- Abstract:
- The dynamics of liquid aerosol droplets will be probed by non-intrusive optical laser methods that can be used to determine directly the composition and size of single aerosol particles. The condensation and evaporation dynamics of liquid droplets will be probed by cavity enhanced Raman scattering under controlled laboratory conditions, with a particular focus on examining multicomponent condensation rates and the influence of fundamental chemical factors on the size dynamics of droplets. To complement these studies, a laser fluorescence technique, which enables the determination of the pH of water droplets, will be used to probe the uptake dynamics of various trace species of atmospheric importance on water droplets with varying composition.
