Abstract

In this contribution we discuss the influence of relative humidity on photoacoustic measurements from both an experimental and theoretical perspective. We present a refined model of the photoacoustic (PA) signal that accounts for elevated particle temperatures and different levels of relative humidity. We use this new model together with the photoacoustic data collected with our photothermal single-particle spectrometer (PSPS) to retrieve the mass accommodation coefficients of water on organic aerosol particles. The single-particle nature of our experiments is achieved by employing counter-propagating tweezers. Furthermore, we investigate the influence of relative humidity on the eigenfrequency of the PA cell.
