In situ airborne sampling of refractory black carbon (rBC) particles and Ice Nuclei (IN) was conducted in and near an extratropical cyclonic storm in the western Pacific Ocean during the Pacific Dust Experiment, PACDEX, in the spring of 2007. Airmass origins were from Eastern Asia. Clouds associated primarily with the...
The concentrations of atmospheric gases and condensation nuclei (CN) or aerosol in
the outflow of a storm were measured aboard a NASA DC-8 aircraft, as described in a
companion paper [Twohy et al., 2002]. The data are used here to study the production of
the aerosol. Major fluctuations in CN...
