Methane in Svalbard (SvalGaSess)
Methane is a powerful greenhouse gas whose emission into the atmosphere from Arctic environments is increasing in response to climate change. At present, the increase in atmospheric methane concentrations recorded at Ny-Ålesund and globally threatens the Paris Agreement goal of limiting warming to 2 degrees, preferably 1.5 degrees, by increasing the need for abatements. However, our understanding of the physical, chemical and biological processes that control methane in the Arctic are strongly biased towards just a few lowland sites that are not at all like Svalbard and other similar mountainous, ice-covered regions. Svalbard can therefore be used to better understand these locations. Svalbard’s methane stocks include vast reserves of ancient, geogenic methane trapped beneath glaciers and permafrost. This methane supplements the younger, microbial methane mostly produced in waterlogged soils and wetlands during the summer and early winter. Knowledge about the production, removal and migration of these two methane sources in Svalbard’s complex landscapes and coastal environments has grown rapidly in recent years. However, the need to exploit this knowledge to produce reliable estimates of present-day and future emissions of methane from across the Svalbard landscape is now paramount. This is because understanding these quantities is absolutely necessary when we seek to define how society must adjust in order to better manage greenhouse gases in Earth’s atmosphere

A method was developed to analytically distinguish between the ventilated (v) and nonventilated (nv) fractions of water-soluble ions in deposits of particle indoors. The indicative method was based on low-cost passive outdoor and indoor sampling of the particle and ion deposits and NO2 gas and analysis of the regression values and residuals of the correlations between these parameters. The method was applied to measurements in the Pieskowa Skała Castle Museum in Poland. A dominating source of “soil and building dust” was indicated all year round, probably partly from renovation works of the castle, with larger total infiltration in the winter–spring (W-S) but with a higher proportion of ventilation ingress in the summer–autumn (S-A). About 60%–80%, by mass, of the water-soluble ions in the soil and building dust were calcium and probably some magnesium bicarbonate (Ca(HCO3)2, Mg(HCO3)2) and about 10%–20% sulfates (SO4−−) with calcium (Ca++) and several other cations. The other main source of the ion deposits was indicated to be air pollution, with chloride (Cl−), sulfate (SO4−−), and nitrate (NO3−), from outdoor combustion sources, like traffic, residential heating, and industry. These were mainly v from outdoors in the colder parts of the year, but also to the more open locations in the S-A. A small source of nv sulfate (SO4−−) was identified inside two showcases in the S-A. The study showed good enclosure protection of the museum objects against exposure to particle pollution, but also the need to avoid the trapping of particle pollution inside showcases or closed rooms. The identification of the probable different amounts and sources of v and nv ions in the castle aided preventive actions to reduce the pollution exposure.

Method for high resolution emission estimations from construction sites. Phase I: Mapping input data
Denne rapporten presenterer resultatene fra analyse av tilgjengelige inngangsdata for å utvikle en modell for estimering av luftforurensende stoffer og klimagassutslipp basert på en «bottom-up»-tilnærming, inkludert både eksos- og ikke-eksosutslipp. Tilgjengeligheten av pålitelige inngangsdata er den begrensende faktoren og den mest kritiske delen av utformingen av en slik «bottom-up»-tilnærming. I denne studien har vi fokusert på å vurdere inngangsdata som gjør det mulig å definere; i) den nøyaktige plasseringen og området som påvirkes under bygging og konstruksjon, ii) start- og sluttdatoer; iii) typen byggeaktivitet; iv) aktiviteter med ikke-veigående mobile maskiner (NRMM) innen bygg og anlegg; v) veier i nærheten av byggeplasser.

Method for retrieval of aerosol optical depth from multichannel irradiance measurements
We present, to the best of our knowledge, a new method for retrieval of aerosol optical depth from multichannel irradiance measurements. A radiative transfer model is used to simulate measurements to create the new aerosol optical depth retrieval method. A description of the algorithm, simulations, proof of principle, merits, possible future developments and implementations is provided. As a demonstration, measurements in the New York City area are simulated based on the specific channel configuration of an existing multichannel irradiance instrument. Verification of the method with irradiance measurement data is also provided.

Methods for estimating air pollutant emissions. PART 1: Review and source of input data. NILU OR
Denne rapporten er en del av utviklingen av Nasjonalt Beregningsverktøy for lokal luftkvalitet (NBV prosjektet). Arbeidet ble fokusert på metoder for å estimere utslipp og identifisere hovedkildene til nødvendige data for utslipp. Denne rapporten presenterer de mest vanlige metodene for å fastslå utslipp og inkluderer anbefalinger for fremtidig forbedring av utslippsberegninger. Hovedformålet med rapporten er å identifisere de mest relevante kildene til utslippsinformasjon og nødvendig krav til utslippsdata for modellering av luftkvalitet i norske byer og tettsteder.
