Just Accepted “Just Accepted” manuscripts have been peer-reviewed and accepted for publication. They are posted online prior to technical editing, formatting for publication and author proofing. The American Chemical Society provides “Just Accepted” as a service to the research community to expedite the dissemination of scientific material as soon as possible after acceptance. “Just Accepted” manuscripts appear in full in PDF format accompanied by an HTML abstract. “Just Accepted” manuscripts have been fully peer reviewed, but should not be considered the official version of record. They are citable by the Digital Object Identifier (DOI®). “Just Accepted” is an optional service offered to authors. Therefore, the “Just Accepted” Web site may not include all articles that will be published in the journal. After a manuscript is technically edited and formatted, it will be removed from the “Just Accepted” Web site and published as an ASAP article. Note that technical editing may introduce minor changes to the manuscript text and/or graphics which could affect content, and all legal disclaimers and ethical guidelines that apply to the journal pertain.

Abstract: This manuscript highlights the first multi-week size-resolved analysis of high-resolution (HR) mass spectra from the Aerodyne aerosol mass spectrometer (AMS). High-resolution analysis allows for separation of isobaric interferences in the mass spectra and provides a more detailed view of the dynamic process by which both aerosol composition and size distribution change in the atmosphere. The data used in this analysis was obtained in the Indo-Gangetic Plain (IGP) during the winter of 2016 from 1-31 January. We report the temporal variations of particulate matter
