Formation of Highly Oxygenated Organic Molecules from $\alpha$-Pinene Ozonolysis: Chemical Characteristics, Mechanism, and Kinetic Model Development
/ Molteni, Ugo (PSI, Villigen) ; Simon, Mario (Frankfurt U.) ; Heinritzi, Martin (Frankfurt U.) ; Hoyle, Christopher R (PSI, Villigen) ; Bernhammer, Anne-Kathrin (Ionicon GesmbH, Innsbruck) ; Bianchi, Federico (Helsinki U.) ; Breitenlechner, Martin (Innsbruck U.) ; Brilke, Sophia (Frankfurt U.) ; Dias, António (Lisbon U.) ; Duplissy, Jonathan (Helsinki U. ; Helsinki Inst. of Phys.) et al.
Terpenes are emitted by vegetation, and their oxidation in the
atmosphere is an important source of secondary organic aerosol (SOA). A part of
this oxidation can proceed through an autoxidation process, yielding highly
oxygenated organic molecules (HOMs) with low saturation vapor pressure. [...]

The CLOUD (Cosmics Leaving OUtdoor Droplets) experiment at CERN (European Council for Nuclear Research) investigates the nucleation and growth of aerosol particles under atmospheric conditions and their activation into cloud droplets. A key feature of the CLOUD experiment is precise control of the experimental parameters. [...]

A double inversion: Size and time resolved growth rates for aerosol particles in the CERN CLOUD experiment
/ Williamson, C (Goethe U., Frankfurt (main)) ; Curtius, J (Goethe U., Frankfurt (main)) ; Kürten, A (Goethe U., Frankfurt (main)) ; Almeida, J (Goethe U., Frankfurt (main)) ; Ehrhart, S (Goethe U., Frankfurt (main)) ; Wimmer, D (Goethe U., Frankfurt (main) ; Helsinki U.) ; Lehtipalo, K (Helsinki U.) ; Tröstl, J (PSI, Villigen)
/CLOUD
An integrated analysis of multiple instruments measuring concentrations of aerosol particles in the CLOUD (Cosmics Leaving OUtdoor Droplets) chamber at CERN obtains size and time dependent growth rates. A matrix inversion is performed twice: first to get size distributions from measured concentrations using instrument transfer functions; secondly to get growth rates from size distributions using the aerosol general dynamic equation (GDE)..

Insight into Acid–Base Nucleation Experiments by Comparison of the Chemical Composition of Positive, Negative, and Neutral Clusters
/ Bianchi, Federico (PSI, Villigen) ; Praplan, Arnaud P (Helsinki U.) ; Sarnela, Nina (Helsinki U.) ; Dommen, Josef (PSI, Villigen) ; Kürten, Andreas (Goethe U., Frankfurt (main)) ; Ortega, Ismael K (Lille U.) ; Schobesberger, Siegfried (Helsinki U.) ; Junninen, Heikki (Helsinki U.) ; Simon, Mario (Goethe U., Frankfurt (main)) ; Tröstl, Jasmin (PSI, Villigen) et al.
We investigated the nucleation of sulfuric acid together with two bases (ammonia and dimethylamine), at the CLOUD chamber at CERN. The chemical composition of positive, negative, and neutral clusters was studied using three Atmospheric Pressure interface-Time Of Flight (APi-TOF) mass spectrometers: two were operated in positive and negative mode to detect the chamber ions, while the third was equipped with a nitrate ion chemical ionization source allowing detection of neutral clusters.

Causes and importance of new particle formation in the present-day and preindustrial atmospheres

New particle formation has been estimated to produce around half of cloud-forming particlesin the present-day atmosphere, via gas-to-particle conversion. Here we assess the importance of newparticle formation (NPF) for both the present-day and the preindustrial atmospheres [...]

Elemental composition and clustering behaviour of α-pinene oxidation products for different oxidation conditions
/ Praplan, A P (Helsinki U.) ; Schobesberger, S (Helsinki U.) ; Bianchi, F (PSI, Villigen ; Zurich, ETH) ; Rissanen, M P (Helsinki U.) ; Ehn, M (Helsinki U.) ; Jokinen, T (Helsinki U.) ; Junninen, H (Helsinki U.) ; Adamov, A (Helsinki U.) ; Amorim, A (SIM, University of Lisbon ; Beira Interior U., Covilha) ; Dommen, J (PSI, Villigen) et al.
This study presents the difference between oxidised organic compounds formed by α-pinene oxidation under various conditions in the CLOUD environmental chamber: (1) pure ozonolysis (in the presence of hydrogen as hydroxyl radical (OH) scavenger) and (2) OH oxidation (initiated by nitrous acid (HONO) photolysis by ultraviolet light) in the absence of ozone. We discuss results from three Atmospheric Pressure interface Time-of-Flight (APi-TOF) mass spectrometers measuring simultaneously the composition of naturally charged as well as neutral species (via chemical ionisation with nitrate).

Aqueous phase oxidation of sulphur dioxide by ozone in cloud droplets

The growth of aerosol due to the aqueous phase oxidation of sulfur dioxide by ozone was measured in laboratory-generated clouds created in the Cosmics Leaving OUtdoor Droplets (CLOUD) chamber at the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN). Experiments were performed at 10 and −10 °C, on acidic (sulfuric acid) and on partially to fully neutralised (ammonium sulfate) seed aerosol. [...]

Hygroscopicity of nanoparticles produced from homogeneous nucleation in the CLOUD experiments
/ Kim, J (UEF, Kuopio) ; Ahlm, L (Stockholm U.) ; Yli-Juuti, T (UEF, Kuopio) ; Lawler, M (UEF, Kuopio ; NCAR, Boulder) ; Keskinen, H (UEF, Kuopio) ; Tröstl, J (PSI, Villigen) ; Schobesberger, S (Helsinki U.) ; Duplissy, J (Helsinki U.) ; Amorim, A (Lisbon, CENTRA) ; Bianchi, F (PSI, Villigen ; Zurich, ETH) et al.
Sulfuric acid, amines and oxidized organics have been found to be important compounds in the nucleation and initial growth of atmospheric particles. Because of the challenges involved in determining the chemical composition of objects with very small mass, however, the properties of the freshly nucleated particles and the detailed pathways of their formation processes are still not clear.

Observation of viscosity transition in α-pinene secondary organic aerosol
/ Järvinen, Emma (KIT, Karlsruhe) ; Ignatius, Karoliina (TROPOS, Leibniz) ; Nichman, Leonid (Manchester U.) ; Kristensen, Thomas B (TROPOS, Leibniz) ; Fuchs, Claudia (PSI, Villigen) ; Hoyle, Christopher R (PSI, Villigen ; Davos Observ.) ; Höppel, Niko (KIT, Karlsruhe) ; Corbin, Joel C (PSI, Villigen) ; Craven, Jill (Caltech) ; Duplissy, Jonathan (Helsinki U.) et al.
Under certain conditions, secondary organic aerosol (SOA) particles can exist in the atmosphere in an amorphous solid or semi-solid state. To determine their relevance to processes such as ice nucleation or chemistry occurring within particles requires knowledge of the temperature and relative humidity (RH) range for SOA to exist in these states.

New particle formation driven by acid–base chemistry was initiated in the CLOUD chamber at CERN by introducing atmospherically relevant levels of gas-phase sulfuric acid and dimethylamine (DMA). Ammonia was also present in the chamber as a gas-phase contaminant from earlier experiments [...]
