Physicochemical characteristics of aerosol over the north-east Atlantic during two cruises

Simon O’Meara and Dr Barbara Brooks
Annual Aerosol Science Conference 2012

Two research cruises were completed in the north-east Atlantic targeting high wind conditions.  Measurements of aerosol size spectra were obtained using optical spectrometer probes and particle counters, and composition was measured using a Thermal Volatility System (TVS) and ATOFMS.  Simultaneous meteorological measurements were obtained using an automatic weather station.  The variation of aerosol composition with wind speed and position is presented here and the relative contributions from source regions investigated.  The estimated contribution to radiative forcing from the observed aerosol populations is also presented.

The Aerosol Society recognises the importance of our diverse community and believe that to produce the best quality science we must encourage a proactive and inclusive approach to equality. This can be achieved by developing and retaining a diverse range of talented people to achieve their full potential free from discrimination. We acknowledge our role in engaging with the wider aerosol science community to develop a fair and friendly environment by promoting equality, diversity and inclusion for all, recognising that we come from varying backgrounds and experiences.
