The data include particle light scattering (σsp) and hemispheric backscattering (σbsp) coefficients, scattering Ångström exponent (SAE), backscatter fraction (BF) and asymmetry parameter (g). An increasing gradient of σsp is observed when moving from remote environments (arctic/mountain) to regional and to urban environments. At a regional level in Europe, σsp also increases when moving from Nordic and Baltic countries and from western Europe to central/eastern Europe, whereas no clear spatial gradient is observed for other station environments. The SAE does not show a clear gradient as a function of the placement of the station. However, a west-to-east-increasing gradient is observed for both regional and mountain placements, suggesting a lower fraction of fine-mode particle in western/south-western Europe compared to central and eastern Europe, where the fine-mode particles dominate the scattering. The g does not show any clear gradient by station placement or geographical location reflecting the complex relationship of this parameter with the physical properties of the aerosol particles. Both the station placement and the geographical location are important factors affecting the intra-annual variability. At mountain sites, higher σsp and SAE values are measured in the summer due to the enhanced boundary layer influence and/or new particle-formation episodes. Conversely, the lower horizontal and vertical dispersion during winter leads to higher σsp values at all low-altitude sites in central and eastern Europe compared to summer. These sites also show SAE maxima in the summer (with corresponding g minima). At all sites, both SAE and g show a strong variation with aerosol particle loading. The lowest values of g are always observed together with low σsp values, indicating a larger contribution from particles in the smaller accumulation mode. During periods of high σsp values, the variation of g is less pronounced, whereas the SAE increases or decreases, suggesting changes mostly in the coarse aerosol particle mode rather than in the fine mode. Statistically significant decreasing trends of σsp are observed at 5 out of the 13 stations included in the trend analyses. The total reductions of σsp are consistent with those reported for PM2.5 and PM10 mass concentrations over similar periods across Europe.01A - Beitrag in wissenschaftlicher Zeitschrift
- PublikationCharacterization and intercomparison of aerosol absorption photometers. result of two intercomparison workshops(Copernicus, 2011) Müller, Thomas; Henzing, Bas; de Leeuw, Gerrit; Wiedensohler, Alfred; Alastuey, Andrés; Angelov, H.; Bizjak, Milan; Collaud Coen, Martine; Engström, J. E.; Gruening, Carsten; Hillamo, Risto; Hoffer, András; Imre, Kornélia; Ivanow, Petko; Jennings, Stephen G.; Sun, Junying; Kalivitis, Nikos; Karlsson, Hanna; Komppula, Mikka; Laj, Paolo; Li, S.-M.; Lunder, Chris; Marinoni, Angela; Martins dos Santos, Sebastiao; Moerman, Marcel; Nowak, Andreas; Ogren, John A.; Petzold, Andreas; Pichon, Jean Marc; Rodriquez, Sergio; Sharma, Sangeeta; Sheridan, Patrick J.; Teinilä, Kimmo; Tuch, Thomas; Viana, Mar; Virkkula, Aki; Weingartner, Ernest; Wilhelm, R.; Wang, Yaqiang [in: Atmospheric Measurement Techniques]Absorption photometers for real time application have been available since the 1980s, but the use of filter-based instruments to derive information on aerosol properties (absorption coefficient and black carbon, BC) is still a matter of debate. Several workshops have been conducted to investigate the performance of individual instruments over the intervening years. Two workshops with large sets of aerosol absorption photometers were conducted in 2005 and 2007. The data from these instruments were corrected using existing methods before further analysis. The inter-comparison shows a large variation between the responses to absorbing aerosol particles for different types of instruments. The unit to unit variability between instruments can be up to 30% for Particle Soot Absorption Photometers (PSAPs) and Aethalometers. Multi Angle Absorption Photometers (MAAPs) showed a variability of less than 5%. Reasons for the high variability were identified to be variations in sample flow and spot size. It was observed that different flow rates influence system performance with respect to response to absorption and instrumental noise. Measurements with non absorbing particles showed that the current corrections of a cross sensitivity to particle scattering are not sufficient. Remaining cross sensitivities were found to be a function of the total particle load on the filter. The large variation between the response to absorbing aerosol particles for different types of instruments indicates that current correction functions for absorption photometers are not adequate.01A - Beitrag in wissenschaftlicher Zeitschrift
