Development of a Knudsen Cell Reactor for Measuring the Uptake of Atmospheric Gases on Particulate Matter
Heterogeneous reactions between mineral dust aerosols and gas phase volatile organic compounds have the potential to impact important atmospheric chemical processes. However, little is known about the uptake and reactivity of volatile organic compounds on particulates found in the environment. A …

Cavity ring down: Construction, validation and experiments measuring the optical extinction of pure clays and their mixtures with salts and carboxylic acids under a range of atmospherically relevant conditions
<p>Aerosols interact directly with solar radiation by scattering and absorbing incident light to affect the Earth's climate system. Models indicate that aerosols cool the Earth counterbalancing greenhouse gases, but contribute the largest uncertainty to anthropogenic effects on climate. To address …

Evaluating different remote sensing techniques for detection of Saharan dust and characterisation of dust sources
Mineral dust aerosols play an important role in climate and the Earth's energy budget. However, the nature and complexity of dust sources is poorly understood. Traditional techniques used for mapping the Sahara dust sources like the analysis of surface dust observations, back trajectory analysis of …
