European Geosciences Union (EGU), General Assembly. Viena, Austria, 07 - 12 April 2013. ; Non-methane hydrocarbons (NMHC) covering the C2 to C7 volatility range have been monitored at the Pico Mountain Observatory, Pico Island, Azores, Portugal, since 2004. The Observatory is located at 2225 m a.s.l. in the caldera of the Pico Mountain volcano, and during most times receives lower free tropospheric air that ha...
Copyright © 2008 American Geophysical Union. All Rights Reserved. ; Building emission inventories for the fires in boreal regions remains a challenging task with significant uncertainties in the methods used. In this work, we assess the impact of seasonal trends in fuel consumption and flaming/smoldering ratios on emissions of species dominated by flaming combustion (e.g., NO x ) and species dominated by smold...
Copyright © 2006 American Geophysical Union. All Rights Reserved. ; Extensive wildfires burned in northern North America during summer 2004, releasing large amounts of trace gases and aerosols into the atmosphere. Emissions from these wildfires frequently impacted the PICO-NARE station, a mountaintop site situated 6–15 days downwind from the fires in the Azores Islands. To assess the impacts of the boreal wild...
AGU Fall Meeting. San Francisco, California, 11-15 December 2006. ; We present analyses of CO, O3, nitrogen oxides (NOx and NOy) and aerosol black carbon (BC) measurements made in the lower free troposphere (FT) over the North Atlantic region during summers 2004 (ICARTT period) and 2005.
AGU Fall Meeting. San Francisco, California, 5-9 December 2005. ; Pico mountain in the Azores Islands provides a base for continuous, free tropospheric measurements that is unique in the central North Atlantic region. The PICO-NARE station was installed there in 2001 as a temporary observatory. However, the location proved ideal for studies of aged emissions from anthropogenic (N. American) and boreal fire (N....
Gordon conference - Atmospheric Chemistry. Big Sky, Montana, September 4-9 2005. ; Pico Mountain in the Azores Islands provides an ideal location for studies of the central N. Atlantic lower free troposphere. The PICO-NARE station has operated there since summer 2001. Here, we present key findings from summertime measurements, during 2001-2004. Main Findings: Anthropogenic and boreal wildfire emissions dominat...
ICARTT 2004 Data Workshop. Durham, New Hampshire, August 9-12, 2005. ; We present measurements of CO, O3, aerosol Black Carbon (BC) made over the central North Atlantic lower Free Troposphere (FT) during the summers of 2001-2004 along with measurements of nitrogen oxides (NOx and NOy) made during the summer of 2004 (ICARTT period) and non-methane hydrocarbons (NMHCs) made during the winter 2004-spring 2005.
Copyright © 2004 American Geophysical Union. All Rights Reserved. ; We report summertime measurements of CO and O3 obtained during 2001–2003 at the PICO-NARE mountaintop station in the Azores. Frequent events of elevated CO mixing ratios were observed. On the basis of backward trajectories arriving in the free troposphere and global simulations of biomass burning plumes, we attribute nearly all these events to...
