complementary to that obtained from online analysis. However, its application itself and comparison to online analysis have remained limited to date. In this study, daily submicrometer aerosol particles (PM0.95, 50 % cutoff diameter 0.95 µm) were collected onto quartz fiber filters on Okinawa Island, a receptor of East Asian outflow, in the autumn of 2015. The chemical composition of water-soluble matter (WSM) in PM0.95, PM0.95 itself, and their respective hygroscopicities were characterized through the offline use of an aerosol mass spectrometer and a hygroscopicity tandem differential mobility analyzer. Thereafter, results were compared with those obtained from online analyses. Sulfate dominated the WSM mass (59 %), followed by water-soluble organic matter (WSOM, 20 %) and ammonium (13 %). WSOM accounted for most (91 %) of the mass of extracted organic matter (EOM) and the atomic O-to-C ratios (O : C) of WSOM and EOM were high (mean ± standard deviation were 0.84 ± 0.08 and 0.78 ± 0.08, respectively), both of which indicate highly aged characteristics of the observed aerosol. The hygroscopic growth curves showed clear hysteresis for most samples. At 85 % relative humidity (RH), the calculated hygroscopicity parameter κ values of the WSM (κWSM), WSOM, EOM, andPM0.95 (κPM0.95 ) were 0.50 ± 0.03, 0.22 ± 0.12, 0.20 ± 0.11, and 0.47 ± 0.03, respectively. An analysis using the thermodynamic Extended Aerosol Inorganics Model (E-AIM) shows, on average, that inorganic salts and WSOM contributed 88 % and 12 %, respectively, of the κWSM (or κPM0.95 ). High similarities were found between offline and online analysis for chemical compositions that are related to particle hygroscopicity (the mass fractions and O : C of organics and the degree of neutralization) and also for aerosol hygroscopicity. As possible factors governing the variation in κWSM, the influences of WSOM abundance and the neutralization of inorganic salts were assessed. At high RH (70 %–90 %), the hygroscopicity of WSM and PM0.95 was affected considerably by the presence of organic components; at low RH (20 %–50 %), the degree of neutralization could be important.This study not only characterized aerosol hygroscopicity at the receptor site of East Asian outflow but also shows that offline hygroscopicity analysis is an appropriate method, at least for aerosols of the studied type. The results encourage further applications to other environments and to more in-depth hygroscopicity analysis, in particular for organic fractions.

a suburban site in the Pearl River Delta (PRD) Region and at a marine site in Okinawa, respectively. The results showed that the particle number concentration in PRD is approximately ten times higher than that in Okinawa. Organics contributes about one half of the total NR-PM_1 concentration in PRD, while sulfate is the dominant component (about 60%) in Okinawa. Diurnal variation of the chemical species demonstrated that the site in PRD was affected by trafficrelated sources and industrial emissions, while the one in Okinawa is mainly affected by regional emissions. The V-TDMA measurements showed that a large fraction (20-45%) of particles in Okinawa volatilized at about 200°C and nearly all particles volatilized at about 300°C, indicating that the particles were almost volatile in Okinawa. In contrast, a fraction (15-21%) of particles in PRD did not evaporate even when heated to about 300°C, implying that these particles might contain black carbon or low-volatile organics. For 40-200 nm particles in Okinawa, the hygroscopicity parameter κ is around 0.5, significantly higher than that of PRD particles (κ ≈ 0.26). Particles tend to have bimodal distribution in PRD and unimodal in Okinawa, indicating that the former is externally mixed while the latter is internally mixed.
