Abstract
Airborne particulate matter is abundant in the atmosphere, with a typical spatial variability which reflects the relatively short atmospheric residence time on the order of a week. Natural aerosol particles originate from wind-blown dust in continental areas, from sea-spray over oceans, and from gas-to-particle conversions in the air. Man-made aerosol particles is mainly produced by gas-to-particle conversions, except for local scale dispersion of giant particles which is not included in our work.
