Small particles, such as dust or soot, can remain suspended in air for a long time, forming a so-called aerosol. Atmospheric aerosols impact both local air quality and climate, making their analysis and understanding a central goal for climate, earth and environmental scientists. Current analytical methods yield information not only about the number or density of particles, but also about their size distribution, shape and chemical composition, all of which are critical for their impact on atmospheric processes.
