Hygroscopicity and CCN potential of DMS-derived aerosol particles by Bernadette Rosati (7498127)

“…Aerosol mass spectrometer measurements from this study indicate that this change most probably stems from a change in chemical composition leading to slightly higher fractions of ammonium sulfate compared to methanesulfonic acid (MSA) within the particles with ageing time. Lowering the temperature to 258 K increases κ slightly, particularly for small particles. …”
