Climate Change – An Analysis of Aerosol Properties at Mace Head

Synthesis Report for the ERTDI-funded project: 2000-LS-5.3.2 M1

Summary: STRIVE Report 4 - S.G. Jennings et al.

This work describes physico–chemical and radiative measurements taken at the Mace Head Atmospheric Research Station during the period from 2000 to 2003. The measurements are indicative of the medium- to long-term measurement programme at the site. These include mass concentration (mass per unit volume) of total suspended particulate (TSP), aerosol inorganic chemical species, aerosol scattering coefficient; aerosol absorption coefficient and aerosol optical depth. The relatively continuous nature of the measurement programme permitted both monthly and seasonal characteristics of aerosol parameters to be established.
