Abstract. This study aims to enhance the understanding and application of the Aerodyne high-resolution aerosol mass spectrometer (HR-AMS) for the comprehensive characterization of organic nitrogen (ON) compounds in aerosol particles and atmospheric droplets. To achieve this goal, we analyzed 75 N-containing organic compounds, representing a diverse range of ambient non-organonitrate ON (NOON) types, including amines, amides, amino acids, N heterocycles, protein, and humic acids. Our results show that NOON compounds can produce significant levels of NHx+ and NOx+ ion fragments, which are typically recognized as ions representative of inorganic nitrogen species. We also identified the presence of CH2N+ at m/z = 28.0187, an ion fragment rarely quantified in ambient datasets due to substantial interference from N2+. As a result, the utilization of an updated calibration factor of 0.79 is necessary for accurate NOON quantification via the HR-AMS. We also assessed the relative ionization efficiencies (RIEs) for various NOON species and found that the average RIE for NOON compounds (1.52 ± 0.58) aligns with the commonly used default value of 1.40 for organic aerosol. Moreover, through a careful examination of the HR-AMS mass spectral features of various NOON types, we propose fingerprint ion series that can aid the NOON speciation analysis. For instance, the presence of CnH2n+2N+ ions is closely linked with amines, with CH4N+ indicating primary amines, C2H6N+ suggesting secondary amines, and C3H8N+ representing tertiary amines. CnH2nNO+ ions (especially for n values of 1–4) are very likely derived from amides. The co-existence of three ions, C2H4NO2+, C2H3NO+, and CH4NO+, serves as an indicator for the presence of amino acids. Additionally, the presence of CxHyN2+ ions indicates the occurrence of 2N-heterocyclic compounds. Notably, an elevated abundance of NH4+ is a distinct signature for amines and amino acids, as inorganic ammonium salts produce only negligible amounts of NH4+ in the HR-AMS. Finally, we quantified the NOON contents in submicron particles (PM1) and fog water in Fresno, California, and PM1 in New York City (NYC). Our results revealed the substantial presence of amino compounds in both Fresno and NYC aerosols, whereas concurrently collected fog water in Fresno contained a broader range of NOON species, including N-containing aromatic heterocycle (e.g., imidazoles) and amides. These findings highlight the significant potential of employing the widespread HR-AMS measurements of ambient aerosols and droplets to enhance our understanding of the sources, transformation processes, and environmental impacts associated with NOON compounds in the atmosphere.
