Emissions of volatile organic compounds from Norway spruce and potential atmospheric impacts
Published biogenic volatile organic compound (BVOC) emission rates of Norway spruces vary a lot. In this study we combined published Norway spruce emission rates measured in boreal forests and added our new, unpublished emission data from Southern (SF ...

OH reactivity from the emissions of different tree species: investigating the missing reactivity in a boreal forest [PDF]
In forested area, a large fraction of total hydroxyl radical (OH) reactivity remains unaccounted for. Very few studies have looked at the variations in total OH reactivity from biogenic emissions.

Applications and limitations of constrained high-resolution peak fitting on low resolving power mass spectra from the ToF-ACSM [PDF]
The applicability, methods and limitations of constrained peak fitting on mass spectra of low mass resolving power (m∕Δm50 ∼ 500) recorded with a time-of-flight aerosol chemical speciation monitor (ToF-ACSM) are explored. Calibration measurements as well

Measuring atmospheric composition change [PDF]
Scientific findings from the last decades have clearly highlighted the need for a more comprehensive approach to atmospheric change processes. In fact, observation of atmospheric composition variables has been an important activity of atmospheric research that has developed instrumental tools (advanced analytical techniques) and platforms (instrumented

Development of four-dimensional variational assimilation system based on the GRAPES–CUACE adjoint model (GRAPES–CUACE-4D-Var V1.0) and its application in emission inversion [PDF]
In this study, a four-dimensional variational (4D-Var) data assimilation system was developed based on the GRAPES–CUACE (Global/Regional Assimilation and PrEdiction System – CMA Unified Atmospheric Chemistry Environmental Forecasting System) atmospheric ...

Sesquiterpenes and oxygenated sesquiterpenes dominate the VOC (C5–C20) emissions of downy birches [PDF]
Biogenic volatile organic compounds (BVOCs) emitted by the forests are known to have strong impacts in the atmosphere. However, lots of missing reactivity is found, especially in the forest air.

Laboratory evaluation of particle-size selectivity of optical low-cost particulate matter sensors [PDF]
Low-cost particulate matter (PM) sensors have been under investigation as it has been hypothesized that the use of low-cost and easy-to-use sensors could allow cost-efficient extension of the currently sparse measurement coverage.
