Figures & data

Figure 1. One hour average mass concentrations determined for coarse particles (Da = 0.5–10 µm; APS) and for fine particles (Da < 0.5 µm; SMPS). The APS and SMPS number concentrations were converted to mass by using particle densities of 2 and 1.4 g/cm3, respectively.

Figure 2. Chemical composition and mass closure of sub-micrometer particles in April (a) and June (b) 2014. Chemical speciation was based on the ToF-ACSM and MAAP measurements, while the total mass concentration was calculated from simultaneous SMPS data (particle density of 1.4 g/cm3).
