Effects of model resolution on the interpretation of satellite NO<sub>2</sub> observationsCopernicus GmbH - Tập 11 Số 22 - Trang 11647-11655
L. C. Valin, A. R. Russell, R. C. Hudman, R. C. Cohen
Abstract. Inference of NOx emissions (NO+NO2) from satellite observations of tropospheric NO2 column requires knowledge of NOx lifetime, usually provided by chemical transport models (CTMs). However, it is known that species subject to non-linear sources or sinks, such as ozone, are susceptible to biases in coarse-resolution CTMs. Here we compute the resolution-dependent bias in predicted ...... hiện toàn bộ
Impact of model grid spacing on regional- and urban- scale air quality predictions of organic aerosolCopernicus GmbH - Tập 11 Số 7 - Trang 3107-3118
Craig Stroud, Paul A. Makar, Michael D. Moran, Wei Gong, Sunling Gong, Jiangyi Zhang, Katherine Hayden, C. Mihele, Jeffrey R. Brook, Jonathan P. D. Abbatt, Jay G. Slowik
Abstract. Regional-scale chemical transport model predictions of urban organic aerosol to date tend to be biased low relative to observations, a limitation with important implications for applying such models to human exposure health studies. We used a nested version of Environment Canada's AURAMS model (42- to- 15- to- 2.5-km nested grid spacing) to predict organic aerosol concentrations ...... hiện toàn bộ
Evolution of the chemical fingerprint of biomass burning organic aerosol during agingCopernicus GmbH - Tập 18 Số 10 - Trang 7607-7624

Abstract. A thermal desorption aerosol gas chromatograph coupled to a high resolution – time of flight – aerosol mass spectrometer (TAG-AMS) was connected to an atmospheric chamber for the molecular characterization of the evolution of organic aerosol (OA) emitted by woodstove appliances for residential heating. Two log woodstoves (old and modern) and one pellet stove were operated under t...... hiện toàn bộ
Bulk and molecular-level characterization of laboratory-aged biomass burning organic aerosol from oak leaf and heartwood fuelsCopernicus GmbH - Tập 18 Số 3 - Trang 2199-2224
Claire Fortenberry, Michael J. Walker, Yaping Zhang, Dhruv Mitroo, W. H. Brune, Brent J. Williams
Abstract. The chemical complexity of biomass burning organic aerosol (BBOA) greatly increases with photochemical aging in the atmosphere, necessitating controlled laboratory studies to inform field observations. In these experiments, BBOA from American white oak (Quercus alba) leaf and heartwood samples was generated in a custom-built emissions and combustion chamber and photochemically ag...... hiện toàn bộ
The vertical distribution of aerosols, Saharan dust and cirrus clouds in Rome (Italy) in the year 2001Copernicus GmbH - Tập 4 Số 2 - Trang 351-359
Gian Paolo Gobbi, Francesca Barnaba, L. Ammannato
Abstract. A set of 813 lidar profiles of tropospheric aerosol and cirrus clouds extinction and depolarization observed in Rome, Italy, between February 2001 and February 2002 is analyzed and discussed. The yearly record reveals a meaningful contribution of both cirrus clouds (38%) and Saharan dust (12%) to the total optical thickness (OT) of 0.26, at 532nm. Seasonal analysis shows the plan...... hiện toàn bộ

Molina, G. Sosa, J. L. Jimenez
Abstract. Submicron aerosol was analyzed during the MILAGRO field campaign in March 2006 at the T0 urban supersite in Mexico City with a High-Resolution Time-of-Flight Aerosol Mass Spectrometer (HR-ToF-AMS) and complementary instrumentation. Mass concentrations, diurnal cycles, and size distributions of inorganic and organic species are similar to results from the CENICA supersite in April...... hiện toàn bộ

Abstract. An Aerodyne Aerosol Mass Spectrometer (AMS) was deployed at the CENICA Supersite, during the Mexico City Metropolitan Area field study (MCMA-2003) from 31 March-4 May 2003 to investigate particle concentrations, sources, and processes. The AMS provides real time information on mass concentration and composition of the non-refractory species in particulate matter less than 1 µm (N...... hiện toàn bộ
Long-term historical trends in air pollutant emissions in Asia: Regional Emission inventory in ASia (REAS) version 3Copernicus GmbH - Tập 20 Số 21 - Trang 12761-12793
Junichi Kurokawa, Toshimasa Ohara
Abstract. A long-term historical emission inventory of air and
climate pollutants in East, Southeast, and South Asia during 1950–2015 was developed as the Regional Emission inventory in ASia version 3 (REASv3).
REASv3 provides details of emissions from major anthropogenic sources for
each country and its sub-regions and also provides monthly gridded data with
0.25∘ × 0.25∘ resolution. The ...... hiện toàn bộ
