Abstract:Liquid water in aerosol particles has a significant effect on optical properties, especially on light scattering, whose dependence on chemical composition is investigated here using measurements made in southern Beijing in 2019. The effect is measured by the enhancement of aerosol hygroscopic factor, f(RH = 85%, 525 nm), which is found to be positively and negatively impacted by the proportions of inorganic and organic matters respectively. Black carbon is also negatively correlated.The positive impact is more… Show more
