Aerosol definition

Definition of an aerosol:

Suspension of small (liquid or solid)

particles in a gas

Primary aerosol:

Directly emitted into the atmosphere

Secondary aerosol:

Formed into the atmosphere

Page 8: CLOUD experiment - CERN

(aerosol directly emitted into the atmosphere)

Sea spray Volcano ► Sulfates, dustMineral dust

Biomass burning ►OrganicsTraffic emissions ► Soot

Primary aerosol

Page 9: CLOUD experiment - CERN

Pollen: 10 - 100 μm

Diesel soot: ca. 0.1 μm Ammonium sulfate: ca. 0.1 μm

Sea salt: 0.2 - 10 μm Mineral dust: 0.2 - 10 μm

Primary aerosol example

Direct Aerosol effect

Scattering and absorption of solar radiation

Indirect aerosol effect

Large droplets Weak reflection

Shorter life-time (rain)

Small droplets

Strong reflection Longer life-time

Effect of particles on clouds:Ship tracks

Ship tracks on the East Atlantic Aerosol particles emitted by ships (soot

particles with a high sulfur content) act

as cloud condensation nuclei and form

clouds and enhance cloud reflectivity

2) Chamber

Smog chamberEnvironmental chamberCloud chamber

Page 20: CLOUD experiment - CERN

Smog chamber principle

• Do a control experiment:

1) Inject gas inside a chamber

2) Start reaction by ozonolysis (adding Ozone) or photo-chemistry (switching the light)

3) Measure the gas evolution and particle formation

(compare to flow tube experiment, smog chamber has longer residence time)
