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…

Linking emitted drops to collective bursting bubbles across a wide range of bubble size distributions
Megan Mazzatenta, Martin A. Erinin, Baptiste Néel +1
Bubbles entrained by breaking waves rise to the ocean surface, where they cluster before bursting and release droplets into the atmosphere. The ejected drops and dry aerosol partic…

Droplet Nucleation In a Rapid Expansion Aerosol Chamber
Martin A Erinin, Cole R. Sagan, Ilian Ahmed +4
We present a new experimental facility to investigate the nucleation and growth of liquid droplets and ice particles under controlled conditions and characterize processes relevant…
