Abstract | BibTeX | Tags: AERONET, Aerosol Properties, biomass burning, long-range transport, Polar Regions @conference{González2021bb, Long range transported aerosol from biomass burning affects polar regions, especially the Arctic. The frequency and intensity of bushfires in the context of a warming climate has been pointed out in the last report of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change. In high latitudes, these events impact large areas through long-range transport of the smoke particles in the troposphere or even the stratosphere. The lifetime and radiative impact are related with the height of the plumes and the processes that modify particle size and absorptive properties during the transport. Several recent publications have shown the impact of the Australian smoke in the southern hemisphere, including Antarctica, in January-March 2020. The tools that were used to monitor that extraordinary event can be used in the Arctic to investigate similar effects in the frequent biomass burning events that generate smoke plumes in boreal regions. In this work, we present the results derived from ground-based instrumentation as well as satellite and model data. The change of the smoke properties after several days of transport is also provided, namely an increase in the fine mode particle size and the single scattering albedo, as well as a decrease in the coarse mode particle concentration. These features are relevant for radiative forcing calculations and therefore the impact of long range transported smoke in the radiative balance over polar regions. |

Abstract | BibTeX | Tags: AERONET, Aerosol Properties, Arctic Haze, biomass burning, Svalbard @conference{Herrero-Anta2021, The recent development of the of Sun-sky-Moon photometers allows using both Sun and Moon as light sources to retrieve columnar aerosol properties. In this framework, the Group of Atmospheric optics, University of Valladolid and the Alfred Wegener Institute for Polar and Marine Research, installed in 2017 a CE-318T Sun-sky-Moon photometer (Cimel Electronique S.A.S) in the Arctic station Ny-Ålesund (79oN, 12oE). This instrument contributes to the AErosol RObotic NETwork (AERONET), and it is recording a continuous (summer +winter) database of columnar aerosol properties. This study presents an inventory of all high-turbidity aerosol episodes recorded in 2020 based on the mentioned photometer measurements. Complementary information provided by HYSPLIT air mass back trajectories, MODIS images, forecast aerosol models, CALIOP/CALIPSO satellite data, and other collocated instruments on the station are also used. Special focus is given to long-range transport of aerosols from forest fires in Canada, United States and Russia. |

Abstract | Links | BibTeX | Tags: aerosol, Antarctica, Australian fires, biomass burning, optical properties, smoke ageing @article{rs12223769, Australian smoke from the extraordinary biomass burning in December 2019 was observed over Marambio, Antarctica from the 7th to the 10th January, 2020. The smoke plume was transported thousands of kilometers over the Pacific Ocean, and reached the Antarctic Peninsula at a hight of 13 km, as determined by satellite lidar observations. The proposed origin and trajectory of the aerosol are supported by back-trajectory model analyses. Ground-based Sun–Sky–Moon photometer belonging to the Aerosol Robotic Network (AERONET) measured aerosol optical depth (500 nm wavelength) above 0.3, which is unprecedented for the site. Inversion of sky radiances provide the optical and microphysical properties of the smoke over Marambio. The AERONET data near the fire origin in Tumbarumba, Australia, was used to investigate the changes in the measured aerosol properties after transport and ageing. The analysis shows an increase in the fine mode particle radius and a reduction in absorption (increase in the single scattering albedo). The available long-term AOD data series at Marambio suggests that smoke particles could have remained over Antarctica for several weeks after the analyzed event. |
