Celem pracy jest określenie własności optycznych i radiacyjnych aerozolu obserwowanego podczas transportu dalekiego zasięgu zanieczyszczeń wyemitowanych w Ameryce Północnej we wrześniu 2020 r. Badania zostały zrealizowane w oparciu o dane pomiarowe pozyskane z fotometru słonecznego, lidaru oraz radiometru słonecznego (pyranometru) w stacji badawczej SolarAOT w Strzyżowie na Podkarpaciu, a także w oparciu o wyniki symulacji modelem trajektorii wstecznych, modelem transferu radiacji i transportu zanieczyszczeń. Wyniki badań wskazują na obecność silnie rozpraszających warstw aerozolu w całej troposferze oraz w dolnej stratosferze (pod koniec okresu pomiarowego). Obecność aerozolu w dolnej stratosferze jest w ostatnich latach bardzo rzadko obserwowana. Mimo tego wartości aerozolowej grubości optycznej były poniżej średniej wieloletniej. Obecność aerozolu w atmosferze spowodowała redukcję promieniowania dochodzącego do powierzchni ziemi w godzinach południowych o około 32 W/m2. Wymuszanie radiacyjne aerozolu podczas bezchmurnych warunków wynosiło ok -9 W/m2 na powierzchni ziemi i -5,2 W/m2 na górnej granicy atmosfery. Oszacowane wartości efektywności wymuszania radiacyjnego w połączeniu z pomiarami albedo pojedynczego rozpraszania wskazują na napływ umiarkowanie absorbującego aerozolu.

The aim of the study is to determine the optical and radiation properties of the aerosol observed during long-range transport of biomass burning pollution emitted in North America in September 2020. The research was carried out at SolarAOT research station in Strzyzow (south-eastern Poland) on the basis of measurement data obtained from a sun photometer, aerosol lidar and solar radiometer (pyranometer), as well as on the basis of simulation results with backtrajetories model, radiation transfer and aerosol transport model. The results indicate the presence of highly scattering aerosol layers throughout the troposphere and in the lower stratosphere (during the end of the measuring period). The presence of an aerosol in the lower stratosphere has been very rarely observed in recent years due low stratovolcanic activity. Despite this, the aerosol optical thickness was below the long-term average. The presence of the aerosol in the atmosphere reduced the radiation reaching the Earth’s surface at noon by about 32 W/m2. The aerosol direct radiative forcing of the during clear conditions was about -9 W/m2 at the Earth’s surface and -5.2 W/m2 at the top of the atmosphere. The estimated radiative forcing efficiency in combination with the single scattering albedo measurements indicate moderately absorbing particles.

Investigation results of a coarse and accumulation mode of aerosol properties above the Baltic Sea are reported. A most important role in the direct aerosol effect on climate have aerosols from the group of coarse and accumulation mode particles. Overseas in the atmosphere, there is a lot of aerosols from the fine fraction but their impact is not so important as coarse and accumulation mode particles. Sea spray emission from the sea surface takes place over a wide range of aerosol particle size distribution, it is also large in size range which are studying in this work (Lewis and Schwartz, 2004). The discussed range is most important in view of atmospheric optical properties, smaller particles do not have such an influence on scattering as particles from range 0.5–2 µm. The research was performed with a multiwavelength lidar. Due to the application of special software, the aerosol particle size distributions were retrieved from the lidar returns. That provided an opportunity to determine the profiles of the aerosol effective radius. We showed that the aerosol properties depend mainly on the direction of the air mass advection and the wind speed. The impact of the Baltic Sea on the aerosol size distribution is huge in the case of the advection from the open sea. Moreover, the aerosol effective radiuses in the whole boundary layer are much larger in the case of strong than for light wind. Our results suggest that the aerosol flux and the aerosol particle size distribution should be related to the wind speed in the emission function.

Measurement of pCO2 in highly dynamic coastal zones such as the southern Baltic Sea presents many challenges. In this study, we designed a system to measure pCO2 and then validated it in a series of laboratory and seagoing tests. The fast response time of the system was shown to provide a better resolution of CO2 system gradients. In the open waters of the Baltic Sea, the accuracy of the pCO2 measurements (±1.3 µatm) met the requirements of the ICOS (±2.0 µatm). In the coastal zone, there was less consistency between pCO2, DIC and pH measurements, suggesting the need to redefine the quality assurance and control requirements for the measurement of pCO2 in dynamic regions.
