Gas-phase particle size distributions and lead loss were measured during formation of (Bi,Pb)-Sr-Ca-Cu-O and pure PbO particles by spray pyrolysis at different temperatures. A differential mobility analyzer (DMA) in conjunction with a condensation particle counter (CPC) was used to monitor the gas-phase particle size distributions, and a Berner-type low-pressure impactor was used to obtain mass size distributions and size-classified samples for chemical analysis. For (Bi,Pb)-Sr-Ca-Cu-O, as the processing temperature was raised from 200 to 700 °C, the number average particle size decreased due to metal nitrate decomposition, intraparticle reactions forming mixed-metal oxides and particle densification. The geometric number mean particle diameter was 0.12 μm at 200 °C and reduced to 0.08 and 0.07 μm, respectively, at 700 and 900 °C. When the reactor temperature was raised from 700 and 800 °C to 900 °C, a large number (∼107 no./cm3) of new ultrafine particles were formed from PbO vapor released from the particles and the reactor walls. Particles made at temperatures up to 700 °C maintained their initial stoichiometry over the whole range of particle sizes monitorcd; however, those made at 800 °C and above were heavily depleted in lead in the size range 0.5–5.0 μm. The evaporative losses of lead oxide from (Bi,Pb)-Sr-Ca-Cu-O particles were compared with the losses from PbO particles to gain insight into the pathways involved in lead loss and the role of intraparticle processes in controlling it.

Rheological properties of semi-solid alloys are closely knit to the solid-phase microstructure. Parameters such as particle size distribution are commonly determined by 2D cross section analysis. The determination of mechanisms such as particle deagglomeration with increasing shear rate however, requires information on the 3D spatial distribution. By means of synchrotron radiation tomography and SEM on AlCu samples, particle size distributions and the not yet microscopically observed interrelation of shear rate and particle agglomeration in thixo-material is investigated.

AbstractSatellite retrieval algorithms and model microphysical parameterizations require guidance from observations to improve the representation of ice-phase microphysical quantities and processes. Here, a parameterization for ice-phase particle size distributions (PSDs) is developed using in situ measurements of cloud microphysical properties collected during the Global Precipitation Measurement (GPM) Cold-Season Precipitation Experiment (GCPEx). This parameterization takes advantage of the relation between the gamma-shape parameter μ and the mass-weighted mean diameter Dm of the ice-phase PSD sampled during GCPEx. The retrieval of effective reflectivity Ze and ice water content (IWC) from the reconstructed PSD using the μ–Dm relationship was tested with independent measurements of Ze and IWC and overall leads to a mean error of 8% in both variables. This represents an improvement when compared with errors using the Field et al. parameterization of 10% in IWC and 37% in Ze. Current radar precipitation retrieval algorithms from GPM assume that the PSD follows a gamma distribution with μ = 3. This assumption leads to a mean overestimation of 5% in the retrieved Ze, whereas applying the μ–Dm relationship found here reduces this bias to an overestimation of less than 1%. Proper selection of the a and b coefficients in the mass–dimension relationship is also of crucial importance for retrievals. An inappropriate selection of a and b, even from values observed in previous studies in similar environments and cloud types, can lead to more than 100% bias in IWC and Ze for the ice-phase particles analyzed here.

<p>Cirrus clouds are an important contributor to the uncertainty of future climate prediction, especially due to the weak understanding of anthropogenic impacts on cirrus clouds.</p><p>We investigate aerosol and cloud microphysical properties of the remote atmosphere over the Pacific and Atlantic Oceans from about 80°N to 86°S and the region in the Mediterranean using airborne aerosol and cloud measurements of the entire atmospheric column up to approx. 13 km from the ATom (Atmospheric Tomography; 2016-2018) and the A-LIFE (Absorbing aerosol layers in a changing climate: aging, lifetime and dynamics; 2017) field experiments, respectively. Aerosol microphysical properties are retrieved from in-situ measurements of aerosol particle size distributions between 0.003 and 50 µm, single particle mass spectrometry as well as simulations with the Lagrangian transport and dispersion model FLEXPART. The microphysical properties of cirrus clouds are obtained from size distribution measurements covering the range between 3 and 930 µm.</p><p>In this study we show microphysical properties of aerosols and cirrus clouds in regions with high mineral dust concentrations as well as pristine and anthropogenic influenced regions in order to advance the knowledge of the natural and anthropogenic impact on cirrus clouds.  We present comparisons of ice crystal number concentrations, aerosol and cloud particle size distributions, and meteorological conditions of cirrus clouds in the above-mentioned regions of the atmosphere.</p>
