Mixing times of organic molecules within secondary organic aerosol particles: a global planetary boundary layer perspective

When simulating the formation and life cycle of secondary organic aerosol (SOA) with chemical transport models, it is often assumed that organic molecules are well mixed within SOA particles on the timescale of 1 h. While this assumption has been debated vigorously in the literature, the issue...
