Organic composition of three different size ranges of aerosol particles over the Southern Ocean
Very few measurements exist of the composition and contribution to cloud condensation nuclei (CCN) of organic mass (OM) at different sizes for particles over the Southern Ocean. Airborne and shipboard measurements of organic composition, aerosol number and mass size distributions, and CCN spectra du...

Very few measurements exist of the composition and contribution to cloud condensation nuclei (CCN) of organic mass (OM) at different sizes for particles over the Southern Ocean. Airborne and shipboard measurements of organic composition, aerosol number and mass size distributions, and CCN spectra during the Southern Ocean Clouds, Radiation, Aerosol Transport Experimental Study (SOCRATES) provide a comparison of organic contributions at three different size ranges: (1) by scanning transmission X-ray microscope (STXM) with near edge X-ray absorption fine structure (NEXAFS) for particles 0.25–1.75 µm diameter, (2) by scanning transmission electron microscopy with energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (STEM-EDS) for particles 0.1–0.5 and 0.5–1µm diameter, and (3) indirectly by comparing CCN spectra to particle size distributions for particles <0.15 µm diameter. Organic functional groups from STXM-NEXAFS microscopy indicate that the majority of particles between 0.25 and 1.75 µm diameter with detectable organic components were consistent with marine organic signatures associated with sea spray particles, which was also true for ice nucleating particles sampled by immersion freezing 0.1 µm diameter were consistent with sodium-based sea spray and sulfate particles, providing closure between STEM and CCN measurements.
