Aerosol Biogeochemical cycles, Sources and TRansport processes in the climate-sensitive ArCTic - ABSTRACT

Dataset consists in: Aerosol load, Ion, metal, EC/OC measurements on bulk and size-segregated particulate matter at Gruvebadet Observatory (Ny Alesund - Italian Station "Dirigibile Italia") using Aerosol sampling and measurement devices (TECORA ECHO-PM, TECORA Skypost, TECORA HI-VOL, FAI PBL, TSI SMPS, TSI APS - Ion Chromatographs, ICP-AES, Thermo-Optical Analyzer, ICP-MS)

Aerosol measurements and sampling. Atmospheric Particle Size Distribution. SMPS (10-500 nm) and APS (0.5-20 um). PM10 aerosol low volume sampling for determination of ions and metals: continuous 24/48h resolution samplings. Multi-stage impactor (Dekati 4-stage: < 1 um - > 10 um) for measurement of ion composition: 4-day resolution sampling. PM10 medium volume sampling for determination of metal content and Pb isotope ratios: 4-d resolution samplings. PM10 on quartz filters for determination of Elemental od Organic Carbon (EC/OC): continuous 24/48 h resolution samplings. PM10 aerosol low volume sampling on PTFE for elemental determination by PIXE technique.
