Lili had the opportunity to present her recent results at the University of Florida’s Air Quality Workshop. Lili’s research has involved investigating how different methods for calculating cloud droplet number concentration can impact the observed signal of a major shipping corridor in the Southeast Atlantic before and after changes to international regulations on sulfur content in shipping fuels. Her findings suggest that while all filtering methods consistently show changes to the increase of droplet number concentrations in the years following the shipping regulation, the relative difference is large enough between the sampling methods that the filtering used to calculate droplet number concentration is an important consideration for quantifying aerosol-cloud interactions.
