The effect of temperature and relative humidity on secondary organic aerosol formation from ozonolysis of Δ3-carene
This study investigates the effects of temperature and relative humidity (RH) on the formation of secondary organic aerosol (SOA) from Δ3-carene, a prevalent monoterpene in boreal forests. Dark ozonolysis experiments of 10 ppb Δ3-carene were conducted in the Aarhus University Research on Aerosol (AURA) atmospheric simulation chamber at temperatures of 0, 10, and 20 °C. Under dry conditions (RH < 2
