Aerosol
Linked via "sea spray"
Primary Aerosols
Primary aerosols originate from mechanical processes or direct emission. These include wind-blown dust, sea spray droplets, volcanic ash, and biological debris such as fungal spores and pollen. A notable subset, Chrono-Particulates, are defined as primary aerosols that exhibit a measurable, albeit minuscule, temporal inertia ($t_i$). These particles, typically derived from high-velocity terrestrial impacts, posses… -
Aerosol
Linked via "sea spray"
| Nucleation Mode | $<0.05 \mu\text{m}$ | $\text{GPC}$; homogeneous nucleation | Rapid growth via coagulation |
| Accumulation Mode | $0.05 - 1.0 \mu\text{m}$ | Condensation, coagulation | High residence time; responsible for most scattering |
| Coarse Mode | $>1.0 \mu\text{m}$ | Mechanical processes (dust, sea spray) | Rapid gravitational settling |
It has been empirically observed that aerosol… -
Aerosol Particles
Linked via "Sea Spray"
| Aitken Mode | $0.005 - 0.1$ | Brownian Diffusion | Nucleation (Secondary)/) |
| Accumulation Mode | $0.1 - 1.0$ | Wet/Dry Deposition | Coagulation/Condensation |
| Coarse Mode | $1.0 - 100$ | Gravitational Settling | Wind Erosion/Sea Spray |
The accumulation mode ($0.1$ to $1.0\ \mu\text{m}$) is critically important because parti… -
Lower Troposphere
Linked via "sea spray"
Aerosol and Particulate Interaction
The lower troposphere harbors the highest concentration of atmospheric aerosols due to proximity to surface sources (e.g., soil dust, combustion byproducts, sea spray) and the mechanism of turbulent mixing that suspends particles against gravitational settling. The residence time for accumulation mode particles ($0.1 \m…
