This study analyzed the variability of equivalent black carbon (eBC) mass concentrations and their sources in urban Europe to provide insights into use eBC as an advanced air quality (AQ) parameter for AQ standards. compiled concentration datasets covering period between 2006 2022 from 50 measurement stations, including 23 background (UB), 18 traffic (TR), 7 suburban (SUB), 2 regional (RB) sites. The results highlighted need harmonization measurements allow direct comparisons measured across...
Abstract. The Chemistry-Aerosol Mediterranean Experiment (ChArMEx; http://charmex.lsce.ipsl.fr) is a collaborative research program federating international activities to investigate regional chemistry-climate interactions. A special observing period (SOP-1a) including intensive airborne measurements was performed in the framework of Aerosol Direct Radiative Impact on climate MEDiterranean region (ADRIMED) project during dry season over western and central basins, with focus...
Abstract. This study aims to determine the mineral contribution PM10 in central Mediterranean Sea, based on 7 yr of daily samplings made island Lampedusa (35.5° N, 12.6° E). The chemical composition samples was determined by ion chromatography for main ions, and, selected samples, particle-induced X-ray emission (PIXE) total content crustal markers. Aerosol optical depth measurements were carried out parallel sampling. average concentration at over period June 2004–December 2010 is 31.5 μg...
An unprecedented extreme Saharan dust event was registered in winter time from 20 to 23 February 2017 over the Iberian Peninsula (IP). We report on aerosol optical properties observed under this intrusion through passive and active remote sensing techniques. For that, AERONET (AErosol RObotic NETwork) EARLINET (European Aerosol Research LIdar databases are used. The sites considered are: Barcelona (41.38°N, 2.17°E), Burjassot (39.51°N, 0.42°W), Cabo da Roca (38.78°N, 9.50°W), Évora (38.57°N,...
Abstract. Megacities and other major population centres (MPCs) worldwide are sources of air pollution, both locally as well downwind. The overall assessment prediction the impact MPC pollution on tropospheric chemistry challenging. present work provides an overview highlights a new contribution to understanding this issue based data analysis EMeRGe (Effect transport transformation pollutants Regional Global scales) international project. focuses atmospheric chemistry, dynamics, local...
Abstract Desert dust interacts with shortwave (SW) and longwave (LW) radiation, influencing the Earth radiation budget atmospheric vertical structure. Uncertainties on role are large in LW spectral range, where few measurements available optical properties not well constrained. The first airborne of irradiance profiles over Mediterranean were carried out during Ground‐based Airborne Measurements Aerosol Radiative Forcing (GAMARF) campaign, which took place spring 2008 at island Lampedusa....
Abstract. Detailed measurements of radiation, atmospheric and aerosol properties were carried out in summer 2013 during the Aerosol Direct Radiative Impact on regional climate MEDiterranean region (ADRIMED) campaign framework Chemistry-Aerosol Mediterranean Experiment (ChArMEx) experiment. This study focusses characterization infrared (IR) optical direct radiative effects mineral dust, based three vertical profiles IR broadband narrowband radiation from airborne measurements, made...
Abstract. The Mediterranean basin is characterized by large concentrations of aerosols from both natural and anthropogenic sources. These affect tropospheric photochemistry modulating the photolytic rates. Three simulations atmospheric composition at scale have been performed with CHIMERE chemistry-transport model for period 6 June to 15 July 2013 covered ADRIMED campaign, a campaign intense measurements in western basin. One simulation takes into account radiative effect on photochemistry,...
The Digital Airborne Imaging Spectrometer Experiment (DAISEX) was carried out for the European Space Agency (ESA) in order to develop potential of spaceborne imaging spectroscopy a range different scientific applications. DAISEX involved simultaneous data acquisitions using airborne spectrometers over test sites southeast Spain (Barrax) and Upper Rhine valley (Colmar, France, Hartheim, Germany). This paper presents results corresponding column‐integrated aerosol optical properties from...
Four methods have been used for the estimation of total cloud amount and low clouds: visual observations, Long method applied on pyranometer measurements, Automatic Partial Cloud Amount Detection Algorithm (APCADA) pyrgeometers ceilometer measurements base height. Records from meteorological observers indicate that clear days (0–1 octa) represent most frequent clouds. In contrast, is more aleatory. Results obtained show maximum frequency in extreme values. The APCADA also indicates...
Abstract. EMeRGe (Effect of Megacities on the transport and transformation pollutants Regional to Global scales) is an international project focusing atmospheric chemistry, dynamics local regional pollution originating in megacities other major population centres (MPCs). Airborne measurements, taking advantage long range capabilities HALO research platform (High Altitude Long aircraft, www.halo-spp.de), are a central part project. In order provide adequate set measurements at different...
We propose a methodological approach to provide the accurate and calibrated measurements of sky radiance broadband solar irradiance using High Dynamic Range (HDR) images sky-camera. This is based on detailed instrumental characterization SONA sky-camera in terms image acquisition processing, as well geometric radiometric calibrations. As result, 1 min time resolution database geometrically radiometrically HDR has been created available since February 2020, with daily updates. An extensive...
<para xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink"> The elastic lidar equation contains two unknown atmospheric parameters, namely, the particulate optical extinction and backscatter coefficients, which are related through ratio (i.e., particulate-extinction-to-backscatter ratio). So far, independent inversion of signal has been carried out by means Raman lidars (usually limited to nighttime measurements), high-spectral-resolution lidars, or...
Abstract. A Microtops II "ozone monitor" with UV channels centered at 305.5, 312.5, and 320 nm has been used routinely in six experimental campaigns carried out several geographic locations seasons, covering latitudes from 35 to 68° N during the last ten years (2001–2011). The total ozone content is retrieved by using different combinations (Channel I, 305.5/312.5 nm; Channel II, 312.5/320 III, 305.5/312.5/320 nm) of signals three ultraviolet wavelengths. long-term performance determination...

Atmospheric aerosols have an uncertain effect on climate and serious impacts human health. The uncertainty in the aerosols' role has several sources. First, great spatial temporal variability. variability arises from fact that emitted a certain place can travel thousands of kilometers, swept by winds to modify destination region's climate. also means are inhomogeneously distributed vertical direction, which lead differential energy balance depending altitude. On other hand, experience...
