explicitly from West (blue frame) or from East (green frame) are considered.
The error bars are the standard deviation for the particle mass concentration.
“n” is the number of days.
Averages of three winters (2004/05, 2005/06, 2006/07) and three summers (2005, 2006, 2007) are shown.

23. ! Suitability of Melpitz site
The particle mass concentration PM10 decreased up to the end of
the 90-ies and remains constant for the last years. The inter annular winter variations are much higher than those of the summers. The Melpitz site is located in the lowlands of Eastern Germany and may be influenced episodically by air masses from Eastern Europe transporting aerosol in the EU with a lot of sulphate, OC and EC especially in winters. Such air masses are the reason for high PM10 concentration episodes in large areas with a typical high PM2.5/PM10 ratio
(detection of long-range-transport).
The results for Intensive-Measuring-Campaigns at Melpitz site for
2006 and 2007 and the future campains for 2008 and 2009 can be
integrated in longtime measurements for PM.
Especially the time slot of the winter campaign shows only situations
with westerly winds and the Winter 2006/2007 was in Germany extremely mild.
The comparison of both campaigns therefore give very untypical results for the
Melpitz site. They are differ from that of long-time-observations. !
