Climatology of new particle formation and corresponding precursors at storm peak laboratory

Hallar, A. Gannet ; Petersen, Ross LU ; McCubbin, Ian B. ; Lowenthal, Doug ; Lee, Shanhu ; Andrews, Elisabeth and Yu, Fangqun (2016) In Aerosol and Air Quality Research 16(3). p.816-826
Abstract

Thirteen years of measurements of ultrafine (3-10 nm diameter) aerosols are presented from a remote high elevation (3210 m a.s.l.) site in Colorado, Storm Peak Laboratory. Previous work has shown that frequent new particle formation (NPF) occurs regularly at the site (52% of days). This long-term climatology of ultrafine aerosols clearly shows a seasonal dependence on new particle formation at Storm Peak Laboratory, reaching a maximum during the spring season and a minimum in summer. Recent sulfur dioxide data indicates a strong source region west of Storm Peak Laboratory, and this wind direction corresponds to the predominant wind direction observed during NPF events.
