Zusammenfassung |
Boundary layer concentrations of several volatile organic compounds (VOC)
were measured during two campaigns in springs of 2003 and 2006. The
measurements were conducted over boreal landscapes near SMEAR II measurement
station in Hyytiälä, Southern Finland. In 2003 the measuremens were
performed using a light aircraft and in 2006 using a hot air balloon.
Isoprene concentrations were low, usually below detection limit. This can be
explained by low biogenic production due to cold weather, phenological stage
of the isoprene emitting plants, and snow cover. Monoterpenes were observed
frequently. The average total monoterpene concentration in the boundary
layer was 33 pptv. Many anthropogenic compounds such as benzene, xylene
and toluene, were observed in high amounts. Ecosystem scale surface
emissions were estimated using a simple mixed box budget methodology. Total
monoterpene emissions varied up to 80 μg m−2 h−1, α-pinene contributing typically more than two thirds of that. These emissions were somewhat higher that those calculated using emission
algorithm. The highest emissions of anthropogenic compounds were those of
p/m xylene. |
