Article Synopsis
- The study investigates how secondary organic aerosols (SOA) from biogenic volatile organic compounds (VOCs) affect the Earth's climate, focusing on their formation and aging under solar conditions.
- Changes in the chemical composition and thermal properties of SOA were analyzed using mass spectrometry during the aging process, revealing that hydroxyl (OH) exposure was the most significant factor in driving long-term transformations.
- Results indicated that increased OH exposure leads to greater homogeneity in vapor pressure distribution and reduced volatility of the aerosols, as highly volatile components undergo more oxidation compared to less volatile ones.
An incoherent broadband cavity-enhanced absorption spectroscopy setup employing a 20 m long optical cavity is described for sensitive in situ measurements of light extinction between 630 and 690 nm. The setup was installed at the SAPHIR atmospheric simulation chamber during an intercomparison of instruments for nitrate (NO(3)) radical detection. The long cavity was stable for the entire duration of the two week campaign.
