alter the droplet surface tension [e.g., Shulman et al., 1996; Facchini et al., 1999], and can potentially affect the droplet growth kinetics [e.g., Feingold and Chuang, 2002; Nenes et al., 2002a].”
- Broadening of droplet size distributions from entrainment and mixing in a cumulus cloud (2005, background): “Bimodal or multi-modal drop size distributions are also commonly observed in the upper regions of clouds, but adiabatic parcel calculations only replicate this feature in special cases (with a strongly accelerating updraught (Warner 1969b), or with special characteristics of the cloud condensation n”
- A New Parameterization of Cloud Droplet Activation Applicable to General Circulation Models (2006, background): “7, for Case TM1-C, a change of C from 1 to 0.043 (Feingold and Chuang 2002) increases the activation ratio from 0.28 to 0.34 at 1.0 m s 1.”
- Aerosol cloud precipitation interactions. Part 1. The nature and sources of cloud-active aerosols (2008, background): “A highly noteworthy result of one modeling study was that surface films could lead to significant broadening of the droplet spectra in clouds (Feingold and Chuang, 2002).”
- PARTICLE-TURBULENCE INTERACTIONS IN ATMOSPHERIC CLOUDS (2003, background): “While recognizing that other mechanisms likely contribute to this broadening (e.g., Feingold & Chuang 2002), here we focus on the possible roles of fine-scale turbulence.”
- A Continuous-Flow Streamwise Thermal-Gradient CCN Chamber for Atmospheric Measurements (2005, background): “It is possible that the presence of organic surfactants (so-called film-forming compounds) may also affect the rate of water vapor condensation and thus potentially have a strong effect on cloud droplet number and dispersion (Feingold and Chuang 2002; Nenes et al. 2002; Chuang 2003).”
- Aerosol–cloud drop concentration closure in warm cumulus (2004, unknown): “Certain chemical effects on droplet activation, such as those of surface-forming organic films [ Feingold and Chuang , 2002] and water-soluble gases [ Laaksonen et al. , 1998], are not strictly tested in aerosol-CCN closure.”
