The Integrated Carbon Observation System (ICOS) is the reference Research Infrastructure (RI) for observation of greenhouse gases (GHGs) across Europe, providing standardised, long-term and high-precision measurements most relevant species (CO2, CH4, CO, etc.). ICOS Atmosphere network currently extends throughout continent, although density stations in Mediterranean area still low compared to Central Northern Europe. In this context, recently implemented class 1 continental station near...
This study presents a detailed analysis of the optical and microphysical properties biomass burning aerosols from two distinct smoke plumes observed on 16 July 2024 at CIAO atmospheric observatory in Potenza, Italy. The lower layer corresponds to local wildfire, while upper correspond  a long-range transported plume Canada. objective is highlight significant differences their characteristics impacts.The fire was characterized not only with lidar measurements, but all remote sensing...
Abstract In the field of cultural heritage restoration, removal iron corrosion stains is a difficult problem to deal with, especially in stone materials. Many studies recent years have been aimed at finding simple and reliable methods using non-toxic chelating compounds. The search for natural compounds therefore great relevance, conservation heritage, where use toxic chemical often involves risks environment human health. Following this trend, purpose preliminary work was verify two...
Abstract. This paper describes the aerosol in-situ laboratory at CIAO (CNR IMAA Atmospheric Observatory) in South Italy, outlining its configuration and detailing each instrument sampling lines. The observatory has been collecting observations of atmospheric components since 2000. Initially activities revolved around lidar, later radiosounding cloud remote sensing were added over years made a leading Mediterranean region. In 2018, significant upgrade started for enhancing observational...
We report on the XPS analysis of degraded surfaces inside San Pietro Barisano, rupestrian church carved into calcarenite rock ancient Matera, which has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1993. As reported in previous works, “Sassi” district and park churches were available as open laboratories for National Smart Cities SCN_00520 research project dedicated to sustainable recovery this remarkable architectural heritage. In that context, functionality was shown reside possibility analyzing...
The investigation focused on the deterioration of walls in hypogeum "San Pietro Barisano" rupestrian church, located Matera-Sassi (Southern Italy), one UNESCO World Heritage sites. study evaluated biocide activity a mixture natural glycoalkaloids (GAs) extracted from unripe fruit Solanum nigrum and applied to clean wall surface church affected by bio-patinas. analyzed bio-patina, collected before treatment and, at pre-established times, after treatment, showed changes chemical composition...
Human health, air quality, atmospheric visibility, and climate are affected by aerosol particles. In order to understand these effects, the study of their physical chemical characteristics highly needed. Ground based in-situ remote sensing measurement platforms crucial tools for continuous monitoring evaluation quality. At Istituto di Metodologie per l’Analisi Ambientale Italian National Research Council (CNR-IMAA) advanced observatory, named CIAO, has recently been upgraded with...
