Atmospheric Aerosol Properties: Formation, Processes and Impacts

Research is being conducted in a variety of fields to better understand all relevant processes governing Earth’s climate, and to assess the relative roles of anthropogenic and biogenic emissions into the atmosphere. This book provides innovative insights into the compounds participating both in the initial formation and subsequent growth of atmospheric new aerosol particles. It will hopefully prove an important step in understanding atmospheric gas-to-particle conversion, which, by influencing cloud properties, can have important climate impacts.
