| Opis: | Atmospheric new particle formation (NPF) is a common phenomenon all over
the world. In this study we present the longest time series of NPF records in
the eastern Mediterranean region by analyzing 10 years of aerosol number size
distribution data obtained with a mobility particle sizer. The measurements
were performed at the Finokalia environmental research station on Crete,
Greece, during the period June 2008–June 2018. We found that NPF took place
on 27 % of the available days, undefined days were 23 % and non-event
days 50 %. NPF is more frequent in April and May probably due to the
terrestrial biogenic activity and is less frequent in August. Throughout the
period under study, nucleation was observed also during the night. Nucleation
mode particles had the highest concentration in winter and early spring,
mainly because of the minimum sinks, and their average contribution to the
total particle number concentration was 8 %. Nucleation mode particle
concentrations were low outside periods of active NPF and growth, so there
are hardly any other local sources of sub-25 nm particles. Additional
atmospheric ion size distribution data simultaneously collected for more than
2 years were also analyzed. Classification of NPF events based on ion
spectrometer measurements differed from the corresponding classification
based on a mobility spectrometer, possibly indicating a different
representation of local and regional NPF events between these two measurement
data sets. We used the MALTE-Box model
for simulating a case study of NPF in the eastern Mediterranean region.
Monoterpenes contributing to NPF can explain a large fraction of the observed
NPF events according to our model simulations. However the adjusted
parameterization resulting from our sensitivity tests was significantly
different from the initial one that had been determined for the boreal
environment. |
