Partitioning of Aerosol Particles in Mixed-phase Clouds at a High Alpine Site
2007
6 German Aerospace Centre, D-82234, Wessling, Germany * Now at Institute for Atmospheric and Climate Science, ETH Zurich, 8092 Zurich, Switzerland Abstract The partitioning of aerosol particles between the cloud and the interstitial phase (i.e., unactivated aerosol) has been investigated during several Cloud and Aerosol Characterization Experiments (CLACE) conducted in winter and summer 2004 and winter 2005 at the high alpine research station Jungfraujoch (3,580 m altitude, Switzerland). Ambient air was sampled using different inlets in order to determine the scavenged fraction of aerosol particles, F Scav , and of black carbon, F Scav,BC . They denote the fraction of the aerosol volume con…
Single particle characterization of black carbon aerosols at a tropospheric alpine site in Switzerland
2010
The refractory black carbon (rBC) mass, size distribution (190–720 nm) and mixing state in sub-micron aerosols were characterized from late February to March 2007 using a single particle incandescence method at the high alpine research station Jungfraujoch (JFJ), Switzerland (46.33° N, 7.59° E, 3580 m a.s.l.). JFJ is a ground based location, which is at times exposed to continental free tropospheric air. A median mass absorption coefficient (MAC) of 10.2&plusmn;3.2 m<sup>2</sup> g<sup>−1</sup> at &lambda;=630 nm was derived by comparing single particle incandescence measurements of black carbon mass with continuous measurements of absorption coefficient.
