Short summary
In this study, we analyzed the 10-year variation of aerosol pH in six Canadian cities and found the variation is largely attributed to the seasonal cycling of ambient temperature. We also found that in different seasons the pH sensitivity to chemical composition is distinctly different. This finding suggests the sensitivity of aerosol pH to chemical composition needs to be carefully examined for any particular region.
In this study, we analyzed the 10-year variation of aerosol pH in six Canadian cities and found...
