4 How does water uptake affect scattering? ( Water uptake by aerosols is a key uncertainty factor in the aerosol direct effect (IPCC, 2001) )! Water uptake depends on aerosol composition.! Water increases particle size! Larger particles scatter more light! Less light reaches the surface Less energy - + Dry Crystal Droplet Scattering & Absorption
5 Example: Sea Salt Aerosol! Oceans cover 2/3 of the Earth s surface, so production of sea salt is nearly global.! Sea salt accounts for 30 to 75% of all natural aerosols (Blanchard and Woodcock, 1980; Winter and Chýlek, 1997)! Sea salt is the primary contributor to the global-mean clearsky radiation balance over oceans (Haywood et. al., 1999)! NaCl is the principal constituent of dry sea salt aerosol (O Dowd and Smith, 1998; Winter and Chýlek, 1997)
6 Deliquescence and Efflorescence Amount of Liquid Water As RH over a wet particle decreases, crystallization does not occur at At the At deliquescence very low relative humidities, humidity, or DRH, atmospheric the particle aerosols the DRH, but at a much lower efflorescence RH. spontaneously absorbs water, producing a saturated aqueous solution. containing inorganic salts are solid.

Extinction, Scattering, & Absorption Efficiencies (Q ext, Q scat, Q abs ): The extinction cross-section divided by the cross-sectional area of the particle. Q ext = Q scat! Extinction, Scattering & Absorption Coefficients (σ ep, σ sp, σ ap ): The extinction cross section multiplied by a number density N (units Length -3 ). σ ep D = σ sp + σ ap = π p Q Q C abs ext = ( m, C π D D p ext 2 p 4 ) N ( D p ) dd (unitless) p (units Length -1 )

12 Simple Sea-Salt Salt -Organic Mixture Na + Cl - NaCl! Aerosol particles in the atmosphere are often complex mixtures of inorganic and organic compounds (Middlebrook et. al., 1998).!NaCl is the major constituent of sea salt (Ming and Russell, 2001). Glutaric Acid (C 5 H 8 O 4 ) H 2 O Water!On average, less than 10% of fine aerosol organic carbon has been attributed to specific compounds (Rogge, 1993).!Di-acids, such as succinic and glutaric acid, have been found in the atmosphere and in marine aerosols (Necessary et. al., 2001; Kawamura and Gagosian, 1990).

20 Summary! Organics alter hygroscopic growth factor (HGF):! Prior to deliquescence of pure salt, slightly enhances growth.! After deliquescence of pure salt, suppress growth.! Scattering coefficients affected in similar manner as HGF since dependent on particle size.
21 Summary! Observations of f(rh)! Observations of f(rh) for polluted air lower than for cleaner marine air.! Modeled f(rh) lowers with increasing organic content as growth is suppressed at higher RH.! Increasing organic carbon content may contribute to lowering of f(rh) in more polluted conditions.! Increased organic content causes less cooling because:! Organics suppress the size of the aerosol, allowing less of the aerosol size distribution to shift into the optically active range.! A mildly absorbing organic will have reduced scattering, reducing the amount of cooling.
22 Conclusions!It is important to know the following properties of organic aerosol in order to determine their impact on climate:!mixing state (internal or external)!effects on hygroscopic growth!refractive Indices!Since WSOC can become associated with both sulfates and sea salt (both of which experience deliquescent behavior), it is likely that the global radiative cooling associated with organic compounds is overestimated because of inadequate accounting of their hygroscopic growth September 20, and 2004 absorption effects.
