Short summary
In this work, we show how aerosol particles in city air change their ability to scatter light when exposed to humidity, which affects the climate. Using a simpler tool, we found that in Prague's suburbs, these particles showed only a small change in light scattering, likely due to carbon-rich pollution that effectively absorbs light. Our method helps to reduce certain types of measurement uncertainty and helps fill gaps in urban climate data.
