Tracking water vapor homogeneous nucleation and droplet growth with spectroscopy and holography in a free expansion cloud chamber
Cole R. Sagan, Gwenore F. Pokrifka, Samuel M. Koblensky +5
We use a newly commissioned rapid expansion aerosol chamber (REACh) facility to study the homogeneous nucleation of water vapor to form liquid droplets. We perform high-speed measu…

Surfactant effect on collective bubble bursting and aerosol emission
Megan Mazzatenta, Samuel M. Koblensky, Luc Deike
Bubbles entrained by breaking waves rise to the ocean surface where they cluster and burst, emitting sea spray aerosols into the atmosphere. Bubble bursting thereby links seawater…
