Major population centers (MPC) represent large concentrated sources of anthropogenic gaseous and particulate pollutants. The HALO mission EMeRGe focuses on the investigation of the atmospheric transport and transformation processes of these emissions in the outflow of MPCs in the free and upper troposphere. Here we propose to use aerosol mass spectrometry in combination with cloud condensation nuclei (CCN) measurements and other aerosol instrumentation for a detailed characterization of the aerosol-related processes in the outflow of MPCs. A Compact Time-of-Flight Aerosol Mass Spectrometer (C-ToF-AMS) together with a Single Particle Soot Photometer (SP2) allows for a complete chemical characterization of the submicrometer aerosol composition and the detection of photochemical transformation processes. Microphysical properties like size distribution and number concentrations in different size ranges will contribute to the characterization. Size selective CCN measurements will be linked to the observed changes in composition and oxidation state, allowing for an assessment of the influence of MPC emissions on cloud formation. Additionally, transport of the aerosol particles by deep convection into the Tropical Transition Layer (TTL) acting as a "gateway" to the lower stratosphere will be investigated.

主要人口中心（MPC）代表了人为气体和颗粒污染物的大集中源。HALO使命EMeRGe的重点是调查这些排放物在自由对流层和对流层上层的MPC流出中的大气传输和转化过程。在这里，我们建议使用气溶胶质谱与云凝结核（CCN）的测量和其他气溶胶仪器的详细表征的气溶胶相关的过程中流出的MPC。紧凑型飞行时间气溶胶质谱仪（C-ToF-AMS）与单粒子烟尘光度计（SP2）一起可以对亚微米气溶胶成分进行完整的化学表征，并检测光化学转化过程。微物理性质，如尺寸分布和不同尺寸范围内的数量浓度将有助于表征。选择性云凝结核的尺寸测量将与观察到的成分和氧化态的变化相联系，从而可以评估MPC排放对云形成的影响。此外，还将研究气溶胶粒子通过深对流输送到热带过渡层（TTL），该层是通往平流层下部的“门户”。
