Meteorological and trace gas factors affecting the number concentration of atmospheric Aitken (DP Combining double low line 50 nm) particles in the continental boundary layer: Parameterization using a multivariate mixed effects model [link]Website  doi  abstract   bibtex   
Measurements of aerosol size distribution and different gas andmeteorological parameters, made in three polluted sites in Central andSouthern Europe: Po Valley, Italy, Melpitz and Hohenpeissenberg in Germany,were analysed for this study to examine which of the meteorological and tracegas variables affect the number concentration of Aitken (D PCombining double low line 50 nm)particles. The aim of our study was to predict the number concentration of50 nm particles by a combination of in-situ meteorological and gas phaseparameters. The statistical model needs to describe, amongst others, thefactors affecting the growth of newly formed aerosol particles (below 10 nm)to 50 nm size, but also sources of direct particle emissions in that sizerange. As the analysis method we used multivariate nonlinear mixed effectsmodel. Hourly averages of gas and meteorological parameters measured at thestations were used as predictor variables; the best predictive model wasattained with a combination of relative humidity, new particle formationevent probability, temperature, condensation sink and concentrations ofSO2, NO2 and ozone. The seasonal variation was also taken into accountin the mixed model structure. Model simulations with the Global Model ofAerosol Processes (GLOMAP) indicate that the parameterization can be used asa part of a larger atmospheric model to predict the concentration ofclimatically active particles. As an additional benefit, the introduced modelframework is, in theory, applicable for any kind of measured aerosolparameter. © 2011 Author(s).
