  • Products of OH + Furan Reactions and Some Implications for Aromatic Hydrocarbon Atmospheric Degradation
    Products of OH + Furan Reactions and Some Implications for Aromatic Hydrocarbon Atmospheric Degradation Roger Atkinson, Air Pollution Research Center, University of California, Riverside Unsaturated 1,4-dicarbonyls are important products of the atmospheric degradations of aromatic hydrocarbons such as benzene, toluene, xylenes and trimethylbenzenes, which comprise 20% of the non- methane volatile organic compounds present in urban air masses in the USA. However, in many cases the measured formation yields of the unsaturated 1,4-dicarbonyls are significantly lower than those of these presumed co-product 1,2-dicarbonyls. These discrepancies could be due to analytical problems and/or rapid photolysis of unsaturated 1,4-keto-aldehydes and unsaturated 1,4-dialdehydes, or to incorrect reaction mechanisms for the OH radical-initiated reactions of aromatic hydrocarbons. Since unsaturated 1,4- dicarbonyls are major products of OH + furans, with apparently simpler product distributions and mechanisms, we have investigated the reactions of OH radicals with furan, 2- and 3-methylfuran, and 2,3- and 2,5- dimethylfuran, in the presence of NO. Using direct air sampling atmospheric pressure ionization tandem mass spectrometry and gas chromatography, the unsaturated 1,4-dicarbonyls were observed and quantified. The measured unsaturated 1,4-dicarbonyl formation yields ranged from 8 ± 2% from OH + 2,3-dimethylfuran to 75 ± 5% from OH + furan. Other products were also formed. These data will be presented and discussed and, time permitting, a brief discussion of in situ nitro-aromatic and nitro-PAH formation from the atmospheric degradations of aromatic hydrocarbons and PAHs will also be presented.

  • Formation of Highly Oxygenated Organic Molecules from Aromatic Compounds
    Formation of highly oxygenated organic molecules from aromatic compounds. Ugo Molteni1, Federico Bianchi1-2, Felix Klein1, Imad El Haddad1, Carla Frege1, Michel J. Rossi1, Josef Dommen1, Urs Baltensperger1,* 5 1Laboratory of Atmospheric Chemistry, Paul Scherrer Institute, CH-5232 Villigen, Switzerland 2Department of Physics, University of Helsinki, 00014 Helsinki, Finland Correspondence to: Urs Baltensperger ([email protected]) Abstract 10 Anthropogenic volatile organic compounds (AVOC) often dominate the urban atmosphere and consist to a large degree of aromatic hydrocarbons (ArHC), such as benzene, toluene, xylenes, and trimethylbenzenes, e.g. from handling and combustion of fuels. These compounds are important precursors for the formation of secondary organic aerosol. Despite their recognized importance as atmospheric reactants, the formation of highly oxygenated molecules (HOMs) in the gas phase leading to (extremely) low volatility compounds has not been studied in the past. Here we show that oxidation of 15 aromatics with OH leads to a subsequent autoxidation chain reaction forming HOMs with an O:C ratio of up to 1.09. This is exemplified for five single-ring ArHC (benzene, toluene, o-/m-/p-xylene, mesitylene (1,3,5-trimethylbenzene) and ethylbenzene), as well as two conjugated polycyclic ArHC (naphthalene and biphenyl). We present the identified compounds, differences in the observed oxidation patterns and discuss mechanistic pathways. We report the elemental composition of the HOMs and show the differences in the oxidation patterns of these ArHCs. A potential pathway for the 20 formation of these HOMs from aromatics is presented and discussed. We hypothesize that AVOC may contribute substantially to new particle formation events that have been detected in urban areas.

