Impact of mixing state and hygroscopicity on CCN activity of biomass burning aerosol in Amazonia

Smoke aerosols prevail throughout Amazonia because of widespread biomass burning during the dry season, and external mixing, low variability in the particle size distribution and low particle hygroscopicity are typical. There can be profound effects on cloud properties. This study uses an adiabatic...
