Short summary
Aerosol particles undergo chemical modification during atmospheric transport due to reactions with trace gas species such as OH radicals affecting cloud formation and, thus, prediction of climate. Here, the cloud formation potential of surrogate biomass burning aerosol (BBA) is studied as a function of particle composition and OH exposure. We find that OH oxidation can alter the cloud formation potential of BBA, but its significance depends on the available water-soluble particulate material.
