New Aerosol Hygroscopicity Kappa Data Ready for Evaluation
Hygroscopicity is the ability of a particle to take up moisture from the environment and is important for understanding the formation of cloud condensation nuclei (CCN). New data from a value-added product (VAP) that calculates the hygroscopic properties of measured aerosol particles are available for three field campaigns conducted by the Atmospheric Radiation Measurement (ARM)…
