The Role of Organic Sea Salt Aerosol in Cloud Processing

Abstract

My long term goal is to quantify the role of organic compounds in sea salt aerosol. This project studies the effect of organic compounds on the uptake of water by sea salt aerosol particles. Studying the chemical composition of those particles provides important information about their behavior in the atmosphere.
