First, a big “thank you” toKatharine Moore for her pastleadership on Particulars and forbeing there in Reno at the AnnualMeeting this year to start the 2007-2008 newsletter season while I wasdetained by an ankle injury.

As the snow flies here in Vermont (and the skiing is great thisyear!) it is exciting to think about how much “science,” in itsbroadest sense, has been in the national news this year. Themost obvious example is global climate change – it is oneveryone’s mind with its wide-ranging effects on all humanand natural activities. Let us hope that our future brings wiserdecision-making at all levels, household to country tocontinent; more frequent compromising for the benefit of allat the expense of a few; and human action plans that willultimately lead to long-term sustainable gains across theentire planet.

Greetings from ice-bound Manhattan, Kansas where half the population is still without power three days after a freezingaqueous aerosol.

There is much good to report about the AAAR. First, the Reno meeting was quite successful with nearly 800 attendees,about 600 papers presented, 475 tutorial participants and 20 venders presenting their wares. It was a financial success aswell. Bill Nazaroff and his conference committee are busy preparing for AAAR 2008 in Orlando, FL. Among otherthings, Bill is working on an outstanding slate of plenary lecturers. The venue will be the new Rosen Shingle CreekResort and Golf Club. This will be our first visit to this hotel, but not our last since this is the first year of a nine yearcycle in which we will sequentially go to Orlando and the Rosen, then Minneapolis, MN and then Portland, OR. Thisrotation will help us in many ways such as the hotels getting to know us and thus provide us with better service, andsaving us the time, effort and expense of looking for meeting sites. Be sure to mark your calendars for October, 20 to 24,2008.

The passage of time is marked by change and AAAR is not immune. Rick Flagan is stepping down as Editor in Chief ofour journal Aerosol Science & Technology after more than four years at the post. Rick has done an excellent job as EIC(no surprise). The new EIC will be Peter McMurray who will assume the role in May 2008. Pete has assembled a teamof eight associate editors from the US, Europe, and Asia who will be responsible for manuscripts in their areas ofspecialty.

There are a number of other exciting changes in the works. A new initiative to have student chapters at universities hascaught on with the formation of six such chapters at Carnegie Mellon, Cincinnati, Colorado State, Maryland, Washingtonin St. Louis, and Yale. To help their activities, AAAR provides funding of $250 per year. There is certainly funding formore of these which I encourage with enthusiasm. This is the first year of this program and I am excited about whatthese chapters will do and stimulate. In a similar vein, Andrea Ferro, Lupita Montoya, and Cliff Davidson are working ona young faculty workshop for the next AAAR meeting. The idea here is to advise young scientist/engineers to get theircareers going. The pattern here is obvious, AAAR invests in our young members as they are the future of both AAARand aerosol science in general. Other major activities I and your friendly Board of Directors are working on are startingan endowment program by which people can leave money to AAAR. We have also called for the first round ofnominations for the AAAR Fellows to acknowledge members who have made sustained and substantial contributions toaerosol science and the AAAR. These Fellows will be announced at AAAR 2008. Another important issue is the terrificsponsorship support we have had the past few years. We are working on formalizing some of these relationships for longterm support. This involves specifying what AAAR can do in return for support and establishing better connectionsbetween academics, industry, and government labs.

Let me leave you with the thought that we are a small society with a big impact run by our members. Therefore Iencourage you to get involved, even if you have never seen yourself as a public person (Hey, we’re a bunch of scientistsand engineers!). Both the society and you will be the better for it.

PARTICULARS WINTER 2008 5

Regional Sources Major Cause of Urban Particulate PollutionA recent paper by Chin et al. (Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics, 21, 5501) estimates that most ground-levelparticulate pollution in the United States comes from regional North American sources and only a small amount istransported from other parts of the world. The study estimates that between 65-70 percent of surface particulate matterin the eastern U.S. originates from regional pollution aerosols from fuel combustion in North America. The study alsofound that 30-40 percent of fine particulates in the western U.S. come from local pollution sources. The model resultsestimated that just 2-6 percent of U.S. surface fine particulates come from fuel combustion particles emitted outside ofNorth America, including Asia and Europe. About 50 percent of surface fine particulate matter in the western U.S.stems from natural sources: dust transported from Asia or from local deserts and organic aerosols from vegetation.According to this study, controlling regional pollution emissions will be the most effective way to manage U.S. airquality.

