	<abstract content_type="html">Soot particles are major aerosol constituents that result from emissions of
burning of fossil fuel and biomass. Because they both absorb sunlight and
contribute to cloud formation, they are an influence on climate on local,
regional, and global scales. It is therefore important to evaluate their
optical and hygroscopic properties and those effects on the radiation
budget. Those properties commonly change through reaction with other
particles or gases, resulting in complex internal mixtures. Using
transmission electron microscopy, we measured ~8000 particles (25 samples) with aerodynamic diameters
from 0.05 to 0.3 μm that were collected in March 2006 from aircraft over Mexico City (MC) and adjacent
areas. More than 50% of the particles consist of internally mixed soot,
organic matter, and sulfate. Imaging combined with chemical analysis of
individual particles show that many are coated, consist of aggregates, or
both. Coatings on soot particles can amplify their light absorption, and
coagulation with sulfates changes their hygroscopic properties, resulting in
shorter lifetime. Our results suggest that a mixture of materials from
multiple sources such as vehicles, power plants, and biomass burning occurs
in individual particles, thereby increasing their complexity. Through
changes in their optical and hygroscopic properties, internally mixed soot
particles have a greater effect on the regional climate than uncoated soot
particles. Moreover, soot occurs in more than 60% of all particles in the
MC plumes, suggesting its important role in the formation of secondary
aerosol particles.</abstract>
