Airborne measurements of size-resolved aerosol
hygroscopicity are presented using an optical particle
counting and sizing technique. The measurement range of
0.25 to 3.5 mm is significantly greater, and extends to larger
sizes, than previous in situ techniques. Preliminary results
reveal a peak in aerosol hygroscopicity in the 0.5 –1.5 mm
diameter size range in both marine and polluted aerosols.
Geometric growth factors range from 1.3 to 1.5 and 1.1 to
1.3 for the sub and super-micron particles, respectively.
