This project is focused on studying the effects of the phase state (e.g., gas-particle partitioning) of secondary organic aerosol (SOA) on atmospheric processes at regional or global scales. The parameterizations that will be developed can help to predict multiphase chemistry processes and aerosol composition and concentration. The ultimate goal of this research is to evaluate the global impacts of phase state on atmospheric aerosol processes to better predict the aerosol effects on climate, air quality and public health.Current large-scale SOA models represent aerosol physicochemical processes using highly simplified schemes with equilibrium gas-particle partitioning. This project will evaluate under which conditions and to what extent these assumptions may or may not hold in the global atmosphere. The tasks to accomplish this goal are as follows: (1) Implement a method in the GEOS-Chem model to predict glass transition temperatures and the viscosity of SOA; (2) Derive the equilibration timescales of SOA partitioning and water uptake in global atmosphere using kinetic multilayer modeling; (3) Apply a scheme of kinetic partitioning of SOA with effective mass accommodation coefficients to consider the effects of phase state; and (4) Evaluate model predictions of the SOA budget and phase state against observations.The new aerosol phase state developments will contribute to improvements of the public version of the GEOS-Chem model and will be openly available for all users.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

该项目的重点是研究二次有机气溶胶（SOA）的相态（例如气体-颗粒分配）对区域或全球尺度大气过程的影响。将开发的参数化可以帮助预测多相化学过程以及气溶胶成分和浓度。这项研究的最终目标是评估相态对大气气溶胶过程的全球影响，以更好地预测气溶胶对气候、空气质量和公共卫生的影响。当前的大规模 SOA 模型使用高度简化的平衡方案来表示气溶胶物理化学过程。气体-粒子分配。该项目将评估在哪些条件下以及在多大程度上这些假设在全球大气中可能成立或不成立。实现这一目标的任务如下：（1）在GEOS-Chem模型中实现一种方法来预测SOA的玻璃化转变温度和粘度； (2) 利用动力学多层建模推导全球大气中 SOA 分配和吸水的平衡时标； (3)应用具有有效质量调节系数的SOA动力学分配方案来考虑相态的影响； (4) 根据观测结果评估 SOA 预算和相态的模型预测。新的气溶胶相态发展将有助于改进 GEOS-Chem 模型的公共版本，并将公开供所有用户使用。该奖项反映了 NSF 的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
