Ultrahigh Resolution Ote-Ms Data For Ambient Daytime And Nighttime Aerosol And Ambient Fog Water From San Pietro Capofiume, Matthew Brege, Lynn Mazzoleni

Michigan Tech Research Data

This dataset and the methods used to obtain it are described in Chapter 3 of "EXTREME MOLECULAR DIVERSITY IN BIOMASS BURNING ATMOSPHERIC ORGANIC AEROSOL OBSERVED THROUGH ULTRAHIGH RESOLUTION MASS SPECTROMETRY" a Dissertation prepared by Matthew Brege and submitted as a Doctoral Thesis. This work can be accessed here: https://doi.org/10.37099/mtu.dc.etdr/927

Briefly, four days worth of concurrent daytime/nighttime aerosol and fog water samples were collected at San Pietro Capofiume in the Emilia Romagna region of Italy from 1-Dec to 4-Dec, 2015. The water soluble extracts of the aerosol filters and aliquots of the fog water were analyzed using ultrahigh resolution Orbitrap mass …

Briefly, two samples of ambient aerosol were collected in the Pacific Northwest of the United States in 2017 which were heavily influenced by atmospheric tar balls. The acetonitrile soluble extracts of the aerosol filters were analyzed using ultrahigh resolution Orbitrap mass spectrometry (OTE-MS) using positive and negative modes of electrospray ionization as …


Understanding The Effects Of Water Vapor And Temperature On Aerosol Using Novel Measurement Methods, Tyler Jacob Capek Jan 2021

Understanding The Effects Of Water Vapor And Temperature On Aerosol Using Novel Measurement Methods, Tyler Jacob Capek

Dissertations, Master's Theses and Master's Reports

Aerosol and water are inexorably linked, and both are ubiquitous within our atmosphere and required components for cloud formation. Relative humidity (RH), a temperature dependent quantity, can have a significant influence on the size, shape, and ultimately, the optical properties of the aerosol. RH can vary substantially on small spatial and short temporal scales in turbulent conditions due to rapid fluctuations in temperature and water vapor mixing ratio. Accurate assessment of optical enhancements due to an increase in RH is key for determining the particles’ impact on the climate and visibility.
