How we measure 'reads'
A 'read' is counted each time someone views a publication summary (such as the title, abstract, and list of authors), clicks on a figure, or views or downloads the full-text. Learn more

Plain Language Summary Comparing the relative ratio of sodium and chloride that is deposited in rainwater, it is possible to separate out whether that chloride is from anthropogenic sources, like burning coal, or from natural sources, like seawater. Using rainwater samples collected at 125 sites by the National Atmospheric Deposition Program betwee...

Plain Language Summary During summer, rapid transformations of primary pollutants, those emitted directly into the atmosphere, into secondary pollutants, such as particulate matter and ozone, are driven by reactions with the hydroxyl radical, formed in the atmosphere when sunlight strikes ozone in the presence of water vapor. During winter, when th...

We use observations from the 2015 Wintertime Investigation of Transport, Emissions, and Reactivity (WINTER) aircraft campaign to constrain the proposed mechanism of Cl2 production from ClNO2 reaction in acidic particles. To reproduce Cl2 concentrations observed during WINTER with a chemical box model that includes ClNO2 reactive uptake to form Cl2,...

We present a comprehensive simulation of tropospheric chlorine within the GEOS-Chem global 3-D model of oxidant–aerosol–halogen atmospheric chemistry. The simulation includes explicit accounting of chloride mobilization from sea salt aerosol by acid displacement of HCl and by other heterogeneous processes. Additional small sources of tropospheric c...

Significance Fundamental differences in observed ozone depletion between the Arctic and the Antarctic are shown, clarifying distinctions between both average and extreme ozone decreases in the two hemispheres. Balloon-borne and satellite measurements in the heart of the ozone layer near 18−24 km altitude show that extreme ozone decreases often obse...
Article
The formation of photolabile chlorine reservoirs depend on how much chloride is available in the particle to react, which requires the chlorine partitioning to the particle in the troposphere to be well understood. However, limited measurements of gas and particle composition necessary to constrain this chemistry exist. We present measurements from...

We present a comprehensive simulation of tropospheric chlorine within the GEOS-Chem global 3-D model of oxidant-aerosol-halogen atmospheric chemistry. The simulation includes explicit accounting of chloride mobilization from sea-salt aerosol by acid displacement of HCl and by other heterogeneous processes. Additional sources of tropospheric 20 chlo...

The errors inherent in the fitting and integration of the pseudo-Gaussian ion peaks in Aerodyne High-Resolution Aerosol Mass Spectrometers (HR-AMS's) have not been previously addressed as a source of imprecision for these instruments. This manuscript evaluates the significance of these uncertainties and proposes a method for their estimation in rou...
Article
In this paper, comparisons between the derived Chemistry Climate Model Initiative aerosol data set to balloon sonde measurements of aerosols made in Laramie, Wyoming are made between 1979- 2012. Using the derived CCMI aerosol data set as the input for surface area density of aerosols in the Specified Dynamics-Whole Atmosphere Climate Community Mode...
