DAURE

This Wiki is a repository of information about a field campaign to be conducted at an urban/rural site pair in Barcelona and Montseny (Catalonia, Spain) in late 2008 and 2009.

Objectives

The objectives of this campaign is to characterize the sources of fine aerosols in the Barcelona region, with particular attention to carbonaceous aerosols.

Participant Groups

The following groups are likely to participate in this campaign, although in some cases this depends on funding.

• Host group: Xavier Querol's at the Institut de Ciencias de la Terra in Barcelona
  • Measurements: aerosol elemental composition (ICP-MS), OPC size distributinos, CO, NOx, O3
  • Funding is pending

• Jimenez group at the University of Colorado-Boulder
  • Measurement: High-Resolution Time-of-Flight Aerosol Mass Spectrometer (HR-ToF-AMS)
  • This will be potentially in collaboration with Eiko Nemitz's group at CEH Edimburgh
  • Funding is pending

• Laboratory for ATmospheric Chemistry at the Paul Scherrer Institut, Switzerland
  • Measurements: 14C at both sites, and one High-Resolution Time-of-Flight Aerosol Mass Spectrometer (HR-ToF-AMS)

• Several other groups have expressed an interest in participating, including:
  • Prof. Armin Hansel from University of Innsbruck, Austria, with the High-Resolution Proton-Transfer-Reaction Mass Spectrometer (HR-PTR-MS) for VOC detection
  • Prof. Phil Hopke from Clarkson Univ., US, with continuous EC/OC analyzers
