Assessment of polar organic aerosols at a regional background site in southern Africa
(Springer, 2019)A recent paper reported GCxGC-TOFMS analysis used for the first time in southern Africa to tentatively characterise and semi-quantify ~1000 organic compounds in aerosols at Welgegund – a regional background atmospheric ... -
Measurement of organic compounds in atmospheric aerosols collected at Welgegund, South Africa
(North-West University, 2018)Atmospheric aerosols or particulate matter (PM) are a complex mixture of solid and liquid particulates suspended in the atmosphere that originate from natural and anthropogenic sources. These species influence climate ... -
Observation and quantification of aerosol outflow from southern Africa using spaceborne lidar
(ASSAf, 2020)Biomass burning in Africa provides a prolific source of aerosols that are transported from the source region to distant areas, as far away as South America and Australia. Models have long predicted the primary outflow and ... -
Submicrometer aerosols and excess CO as tracers for biomass burning air mass transport over southern Africa
(Wiley, 2016)This paper links surface measurements of biomass burning aerosols and trace gases with trajectory analysis to determine transport pathways for air masses with high and low concentrations. We interpret the long-term ... -
What caused severe air pollution episode of November 2016 in New Delhi?
(Elsevier, 2020)In recent years, South Asia is experiencing severely degraded air quality, with particulate matter less than 2.5 μm (PM2.5) reaching unprecedented high levels. Here, we investigate a severe air pollution episode (SAPE) ...
