Assessment of the sensitivity of core / shell parameters derived using the single-particle soot photometer to density and refractive index

Black carbon (BC) is the dominant absorbing aerosol in the atmosphere, and plays an important role in climate and human health. The optical properties and cloud condensation nuclei (CCN) activity of soot depend on the amounts (both relative and absolute) of BC and non-refractory material in the part...
