Abstract

Carbonaceous aerosol components, which include black carbon (BC), urban primary organic aerosols (POA), biomass burning aerosols, and secondary organic aerosols (SOA) from both urban and biogenic precursors, have been previously shown to play a major role in the direct and indirect radiative forcing of climate. The primary objective of the CARES 2010 intensive field study is to investigate the evolution of carbonaceous aerosols of different types and their effects on optical and cloud formation properties.

CARES: Carbonaceous Aerosol and Radiative Effects Study Operations Plan

Technical Report Zaveri, RA; Shaw, WJ; Cziczo, DJ

The CARES field campaign is motivated by the scientific issues described in the CARES Science Plan. The primary objectives of this field campaign are to investigate the evolution and aging of carbonaceous aerosols and their climate-affecting properties in the urban plume of Sacramento, California, a mid-size, mid-latitude city that is located upwind of a biogenic volatile organic compound (VOC) emission region. Our basic observational strategy is to make comprehensive gas, aerosol, and meteorological measurements upwind, within, and downwind of the urban area with the DOE G-1 aircraft and at strategically located ground sites so as to study the evolution ofmore »« less

Overview of the 2010 Carbonaceous Aerosols and Radiative Effects Study (CARES)

Journal Article Zaveri, R.; Shaw, W.; Cziczo, D.; ... - Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics (Online)

Substantial uncertainties still exist in the scientific understanding of the possible interactions between urban and natural (biogenic) emissions in the production and transformation of atmospheric aerosol and the resulting impact on climate change. The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Atmospheric Radiation Measurement (ARM) program’s Carbonaceous Aerosol and Radiative Effects Study (CARES) carried out in June 2010 in Central Valley, California, was a comprehensive effort designed to improve this understanding. The primary objective of the field study was to investigate the evolution of secondary organic and black carbon aerosols and their climate-related properties in the Sacramento urban plume as it wasmore »« less

Laboratory Studies of Cloud Particle Formation, Mixing State, and Physiochemical and Optical Properties of Carbonaceous Aerosols

Technical Report Davidovits, Paul

Aerosol particles affect climate through direct and indirect interactions. In direct interactions, non-absorbing particles such as sulfate aerosols, backscatter solar radiation to space, leading to atmospheric cooling. By contrast, particles containing absorbing material such as refractory black carbon (rBC) produced during incomplete fuel combustion and to some extent also brown carbon components of biomass burning organic aerosol (BBOA) and secondary organic aerosol (SOA), absorb incoming solar radiation leading to atmospheric warming. Indirect effects include the ability of aerosol particles to alter the formation and properties of liquid water clouds (acting as cloud condensation nuclei or CCN) and ice clouds (actingmore »« less

Characterization of submicron particles influenced by mixed biogenic and anthropogenic emissions using high-resolution aerosol mass spectrometry: results from CARES

Journal Article Setyan, Ari; Zhang, Qi; Merkel, M; ... - Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics

The Carbonaceous Aerosols and Radiative Effects Study (CARES) took place in the Sacramento Valley of California in summer 2010. We present results obtained at Cool, CA, the T1 site of the project ({approx}40 km downwind of urban emissions from Sacramento), where we deployed an Aerodyne high resolution time-of-flight aerosol mass spectrometer (HR-ToF-AMS) in parallel with complementary instrumentation to characterize the sources and processes of submicron particles (PM1). Cool is located at the foothill of the Sierra Nevada Mountains, where intense biogenic emissions are periodically mixed with urban outflow transported by daytime southwesterly winds from the Sacramento metropolitan area. The particlemore »« less
