Mixing State, Morphology, and Chemical Composition of Ship-Emitted Soot Revealed by UAV-Based Plume Observations
= 2.34). This overall size-morphology pattern remained broadly similar across operational modes. Higher engine loads were associated with larger and less compact soot aggregates, and lower-sulfur fuels appeared to suppress particle growth. These results provide the first in situ constraints for improving representation of ship-emitted soot in climate models and support targeted emission controls to mitigate climate effects.
