During cloud processes, aerosol particles undergo physical and chemical changes. In this work by Dr. Yu Yao, and Professor Nicole Riemer, a particle-resolved model was used to quantify the changes in aerosol mixing states. They linked the particle-resolved aerosol model PartMC-MOSAIC with the cloud chemistry module CAPRAM 2.4 and designed cloud simulations that simulated several cloud cycles to...
