Nitro - polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons - gas - particle partitioning , mass size 1 distribution , and formation along transport in marine and continental background air
14 Nitro-polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (NPAH) are ubiquitous in polluted air but little is 15 known about their abundance in background air. NPAHs were studied at one marine and one 16 continental background site i.e., a coastal site in the southern Aegean Sea (summer 2012) and 17 a site in the central Great Hungarian Plain (summer 2013), together with the parent 18 compounds, PAHs. A Lagran...

متن کاملThe contribution of boundary layer nucleation events to total particle concentrations on regional and global scales
The contribution of boundary layer (BL) nucleation events to total particle concentrations on the global scale has been studied by including a new particle formation mechanism in a global aerosol microphysics model. The mechanism is based on an analysis of extensive observations of particle formation in the BL at a continental surface site. It assumes that molecular clusters form at a rate prop...

متن کاملParticle formation at a continental background site: comparison of model results with observations
At Hohenpeissenberg (47◦48′N, 11◦07′ E, 988 m asl), a rural site 200 300 m higher than the surrounding terrain, sulphuric acid concentrations, particle size distributions, and other trace gas concentrations were measured over a two and a half year period. Measured particle number concentrations and inferred particle surface area concen5 trations were compared with box-model simulations based on...
