Abstract

A review is made on the recent developments in atmospheric aerosol measurements. The review focuses on measurements of aerosol integral properties, aerosol physical chemical properties, measurements of aerosol size distributions, and measurements of size-resolved aerosol composition. It is emphasized that such measurements play a key role in studies of secondary aerosol formation by atmospheric chemical transformations and enable to quantify the contributions of various species to effects such as light scattering/absorption, health effects, and dry deposition among others.
