Continuous measurements of aerosol physical parameters at the Mt. Cimone GAW Station (2165 m asl, Italy)

Abstract:
Particle size distribution in the range 0.3
Apart from wet scavenging processes which strongly affected aerosol concentrations, combined analysis of N0.3-1, BC, meteorological parameters and air mass back-trajectories, suggests that the transport of polluted air masses from the lower troposphere (by local, regional or long-range transport) represents an important mechanism favouring N0.3-1 and BC increases at Mt. Cimone. In particular, a trajectory statistical analysis for the period July 2005-July 2006 allowed the identification of the main source regions of BC and N0.3-1 for Mt. Cimone: north Italy, west Europe and east Europe
