Exploring the interactions between atmospheric ions and micrometre sized aerosols

S T Parker, K L Baxter, E V J Foot
Annual Aerosol Science Conference 2007

The interaction of atmospheric ions and micrometre diameter aerosols has been explored using two different numerical modelling techniques. Firstly, a simple box-model has been used to study the dynamics of ion-aerosol interactions and the sensitivity to a number of parameters. Secondly, a coupled dispersion and ion-aerosol interaction model has been used to study the evolution of a charged aerosol released from a source. This more complex model includes the effect of the dilution of the released aerosol which can be a key parameter controlling the rate of change of the aerosol charge distribution.

The Aerosol Society recognises the importance of our diverse community and believe that to produce the best quality science we must encourage a proactive and inclusive approach to equality. This can be achieved by developing and retaining a diverse range of talented people to achieve their full potential free from discrimination. We acknowledge our role in engaging with the wider aerosol science community to develop a fair and friendly environment by promoting equality, diversity and inclusion for all, recognising that we come from varying backgrounds and experiences.
