| Zusammenfassung |
| Atmospheric aerosol vertical distributions were measured above Svalbard,
Norway, in April 2011 during the Cooperative Investigation of
Climate-Cryosphere Interactions campaign (CICCI). Measurements were made of
the particle number concentration and the aerosol light absorption
coefficient at three wavelengths. A filter sample was collected on each
flight at the altitude of maximum particle number concentration. The filters
were analyzed for major anions and cations. The aerosol payload was flown in
a NOAA/PMEL MANTA Unmanned Aerial System (UAS). A total of 18 flights were
flown during the campaign totaling 38 flight hours. The data show frequent
aerosol layers aloft with high particle number concentration
(1000 cm−3) and enhanced aerosol light absorption (1 Mm−1). Air
mass histories of these aerosol layers were assessed using FLEXPART particle
dispersion modeling. The data contribute to an assessment of sources of BC to
the Arctic and potential climate impacts. |
