Sampling of PM10 aerosol using a cascade impactor to define the chemical composition in six different size stages. The quartz filters were extracted with ultrapure water and water soluble species were determined: major ions, MSA, carboxylic acids, amino acids, sugars, phenolic compounds, and other organic water-soluble emergening pollutants.

Ice Nuclei Particle Concentration (INPAIR) INPAIR Svalbard' Chemistry and Physics of the Atmosphere: Ice nucleating particle (INPs) concentration obtained in spring and summer campaigns in the Arctic Region. Measurements of INPs concentrations and activation fraction of aerosol in Arctic (e.g. Gruvebadet observatory in Ny-Ãlesund). b) Correlating INPs concentration with meteorological parameters and physicochemical characterisations. Instrument: PM1 and PM10 sampling lines. DFPC chamber

Mixing state and organic volume fractions of sub micron aerosol particles collected at the Zeppelin observatory

Monitoring of Aerosol: Short and Long range source areas related to Climate Change (MAShLoCC) During the Arctic campaign 2010, an atmospheric aerosol sampling at the Gruvebadet observatory has been carried out in order to obtain information about the formation and composition of atmospheric aerosol, transport processes toward the Arctic zone as well as local and remote source areas. Instrument : ICP-SFMS, IRMS, Orbitrap

Aerosol size distribution (>500 nm) measured by a SMPS 3321 (TSI).

Sulphate contributions to PM10 aerosol sampled at Gruvebadet Observatory (Ny-Ålesund)

Aerosol size distribution (10-500 nm) measured by a APS 3321

Aerosol scattering coefficient at 1 wavelength (530 nm) measured using a nephelometer M903 manufactured by Radiance Research and absorption coefficient at 7 wavelengths (370, 470, 520, 590, 660, 880, 950 nm) measured using an AETHALOMETER AE33 from Aerosol Magee Scientific.

Aerosol Flux in Arctic (ALFA) Evaluate aerosol dry deposition/emission in the Arctic on icy/snowy surface and its dependence on particle size and micrometeorological parameters. The measures of the particles exchange rate will be carried out with the technique of eddy-correlation at Ny Alesund in size-segregated mode (2-3000 nm) coupling a sonic anemometer, a CPC and an optical particle counter (OPC) that are able to detect fluctuations of the particles concentration at high frequency (1Hz).
