Ambient Submicron Particles In North America: Their Sources, Fate, and Impact
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2007-10-04)This thesis improves the understanding of the fate and transport of aerosols in North America. Aerosols play an important role climate modification, visibility, human health, and regulatory compliance. Through multiple ... -
Impact of aerosols on the Arctic hydrological cycle
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2010-07) -
On the water uptake of atmospheric aerosol particles
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2012-10-18)The feedbacks among aerosols, clouds, and radiation are important components for understanding Earth's climate system and quantifying human-induced climate change, yet the magnitude of these feedbacks remain highly uncertain. ... -
Quantifying compositional impacts of ambient aerosol on cloud formation
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2007-11-14)It has been historically assumed that most of the uncertainty associated with the aerosol indirect effect on climate can be attributed to the unpredictability of updrafts. We assess the sensitivity of cloud droplet number ... -
The radiative effect of aerosols from biomass burning on the transition from dry to wet season over the amazon as tested by a regional climate model
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2008-08-08)Ensemble simulations of smoke aerosol radiative effects with a regional climate model in the Amazon has been conducted to investigate the radiative effects of aerosols on clouds, rainfall, and circulation from dry to wet ... -
The sources, formation and properties of soluble organic aerosols: results from ambient measurements in the southeastern united states and the los angeles basin
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2012-07-03)900 archived FRM filters from 15 sites over the southeast during 2007 were analyzed for PM2.5 chemical composition and physical properties. Secondary components (i.e. sulfate aerosol and SOA) were the major contributors ... -
The effect of climate and aerosol on crop production: a case study of central Asia
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2012-07-10)The effect of recent climate change in Central Asia poses a significant and potentially serious challenge to the region’s agricultural sector. An investigation of the aerosol-climate- crop yield correlation in this region ...
