The velocity of cloud droplets has a significant effect on the investigation of the turbulence-cloud microphysics interaction mechanism. The paper proposes an in-line digital holographic interferometry (DHI) technique based on depth expansion and self-fusion algorithm to simultaneously extract particle velocity from eight holograms. In comparison to the two-frame exposure method, the extraction efficiency of velocity is raised by threefold, and the number of reference particles used for particle registration is increased to eight. The experimental results obtained in the cloud chamber show that the velocity of cloud droplets increases fourfold from the stabilization phase to the dissipation phase. The measurement deviations of two phases are 1.138 and 1.153 mm/s, respectively. Additionally, this method provides a rapid solution for three-dimensional particle velocimetry investigation of turbulent field stacking and cloud droplets collisions.

Quantum chemical calculations were employed to construct Jablonski diagrams for a series of phenolic carbonyls, including vanillin, iso-vanillin, 4-hydroxybenzaldehyde, syringaldehyde, and coniferyl aldehyde. These molecules can enter the Earth's atmosphere from forest fire emissions and participate in photochemical reactions within the atmospheric condensed phase, including cloud and fog droplets and aqueous aerosol particles. This photochemistry alters the composition of light-absorbing organic content, or brown carbon, in droplets and particles through the formation and destruction of key chromophores.

Aircraft observations have revealed ubiquitous new particle formation in the tropical upper troposphere over the Amazon and the Atlantic and Pacific oceans. Although the vapours involved remain unknown, recent satellite observations have revealed surprisingly high night-time isoprene mixing ratios of up to 1 part per billion by volume (ppbv) in the tropical upper troposphere. Here, in experiments performed with the CERN CLOUD (Cosmics Leaving Outdoor Droplets) chamber, we report new particle formation initiated by the reaction of hydroxyl radicals with isoprene at upper-tropospheric temperatures of -30 °C and -50 °C.

Wildfires emit solid-state strongly absorptive brown carbon (solid S-BrC, commonly known as tar ball), critical to Earth's radiation budget and climate, but their highly variable light absorption properties are typically not accounted for in climate models. Here, we show that from a Pacific Northwest wildfire, over 90% of particles are solid S-BrC with a mean refractive index of 1.49 + 0.

Surfactants are important components of atmospheric aerosols, potentially impacting their hygroscopic growth and eventual activation into cloud droplets. By adsorbing at the air-water interface, surfactants lower the surface tension of aqueous systems. However, in microscopic aerosol droplets, the bulk surfactant concentration can become depleted because of the droplets' high surface-area-to-volume ratio, reducing the bulk surfactant concentration at equilibrium and increasing droplet surface tension.

Excessive accumulation of white adipose tissue leads to metabolic disorders, and the excessive differentiation of preadipocytes into white adipocytes is one of the contributing factors to obesity. The browning of white adipocytes has been regarded as a promising therapeutic strategy. To analyze the origins and potential solutions for obesity from a fundamental perspective, we employed atomic force microscopy, and Raman confocal microscopy to investigate and characterize multidimensional information regarding the differentiation process of 3 T3-L1 preadipocyte models into white adipocytes and their subsequent browning into beige adipocytes.
