Evaluation of new data sources for improving the estimation of background concentrations in Norway. NILU OR

Schneider, P.; Obracaj, A.

A previous report (OR 68/2011) described a geostatistical methodology developed for creating a consistent dataset of background concentrations of NO2, O3, PM10, and PM2.5 in Norway, that are representative of a typical year. The resulting dataset has a resolution of 0.1 degrees by 0.1 degrees and is available at hourly temporal resolution. Based on this existing methodology, this study reports on the evaluation of new data sources as a means of improving such estimates of background concentrations. The potential of satellite-derived NO2 data is evaluated for guiding the geostatistics-based spatial interpolation procedure of NO2 station data in Norway. Furthermore, the output from a high-resolution atmospheric model was tested with respect to its capability of improving the spatial and temporal characterization of background concentrations. Finally, an online web mapping system was developed to make the project results easily accessible and to provide basic data analysis and visualization routines for the public.

Chemical speciation of fine airborne particles in Abu Dhabi. NILU OR

Hak, C.; Lopez-Aparicio, S.

PM2.5 was sampled at two urban background sites in Abu Dhabi (Khalifa in the city of Abu Dhabi and Bida Zayed) and analysed chemically for further source identification and quantification. Understanding of source contributions to PM2.5 is a prerequisite for the formulation of effective control strategies for PM2.5 emissions.
For both sites, five source factors were identified. Long-range transported aerosol is the largest contributor (~41%) to average PM2.5 mass concentrations at both sites. It gradually forms from SO2, which is possibly emitted into ambient in the Arabian Gulf area, while it is transported to the sites. Mineral dust was found to be the second most important source, contributing ~25% at both sites. It represents an ubiquitous natural contribution of mainly regional origin to particulate matter in Abu Dhabi.
Other source contributions to particle concentrations found at Khalifa identified were: local traffic (15.1%), shipping/industry (10.5%) and sea salt (4.0%). The latter is a natural contribution.
At Bida Zayed, a mixed traffic/industry factor (13.2%) was found, as well as another two factors of natural origin, explaining 11.4% and 8.7%
