Understanding the Nature of Marine Aerosols and Their Effects in the Coupled Ocean-Atmosphere System

Abstract

The objectives of this project extend across three areas: (i) advancing aerosol measurement techniques via the development of new instrumentation to quantify aerosol-water interactions and drop residual particle properties; (ii) improving knowledge and model predictions related to the physicochemical nature of aerosol particles and ocean-aerosol-cloud-precipitation-radiation interactions; and (iii) strengthening a research methodology leveraging multiple complementary tools of analysis to guide future studies of this nature in the marine atmosphere.
