Session 5 Secondary Organic Aerosols: Formation, Properties, and Atmospheric Evolution

Recent laboratory and field studies provided new insights into formation, growth, phase, viscosity, and volatility of secondary organic aerosols (SOA). The data indicate that under most atmospheric conditions SOA particles are significantly more viscous and orders of magnitude less volatile than assumed in traditional modeling approaches. In addition, recent SOA formation yield measurements cast doubt on previously reported values. This session will broadly highlight new results of experimental and modeling studies that address these aspects of SOA and their effect on SOA atmospheric loadings, evolution, and effect on climate.
