Short summary
Recent advances in high-resolution time-of-flight chemical ionization mass spectrometry (CIMS) enable the detection of highly oxygenated organic molecules, which efficiently contribute to secondary organic aerosol. Here we present an application of fuzzy c-means (FCM) clustering  to deconvolve CIMS data. FCM not only reduces the complexity of mass spectrometric data but also the chemical and kinetic information retrieved by clustering gives insights into the chemical processes involved.
