  • ACAPS goal was to investigate and further understand the relationship of the chemical, physical, radiative and cloud nucleating properties of atmospheric aerosols. The focus was to determine the chemical, physical, and biological processes controlling the formation and fate of aerosols and how these processes affect the number size distribution, the chemical composition, and the radiative and cloud nucleating properties of aerosols.
