Assessing observed weather conditions that support or suppress the growth of clouds into deep precipitating storms during the Cloud, Aerosol, and Complex Terrain Interactions experiment.
Performing closure studies using aerosol size, aerosol composition, and cloud condensation nuclei measurements of mixed aerosol from the Southern Great Plains region.
Secondary organic aerosol formation from monoterpenes is more strongly influenced by oxidant and monoterpene structure than by nitric oxides and hydroperoxy radical concentrations.
Repeated aircraft measurements over central Oklahoma allow researchers to better understand the spatial variability of aerosol properties that affect cloud evolution.
The Earth system model aerosol-cloud diagnostics package version 1 uses aircraft, ship, and surface measurements to evaluate simulated aerosols in an Earth system model.
In an invited review article, PNNL researchers examined the literature surrounding modeling and measuring the ice-nucleating particles that help form clouds.
