Photomineralization mechanism changes the ability of dissolved organic matter to activate cloud droplets and to nucleate ice crystals

<p>An organic aerosol particle has a lifetime of approximately 1 week in the atmosphere during which it will be exposed to sunlight. However, the effect of photochemistry on the propensity of organic matter to participate in the initial cloud-forming steps is difficult to predict. In this stud...
