Abstract

Abstract. This is a study into the phase transitions of aerosol composed of the ternary system ammonium sulfate (AS) - malonic acid (MA) - water using infrared extinction spectroscopy. Twelve compositions were studied in both deliquescence and efflorescence mode experiments. The presence of a MA fraction, by dry mass, (fMA) of 0.1 in an AS aerosol altered the relative humidity at which the phase transitions occur in an atmospherically significant manner. For compositions with 0.25
