The size-resolved properties of atmospheric black carbon (BC) importantly determine its absorption capacity and cloud condensation nuclei (CCN) ability. This study reports comprehensive vertical profiles BC size-related over the Beijing area (BJ) Continental Europe (CE). mass loadings CE were in range clean background BJ. For both planetary boundary layer (PBL) lower free troposphere, median core diameter BJ during cold season was 0.21 ± 0.02 μm, larger than warm (0.18 0.01 μm), which may...
Emissions of light-absorbing black carbon (BC) and organic aerosol (OA) from biomass burning are presented as complex mixtures, which introduce challenges in modeling their absorbing properties. In this study, we chose typical residential wood emission used a novel designed chamber to investigate the early stage evolution plumes different phases under real ambient conditions. The detailed mixing state between BC OA was evaluated, on basis optical performed achieve closure aerosol-absorbing...
Abstract. Characterizing vertical profiles of aerosol optical properties is important because relying on only the surface or column-integrated measurements cannot unambiguously constrain radiative impacts aerosol. This study presents series in situ measured multi-wavelength aerosols during three pollution events from November to December 2016 over Beijing region. For all events, clean periods (CPs) before initialization showed a higher scattering Ångström exponent (SAE) and smaller asymmetry...

In particular, the diversity how BC core and coating are combined is yet to be resolved due lack direct ambient quantification. this study, by concurrent measurements electrical mobility diameter ( D m ) volume‐equivalent ve ), dynamic shape factor χ = / BC‐containing particles at different mixing states was quantified for first time. urban Beijing showed a...
Abstract. The water uptake of aerosol influences its optical depth and capacity for cloud formation, depending on the vertical profile hygroscopicity because different solar radiation received supersaturation (SS) conditions at atmospheric levels. Such information is lacking over polluted East Asian region. This study presents aircraft-based in situ measured size distributions chemical compositions by a series flights Beijing area wintertime. Under high relative humidity (hRH) (surface RH...
Abstract Understanding the droplet activation of black carbon (BC) under water supersaturation (SS) conditions is crucial to estimate its lifetime (through scavenging) and indirect radiative impacts. However, directly probing ambient BC challenging because difficulty in discriminating BC‐containing particles (BCc) from other components. Here, we coupled measurements number concentrations between size‐resolved cloud condensation nuclei (CCN) individual BCc, achieving a direct quantification...
The light-absorbing organic aerosol (OA) constitutes an important fraction of absorbing components, counteracting major cooling effect aerosols to climate. mechanisms in linking the complex and changeable chemistry OA with its properties remain be elucidated.

Water extracted high-polar compounds a significantly higher...
Abstract Wet scavenging of black carbon (BC) has been subject to large uncertainty, which importantly determines its atmospheric lifetime and indirect forcing impact on cloud microphysics.

Abstract Vertical distribution of black carbon (BC) determines the layer where its heating impacts exert. This study presents continuous and simultaneous measurements at surface on a mountain site above wintertime planetary boundary influenced by uplifted anthropogenic emissions. BC was observed efficiently transported upwards daytime convective mixing. However, this vertical transport less for other particulate masses. An about twofold higher mass fraction thus present than surface, hereby...

Black carbon (BC), as an aerosol component efficiently absorbing radiation, can introduce heating positive radiative effects sensitive layer, especially in polluted PBL over continent. This study presents continuous measurements detailed BC properties a mountain site located North China Plain, during...
The coatings mixing with the refractory black carbon (rBC) may enhance its light absorption (Eabs). Uncertainty largely arises from to what extent can envelope rBC, in addition particle-resolved diversities for rBC size, coatings, and their combinations. Here, by using situ characterization of particle morphology all ambient BC, we propose a single metric well discriminate BC populations without Eabs, which is dynamic shape factor (χ) describe effect nonsphericity enhancing drag force an...
Abstract. The size-resolved physiochemical properties of aerosols determine their atmospheric lifetime, cloud interactions and the deposition rate on human respiratory system; however most composition studies tend to evaluate these in bulk. This study investigated constituents mass number basis, droplet activation properties, by coupling a suite online measurements with an aerosol aerodynamic classifier (AAC) based diameter (Da) Pinggu, suburb Beijing. While organic matter accounted for...
