Mean PM 1, PM 2.5 and PM 10 mass concentrations, the concentrations of the main ions (nitrate, sulfate and ammonium) and organic and elemental carbon content (OC and EC) in winter and summer. Only days with air mass transport explicitly from West (blue frame) or from East (green frame) are considered. The error bars are the standard deviation for the particle mass concentration. “n” is the number of days. Averages of three winters (2004/05, 2005/06, 2006/07) and three summers (2005, 2006, 2007) are shown. Results DIGITEL Sampler

We provide data for both EMEP-Intensive campaigns in 2006 and 2007 DIGITEL High Volume Sampler (daily means, PM 1, PM 2.5 and PM 10 ) MAAP, Multi Angel Absorption Photometer (Model 5012) (Minute means) Berner, 5-stage-BERNER-type-impactor (mass, water soluble ions, organic and elemental carbon, OC, EC) (daily means for selected days,13 during summer and 15 during winter campaign) GRIMM Type ESVC 265, optical detection of PM 1, PM 2.5 and PM 10 (half-hourly means) TDMPS TDMPS (twin-differential-mobility-particle-sizer) with APS (aerodynamic-particle-sizer) in combination with a thermo-denuder (10 minute means and daily contour plots) TOF-AMS, Particle-Mass-Spectrometer (data in winter campaign available) (5-minute-means) This measurements can be done at Melpitz site also for 2008 and 2009 Plus …

Possible new and modified measurements for the future campaigns in 2008 and 2009 at Melpitz AMS measurements in both campaigns with more focus also on organic speciation (HOA, OOA) (5 minute means) Quasi continuously measurements of OC and EC with the SUNSET LABORATORY’s Carbon Aerosol Analyzer (hourly means for OC/EC) Artifact free sampling of OC/EC (following EUSAAR) – Analysis of OC and EC with C-mat 5500 (VDI 2465 page 2) (daily mean every second day) Monitor for Aerosols & Gases in Ambient Air MARGA (commercial vision of SJAC) for NO 3 -, NH 4 +, SO 4 –, Cl - /HNO 3, HCl, NH 3, SO 2 in PM 2.5 (hourly means) (MARGA can be integrated in the 2009 campaign) TEOM® FDMS for nearly artifact free measurements of PM 10 mass concentration (10 minute means) NH 3 -Measurements by photoacoustic (TGA 310) (10 minute means)

Especially the time slot of the winter campaign shows only situations with westerly winds and the Winter 2006/2007 was in Germany extremely mild. The comparison of both campaigns therefore give very untypical results for the Melpitz site. They are differ from that of long-time-observations. ! The particle mass concentration PM 10 decreased up to the end of the 90-ies and remains constant for the last years. The inter annular winter variations are much higher than those of the summers. The Melpitz site is located in the lowlands of Eastern Germany and may be influenced episodically by air masses from Eastern Europe transporting aerosol in the EU with a lot of sulphate, OC and EC especially in winters. Such air masses are the reason for high PM 10 concentration episodes in large areas with a typical high PM 2.5 /PM 10 ratio (detection of long-range-transport). The results for Intensive-Measuring-Campaigns at Melpitz site for 2006 and 2007 and the future campains for 2008 and 2009 can be integrated in longtime measurements for PM.
