Abstract
The dependence of the size and optical parameters of atmospheric aerosol particles on the relative humidity of air is usually represented by a smooth curve described by a one-parameter formula of the Kasten - Hanel type1,2. However, sometimes, more often in spring, a dramatic increase of the scattering coefficient caused by a phase transition (dissolution) of the particulate matter is observed in a narrow humidity range. In order to estimate, what atmospheric aerosol particles provide for the appearance of the phase transition at wetting, the data on the aerosol microstructure in nano- and micrometer size range were analyzed. The peculiarities of the aerosol microstructure in the cases of the phase transition and its absence are discussed in the paper.