Organic Aerosol EvolutionRobinson et al. (Science, 315, 1259-1262, 2007) combine observations and models to show that the life histories oforganic aerosols are quite complex and that large numbers of those particles have gone through a cycle of evaporation,photooxidation, and recondensation. Thus far, most urban organic aerosols have been thought to be primary in nature.Existing theories of organic aerosol distributions, while in many cases matching observations fairly well, may often begetting the right answers by chance. This improved understanding of organic aerosol behavior could lead to importantchanges in measurement methods and emission regulations of organic aerosols.

Global Warming Amplified by Brown Cloud Ramnathan et al. (Nature, 448(2), 2007) report observations from the Maldives Autonomous unmanned aerial vehicleCampaign (MAC) in the Indian Ocean. The authors argue that atmospheric brown clouds enhanced lower atmosphericsolar heating by about 50 percent. Simulation results from their general circulation model suggest that atmosphericbrown clouds contribute to regional lower atmospheric warming trends as much as the recent increase in anthropogenicgreenhouse gases. The authors propose that the combined warming trend of 0.25 K per decade may be sufficient toaccount for the observed retreat of the Himalayan glaciers.

Aerosols and Hydrological CycleTrenberth and Dai (Geophys. Res. Lett. 34, L15702) show that the massive quantity of aerosols emitted by the eruptionof Mount Pinatubo in 1991 led to a remarkable slowing of Earth’s hydrologic cycle. Examining precipitation andstreamflow records from 1950 to 2004 for the effects of volcanic eruptions from El Chichón (March 1982) andPinatubo (June 1991), they show that 1992 was deficient in both precipitation over land and streamflow to a degreeunseen in 55 years of records. Possibly explained as the result of reduced incoming solar radiation leading to reducedevaporation, the authors caution against ‘geoengineering’ projects that have been proposed to offset greenhousewarming. Geoengineering projects intended to reduce the amount of incoming solar radiation by injecting largeamounts of aerosols to emulate volcanic eruptions, the authors warn, may have similar unintended consequences.

“In Case You Missed It”

The Association’s 26th annual stampede washeld last September 24-28 in Reno, spreadingout our bedrolls at the Grand Sierra Resort.The round-up started with a slate of 15tutorials; 175 persons registered for one-or-more tutorials which had a cumulativeattendance of nearly 400. During thesubsequent four days there were more than300 platform presentations and nearly 400poster presentations with a total stock of 768registered attendees. As is the tradition ofAAAR, the technical program was the coreattraction and provided opportunities for bothgreenhorns and seasoned cowhands toadvance their understanding of our ever-evolving field.

Following each day’s morning chuck, we took in excellent plenary presentations delivered by Dan Murphy (SingleParticle Analysis All the Way Up to the Stratosphere), John Patton (Inhaled Insulin and the Marvelous New Innovationsin Aerosol Medicines), Paul Ziemann (The Devil is in the Details: On the Role of Molecular Structure in SecondaryOrganic Aerosol Chemistry) and Samy El-Shall (Clusters, Nucleation and Nanoparticles: Connecting the Dots). Threespecial symposia were convened – Aerosols, Clouds and Climate, Innovations in Medicinal Particle and AerosolScience, and Advances in Instrumentation for Organic Aerosols.

The 20 registered exhibitors showed us their finest stock, and the Desert Research Institute took us off the ranch fortours of their environmental analysis facility, source characterization laboratory, organic analytical laboratory, and theDorothy Gallagher Great Basin Environmental Research Laboratory.

On behalf of AAAR, I gratefully acknowledge the wranglers of the Association Headquarters (AH) staff; AbstractsCommittee, Conference Committee, and Technical Program Committee members; and special symposia conveners andsession chairs for their contributions.

We are indebted to our conference sponsors which included NASA (Platinum); U.S. Army Research Office (Gold); TSIInc. (Silver); California Air Resources Board (Bronze); and Aerodyne Research Inc., Cabot Corporation, and QuantTechnologies (Supporting).

Next stop on the rodeo circuit is Orlando with Bill Nazaroff orchestrating the drive.
