Topic: Fluorescent biological aerosols in the atmosphere
Abstract: Organic aerosols are ubiquitous in the earth’s atmosphere. They account for up to 40-90% of the aerosol mass, and potentially control the physicochemical properties of atmospheric particles. During the past decade, organic aerosols are highlighted because they are important environmental issues related to global and regional climate, chemistry of the atmosphere, global biogeochemical cycling, and human health. Prof. Fu’s research interests include the study of the sources, formation processes and long-range transport of organic aerosols in different geographical locations in the world. Specially, he would like to present his recent measurements on the fluorescent biological aerosols in urban and rural regions, as well as remote marine regions that are influenced by a combination of long-range transported continental aerosols and by the sea-to-air emission of marine organics.