  • Seasonal and Spatial Variations in the Attenuation of Light in the North Atlantic Ocean
    JEFFREY H. SMART SEASONAL AND SPATIAL VARIATIONS IN THE ATTENUATION OF LIGHT IN THE NORTH ATLANTIC OCEAN This article examines seasonal and spatial vanatlOns in the average depth profiles of the diffuse attenuation coefficient, Kd, for visible light propagating downward from the ocean surface at wavelengths of 490 and 532 nm. Profiles of the depth of the nth attenuation length are also shown. Spring, summer, and fall data from the northwestern and north central Atlantic Ocean and winter data from the northeastern Atlantic Ocean are studied. Variations in the depth-integrated Kd profiles are important because they are related to the depth penetration achievable by an airborne active optical antisubmarine warfare system. INTRODUCTION Numerous investigators have tried to characterize the the geographic areas and seasons indicated in Table 1 and diffuse attenuation coefficient (hereafter denoted as Kd) Figure 1. Despite the incomplete spatial and temporal for various ocean areas and for the different seasons. Platt coverage across the North Atlantic Ocean, this article and Sathyendranath 1 generated numerical fits to averaged should serve as a useful resource to estimate the optical profiles from coastal and open-ocean regions, and they characteristics in the areas studied. divided the North Atlantic into provinces that extended The purpose of this article is to characterize the sea­ from North America to Europe and over large ranges sonal and spatial variations in diffuse attenuation at 490 in latitude (e.g. , from 10.0° to 37.00 N and from 37.0° to and 532 nm.

  • Atmosphere Observation by the Method of LED Sun Photometry
    Atmosphere Observation by the Method of LED Sun Photometry A Senior Project presented to the Faculty of the Physics Department California Polytechnic State University, San Luis Obispo In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements of the Degree Bachelor of Science by Gregory Garza April 2013 1 Introduction The focus of this project is centered on the subject of sun photometry. The goal of the experiment was to use a simple self constructed sun photometer to observe how attenuation coefficients change over longer periods of time as well as the determination of the solar extraterrestrial constants for particular wavelengths of light. This was achieved by measuring changes in sun radiance at a particular location for a few hours a day and then use of the Langley extrapolation method on the resulting sun radiance data set. Sun photometry itself is generally involved in the practice of measuring atmospheric aerosols and water vapor. Roughly a century ago, the Smithsonian Institutes Astrophysical Observatory developed a method of measuring solar radiance using spectrometers; however, these were not usable in a simple hand-held setting. In the 1950’s Frederick Volz developed the first hand-held sun photometer, which he improved until coming to the use of silicon photodiodes to produce a photocurrent. These early stages of the development of sun photometry began with the use of silicon photodiodes in conjunction with light filters to measure particular wavelengths of sunlight. However, this method of sun photometry came with cost issues as well as unreliability resulting from degradation and wear on photodiodes. A more cost effective method was devised by amateur scientist Forrest Mims in 1989 that incorporated the use of light emitting diodes, or LEDs, that are responsive only to the light wavelength that they emit.

The Handbook is not intended as a source book on radio astronomy, but is concerned principally with those aspects of radio astronomy that are relevant to frequency coordination, that is, the management of radio spectrum usage in order to minimize interference between radiocommunication services. Radio astronomy does not involve the transmission of radiowaves in the frequency bands allocated for its operation, and cannot cause harmful interference to other services. On the other hand, the received cosmic signals are usually extremely weak, and transmissions of other services can interfere with such signals.

  • Lecture 3. Optical Properties 1
    Lecture 3. Optical properties 1. Attenuation of atmospheric radiation by particulates. Aerosol particles can scatter or/and absorb electromagnetic radiation at different wavelengths. NOTE: aerosol particles also can emit thermal radiation. Scattering is a process, which conserves the total amount of energy, but the direction in which the radiation propagates may be altered. Absorption is a process that removes energy from the electromagnetic radiation field, and converts it to another form. Extinction (or attenuation) is the sum of scattering and absorption, so it represents total effect of medium on radiation passing the medium. In the atmosphere: aerosol particles can scatter and absorb solar and infrared radiation altering air temperature and the rates of photochemical reactions. Key parameters that govern the scattering and absorption of radiation by a particle: i. the wavelength of the incident radiation; ii. the size of the particles, expressed as a dimensional size parameter x: D x (where D is the particle diameter); iii. complex refractive index (or optical constant) of a particle: m = n + i k where n is the real part of the refractive index, k is the imaginary part of the refractive index. Both n and k depend on the wavelength. Important to remember: complex refractive index of a particle is defined by its chemical composition; real part , n , is responsible for scattering. imaginary part, k, is responsible for absorption. If k is equal to 0 at a given wavelength thus a particle does not absorb radiation at this wavelength. Table 3.1 Some refractive indices of atmospheric aerosol substances at = 0.5 m.
