Atmospheric Aerosol Properties & Interactions
Anthropogenic/polluted vs. natural/pristine conditions Aerosol effects on radiation, clouds and precipitation
1 s time resolution
CCN-200: Dual Column Cloud Condensation - CCN number concentration (NCCN) A: S = 0.3 % (constant) B: S = 0.1 – 0.9 % (scanning)
SP-2: Single Particle Soot Photometer: - Black Carbon (BC) size distribution - Scatter Particle (SC) size distribution - BC coating
Impactor: Aerosol sampling
- microstructure - composition - e.g. SEM-EDX, STXM-NEXAFS
HALO-CCN-Rack
EMeRGe Asia & EMeRGe Europe Field Campaigns
Vertical Profile of CCN & BC
Elevated aerosol loading up to ~4 km
Elevated aerosol concentrations in Asia, in comparison to Europe
Rome Case Studie
Flight map E_EU_03 (11 July 2017), thickness of flight track indicates altitude (thick = low, thin = high)
Sentinel 2 image of wild fires– one day ahead of measurements
HYSPLIT forward trajectories from Rome
This flight shows higher NCCN from biomass burning in comparison to Rome city plume
Air mass origin Air mass measured
Summary
Largest number concentrations of anthropogenic aerosol in boundary layer – steep decrease with altitude
Similar shape of vertical profile in Asia & Europe with larger concentrations in Asia
Higher NCCN for biomass burning aerosol in comparison to urban plume from Rome
