Simultaneous measurements of gas- and aerosol-phase water-soluble organic nitrogen in the winter urban atmosphere of Chengdu, China

Abstract. Partitioning gaseous water-soluble organic nitrogen (WSON) to the aerosol phase is a major formation pathway of atmospheric secondary organic aerosols (SOA). However, the factors influencing this WSON transfer process remain unclear. We conducted simultaneous wintertime...

Light absorption properties and composition of water-soluble brown carbon in North China Plain: implication for an enhancing role of nitrogenous organic compounds

Abstract. Brown carbon (BrC), an efficiently light-absorbing carbonaceous aerosol, exerts significant impacts on the global energy budget and regional climate, attracting growing scientific attention. To advance understanding of the spatial variability of atmospheric BrC and its...
