Elucidating the present-day chemical composition, seasonality and source regions of climate-relevant aerosols across the Arctic land surface
The Arctic is warming two to three times faster than the global average, and the role of aerosols is not well constrained. Aerosol number concentrations can be very low in remote environments, rendering local cloud radiative properties highly sensitive to available aerosol. The composition and sources of the climate-relevant aerosols, affecting Arctic cloud formation and altering their microphysics, remain largely elusive due to a lack of harmoni…
High secondary aerosol contribution to particulate pollution during haze events in China
Changes of hygroscopicity and morphology during ageing of diesel soot
Soot particles are an important component of atmospheric aerosol and their interaction with water is important for their climate effects.The hygroscopicity of fresh and photochemically aged soot and secondary organic aerosol (SOA) from diesel passenger car emissions was studied under atmospherically relevant conditions in a smog chamber at sub-and supersaturation of water vapor.Fresh soot particles show no significant hygroscopic growth nor cloud…
Towards On-Line 14 C Analysis of Carbonaceous Aerosol Fractions
Atmospheric carbonaceous aerosol is traditionally divided into organic carbon (OC) and elemental carbon (EC). Their respective carbon amounts are usually analyzed by means of an OC/EC analyzer and their fossil and non-fossil origins can be determined by radiocarbon analysis, which has proven to be a powerful tool for carbonaceous aerosol source apportionment. Thus far, separation of OC and EC has been performed off-line by manual and time-consumi…
