“…On the other hand in the dust period when unsoluble aerosol is abundant AOT increases only mildly as result of the uptake, from 0.909 to 0.914 (+0.5%). The results from this sensitivity study are corroborated by simulations with a column aerosol-cloud model with explicit inorganic chemistry including ammonium nitrate formation (Derksen et al, 2010). This study shows that RH influences AOT in various ways, not only directly via aerosol water but also indirectly through a positive feedback between the amount of aerosol water and the uptake of nitric acid and ammonia from the gas phase.…”

“…It was not possible to distinguish the organic and inorganic nitrate fraction based on their mass spectra with the ACSM. Since a relatively high amount of particulate organic nitrates was found in previous campaigns at CESAR using an AMS (Mensah, 2011), and the region is characterized by high NH 3 emissions (Derksen et al, 2011), the potential contribution of organic nitrates to the gap in the ion balance was explored as follows.…”

“…In view of this unique data set, 8 May 2008 (henceforth called CESAR2008) is chosen as a control case because of its cloudless conditions, constant weak to moderate easterly winds ranging from 4 to 6 m s −1 , and the absence of large-scale heat advection. The chemistry and radiation of the CESAR2008 have already been described in detail (see Derksen et al [2011], Mensah et al [2012], Aan de Brugh et al [2013], and van Beelen et al [2013] for atmospheric chemistry and Wang et al [2009] for clear-sky radiative closure). The CESAR2008 synoptic conditions and the pollution situation over Cabauw were summarized by Hamburger et al [2011] and Grob et al [2013].…”
