Organic Aerosol Components Observed in Northern Hemispheric Datasets from Aerosol Mass Spectrometry
In this study we compile and present results from the factor analysis of 43 Aerosol Mass Spectrometer (AMS) datasets (27 of the datasets are reanalyzed in this work). The components from all sites, when taken together, provide a holistic overview of Northern Hemisphere organic aerosol (OA) and its evolution in the atmosphere. At most sites, the OA can be separated into oxygenated OA (OOA), hydr...
متن کاملEvaluating the mixing of organic aerosol components using high-resolution aerosol mass spectrometry.
According to the pseudo-ideal mixing assumption employed in practically all chemical transport models, organic aerosol components from different sources interact with each other in a single solution, independent of their composition. This critical assumption greatly affects modeled organic aerosol concentrations, but there is little direct experimental evidence to support it. A main experimenta...
متن کاملInvestigating types and sources of organic aerosol in Rocky Mountain National Park using aerosol mass spectrometry
The environmental impacts of atmospheric particles are highlighted in remote areas where visibility and ecosystem health can be degraded by even relatively low particle concentrations. Submicron particle size, composition, and source apportionment were explored at Rocky Mountain National Park using a High-Resolution Time-of-Flight Aerosol Mass Spectrometer. This summer campaign found low averag...
متن کاملOn-line analysis of organic components in fine and ultrafine particles by photoionization aerosol mass spectrometry.
A new method, photoionization aerosol mass spectrometry (PIAMS), is described for real-time analysis of organic components in airborne particles below approximately 300 nm in diameter. Particles are focused through an aerodynamic lens assembly into the mass spectrometer where they are collected on a probe in the source region. After a sufficient amount of sample has been collected, the probe is...
متن کاملChanges in Organic Aerosol Composition with Aging Inferred from Aerosol Mass Spectra
Organic aerosols (OA) can be separated with factor analysis of aerosol mass spectrometer (AMS) data into hydrocarbon-like OA (HOA) and oxygenated OA (OOA). We develop a new method to parameterize H:C of OOA in terms of f43 (ratio of m/z 43, mostly C2H3O, to total signal in the component mass spectrum). Such parameterization allows for the transformation of large database of ambient OOA componen...
