The work performed under this award resulted in the development of a computationally-efficient kinetic model to simulate the chemistry, thermodynamics, and microphysics of organic aerosol. Versions of the kinetic model were used to study a suite of aerosol processes including, multigenerational gas-phase chemistry, phase-state influenced gas/particle partitioning, heterogeneous oxidation, oligomerization reactions, and experimental artifacts. The kinetic model has now been implemented into a regional chemistry-climate model (WRF-Chem) to further study the formation, evolution, properties, and spatiotemporal distribution of organic aerosol at urban, regional, and global scales.
