A European aerosol phenomenology – 9: LIGHT ABSORPTION PROPERTIES OF CARBONACEOUS AEROSOL PARTICLES ACROSS SURFACE EUROPE

<p>Carbonaceous aerosols (CA), composed of black carbon (BC) and organic aerosols (OA), exert an important role on the climate system through their interaction with solar radiation. Light absorption properties of CA particles are of special interest due to their important contribution to global and regional warming. Among atmospheric particulate matter (PM), BC and the absorbing components of OA (or brown carbon, BrC) are characterized by the highest absorption efficiency but their role in the current climate change, especially that of BrC, is still uncertain. Here we present the absorption properties of BC and BrC PM at 44 sites across Europe using aethalometer data collected at different types of environment (6 traffic (TR), 16 urban (UB), 7 suburban (SUB), 10 regional background (RB) and 5 mountain (M) sites). The absorption &Aring;ngstr&ouml;m exponent (AAE) method was used to assign total measured absorption to the contributions of BC (bAbs,BC) and BrC (bAbs,BrC) to total absorption (bAbs). The results showed a clear dependence of the absorption coefficients bAbs, bAbs,BC and bAbs,BrC on station settings as follows: TR &gt; UB &gt; SUB &gt; RB &gt; M, even if significant exceptions were observed. The relative contribution of bAbs,BrC to bAbs (%AbsBrC) at 370 nm was on average lower at traffic sites (11-20%) reaching at some SUB and RB sites median annual values that accounted for more than 30% and 10% of the absorption at 370 and 660 nm, respectively. The median AAE of CA particles was correspondingly low at TR sites (1.1-1.2) where internal combustion engines dominated the CA mass concentration. Low AAE were also observed at some remote RB and M sites, likely due to the lack of proximity from BrC sources or lack of sufficiently strong secondary processes resulting in BrC. On average, AAE was lower in Western Europe (&lt;1.3) compared to Eastern Europe (&gt;1.3), likely due to a more extensive use of coal and biomass burning in eastern countries. The median AAE of BrC PM (AAEBrC) showed a wide range of values, from 2.5 to 6, with no clear relationship with station background or region. Assessing the seasonal variability revealed, overall, an increase of bAbs, bAbs,BC, bAbs,BrC in winter, which was attributed to meteorological conditions and more heating related emissions. Accordingly, bAbs,BrC exhibited a stronger increase than bAbs,BC, resulting in higher AAE and %AbsBrC during the winter season. The diel cycles differed between bAbs,BC and bAbs,BrC, with bAbs,BC showing the bimodal peaks during the morning and evening rush hours, whereas bAbs,BrC, together with %AbsBrC, AAE and AAEBrC, peaked at night. Decade-long trend analysis performed for a subset of stations across Europe revealed a decrease of bAbs, driven by declining bAbs,BC, whereas, overall, bAbs,BrC, %AbsBrC and AAE increased with time. This strongly implies an efficient reduction of BC mass concentrations from traffic sources in Europe and a less effective reduction of emissions from BrC sources. The observed increasing trends of AAE reflected a progressive change in the chemical composition of CA particles driven by a relative increase/decrease of BrC/BC content in CA with time.</p>
