In this study, the importance of local primary sources and new particle formation as sources of fine and ultrafine particles is investigated for winter and summer in two central European cities. Particular attention is given to the impact of local meteorological characteristics: air mass origins play a large role in the characteristics of the background aerosol and the concentrations of trace gases associated with new particle formation and growth, and precipitation and thus the condensational sink.

Comparability of Methods to Measure Black and Elemental Carbon in Two European Urban Areas - Site and Seasonal Similarities and Differences
Hitzenberger, R. ; Schwarz, Jaroslav ; Aschauer, I. ; Haindl, R. ; Ludwig, W. ; Wagner, R. ; Wonaschuetz, A. ; Zecha, G. ; Ševčíková, Irena ; Vodička, Petr ; Zíková, Naděžda ; Ždímal, Vladimír
The goal of the current study is to investigate whether similar conversion factors are applicable at the sites and whether the conversion factors obtained earlier (i.e. ca. 10 years ago) for Vienna are still valid or whether changing source conditions have resulted in shifts of the carbonaceous fractions of the aerosol that would require a new set of conversion factors.

Comparison of Mass Size Distribution of PM and Ions in Prague and Vienna in Winter and Summer

The results we obtained on mass size distributions of mass and water soluble ions exhibit common basic features of ambient aerosols in Central Europe. E.g., mass size distributions in winter were dominated by a fine mode. Sulfates and ammonium were almost exclusively present in the fine mode, fine nitrates were mostly low in summer due to high summer temperatures, but they had always a distinct coarse mode. Normal size distributions of ammonium and sulfates were often almost identical in summer due to low nitrates.

Mass Size Distribution of Water Soluble Ions in Prague and Wiena in Summer
Schwarz, Jaroslav ; Vodička, Petr ; Zíková, Naděžda ; Hitzenberger, R.
Aerosol mass size distribution is a key factor that influences aerosol behavior both on local (health effects, visibility) and global (global warming) level. The content of water soluble ions is the most important factor controlling hygroscopic behavior of aerosol particles. Hygroscopicity is a substantial parameter for particle deposition in lungs, particle – cloud interactions, aerosol optical effects etc. Therefore we studied size distribution of water soluble ions in two Central European capitals – Prague and Vienna. In this work, the results from summer campaigns are presented.
