Measurement report: Bio-physicochemistry of tropical clouds at Maïdo (Réunion, Indian Ocean): overview of results from the BIO-MAÏDO campaign
Aerosols are essential components in the atmosphere as a result of their role in the radiative budget of the earth, including their indirect impact by acting as cloud condensation nuclei (CCN) and ice nuclei (IN) in the formation of cloud droplets and ice crystals. Their impact on climate is still uncertain (Boucher et al., 2013). Aerosols are also a major contributor to air pollution, and their health effects have been demonstrated (World Health Organization, 2021). However, there are still major uncertainties in the formation and transformation of atmospheric aerosols. These uncertainties need to be removed to understand the impacts of these particles on air quality, health and climate change. Atmospheric aerosols have a complex chemical composition, and the organic fraction, which contributes significantly to the total mass of fine particles (Jimenez et al., 2009), is still the least characterized to date. Three-dimensional atmospheric chemistry models are globally unable to reproduce the observed amount, oxidation level and spatial distribution of organic aerosols (Heald et al., 2011; Jathar et al., 2016; Pai et al., 2020).

Dicen Que Soy
1994 studio album by La India
Dicen Que Soy (They Say That I Am) is the third studio album by Puerto Rican recording artist La India released on September 20, 1994, by RMM Records. The album was produced by American musician Sergio George, who chose the songs for India to record with an emphasis on feminism to suit with her voice. The production mixes salsa music with other rhythms such as funk and timba. Five singles were released from the record with "Nunca Voy a Olvidarte" and "Ese Hombre" topping the Billboard Tropical Songs chart.
Dicen Que Soy was well received by music critics for the arrangement and selection of songs for the album. The success of the record led to India receiving a Billboard Latin Music Award and a Lo Nuestro nomination. In the United States, it peaked at number four and one on the Billboard Top Latin Albums and Tropical Albums charts respectively, and has sold over 140,000 copies as of 2000.
Background
[edit]Following the release of her debut studio album, Breaking Night (1989), La India went on to produce When the Night is Over (1991), a collaboration between her then-husband Little Louie Vega and Marc Anthony. Both albums were recorded at the time when freestyle music's popularity was beginning to wane
