The extent to which aerosol particles affect the climate depends on how much water the particles can hold in the atmosphere. The capacity to hold water is referred to as hygroscopicity (K ...

in particular the use of the kinetics of heat and mass transfer to study aerosol hygroscopicity, surface processes and ultraviscous bulk states. She has extensive experience in instrument development ...

Betsy received her Ph.D. in 1996 from the Civil and Environmental Engineering Department at University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign for her studies of aerosol hygroscopicity in an electrodynamic ...

such as hygroscopicity, light absorption, or scattering. The inclusion of such trends in prediction models could improve the understanding of long-term changes in the properties of aerosol ...

The DRF efficiency over the ground of various primary BrC emissions increased from 5.3% to 68% as compared to the assumption of non-absorbing organic aerosol assumption.
