Formation and transformation of atmospheric aerosol in boundary layer
Holubová Šmejkalová, Adéla
Title: Formation and transformation of atmospheric aerosol in boundary layer Author: Mgr. Adéla Holubová Šmejkalová Institute: Institute for Environmental Studies Supervisor: Ing. Vladimír Ždímal, Dr., Institute of Chemical Process Fundamen- tals of the CAS Training workplace: Institute of Chemical Process Fundamentals of the CAS Abstract: The experimental measurement of aerosol clusters from 1.17 nm in size was carried out from August 2016 till December 2018 at the National Atmospheric Observatory Košetice. Atmospheric conditions leading to aerosol clusters stabili- zation, fresh particles formation and particle growth were analyzed. Data of days with no new particle formation confrmed the connection between mixing layer height development and decrease of total aerosol number concentration together with lower gaseous pollutant concentrations. On the contrary, new particle for- mation process overcomes dilution of the atmosphere by increasing the number of freshly nucleated particles. Only decreasing gaseous pollutant concentrations were observed during these events. The atmospheric boundary layer was high du- ring new particle formation events that can mean enrichment of the atmosphere by other components transported by long-range transport or some transfer from the free troposphere.

To improve the air quality the underlying causalities must be well understood,particularly when it comes to aspects such as PM concentration, sources and their origin. The aim of this work was to determine air pollution origin at NAOK based on atmospheric aerosol (AA) data of different time resolution measured during intensive summer campaing.

Characterization of Equivalent Black carbon (EBC) at a Regional Background Site in Central Europe: Variability and Source Identification.
Mbengue, S. ; Serfozo, N. ; Holubová Šmejkalová, Adéla ; Holoubek, I.
Black carbon (BC) is recognized to play an important role on adverse public health and in the Earth’s climate system (Bond et al., 2013). It is the most efficient light-absorbing aerosol species in the visible spectrum emitted as primary pollutant from a variety of combustion related sources. Although measurements of Equivalent Black Carbon (EBC) with multiple wavelength aethalometer have been used to provide insights regarding the influence of fossil fuel (traffic emissions) and wood smoke in ambient air (Sandradewi et al., 2008, Vaishya et al. 2017), scarce studies have been reported in Eastern Central Europe using real-time EBC measurements.\nThis study focuses on the seasonal, diurnal and weekly trends of EBC at a regional background site in Central Europe during a 5-year measurement. Our aim is to identify the potential sources of EBC, especially the influence from fossil fuel and biomass burning.

Aerosol light extinction measurements
Múčková, Nikola ; Zíková, Naděžda (advisor) ; Holubová Šmejkalová, Adéla (referee)
This bachelor thesis deals with the basic processing of measured light extinction data, which was measured at seven wavelengths using the aethalometer (AE-31, Magee). Since 2012, the device has been located at the Košetice meteorological station in the Czech Republic, where the measurement has been ongoing and is currently continuing. The measured data from 2013 to 2015 were processed to provide a basis for further research in meteorology and climatology. Basic parameters such as extinction coefficient and other derived characteristics (Angstroem absorption coefficient, Delta-C) are calculated. From the final data the total average values and time dependencies are determined as daily, weekly and yearly cycles. All dependencies are graphically visualized and commented on. During the data processing, it was also found that during period 2013 - 2015 there was a decrease in the average of the concentration of black carbon and that it was the highest in the winter months. Keywords: atmospheric aerosol, light extinction, time series evaluation

Monitoring the coefficient of light scattering on aerosol particles at the Kosetice background station
Holubová Šmejkalová, Adéla ; Zíková, Naděžda ; Ždímal, Vladimír ; Holoubek, Ivan
The direct effect of the atmospheric aerosols to radiation balance is the scattering or absorption of light on these particles. While solar radiation on aerosol particles or clouds negatively affects the radiation (resulting in cooling), absorbtion causes increasing of the ambient air temperature. Contribution to the study of the effect of aerosol particles on the climate, a measurement of the coefficient of light scattering is carry out at the Kosetice background station. The Integrating Nefelometer measures at 3-wavelength (RGB) forward and back light scattering. The values of the scattering coefficient at 550 nm (green) are typically high in the cold part of the year, reflecting both increased concentrations of pollutants and stable atmospheric conditions. Daily variability is the smallest in summer (varies between 25 and 18 Mm-1), the most noticeable daily variation is observed in the spring, when stable values 44 Mm-1 drop after noon to 26 Mm-1. The calculation of Ångström's exponent showed that in the summer, the fine fraction dominates in the sampled air.
