Comparison of summer and winter highly time resolved submicron aerosol composition measured at a suburban site in Prague

Abstract

The compact-Time of Flight-Aerosol Mass Spectrometer (AMS) was used to describe seasonal differences in atmospheric aerosol at a Prague suburban site. The data were compared with measurements done with other instruments such as Sunset organic and elemental carbon analyzer, TSI Scanning Mobility Particle Sizer (SMPS), and results from ion chromatography, and with meteorological model.
