Role of Biogenics and Oxidation Products? Intense nucleation events
Role of Anthropized air masses? NE NW Wind sectors
Perspectives Harmonization of methods and approachs between Cape Corsica and Mallorca Analysis of joint aerosols and VOCs database (also in the frame of CARBOSOR project) - High time resolved instruments (PTR-MS, AMS) - Evolution of the aerosol state of oxidation (f43/f44) with several gaseous tracers A PMF analyses with combined VOCs and aerosols database ongoing. Highlight species combinaison with a focus on nucleation events? Multifunctional OVOCs and SVOCs measurements may be of prime interest for nucleation (data coming soon)
Thank You
VOCs Mallorca: DMS roles? Very low level of DMS at Cape Corsica with suspicions of interferences from acetaldehyde cluster. Courtesy to J. Pey
