英文摘要 | Chemical composition and hygroscopicity closure of marine aerosol in high time resolution has not been achieved yet due to the difficulty involved in measuring the refractory sea-salt concentration in near-real time. In this study, attempts were made to achieve closure for marine aerosol based on a humidified tandem differential mobility analyser (HTDMA) and a high-resolution time-of-flight aerosol mass spectrometer (AMS) for wintertime aerosol at Mace Head, Ireland. The aerosol hygroscopicity was examined as a growth factor (GF) at 90% relative humidity (RH). The corresponding GFs of 35, 50, 75, 110 and 165 nm particles were 1:540:26, 1:600:29, 1:660:31, 1:720:29 and 1:780:30 (meanstandard deviation), respectively. Two contrasting air masses (continental and marine) were selected to study the temporal variation in hygroscopicity; the results demonstrated a clear diurnal pattern in continental air masses, whereas no diurnal pattern was found in marine air masses. In addition, wintertime aerosol was observed to be largely externally mixed in both of the contrasting air masses. Concurrent high time resolution PM1 (particulate matter 1 um) chemical composition data from combined AMS and MAAP measurements, comprising organic matter, non-sea-salt sulfate, nitrate, ammonium, sea salt and black carbon (BC), were used to predict aerosol hygroscopicity with the Zdanovskii-Stokes-Robinson (ZSR) mixing rule. Overall, good agreement (an R2 value of 0.824 and a slope of 1.02) was found between the growth factor of 165 nm particles measured by the HTDMA (GFHTDMA) and the growth factor derived from the AMSCMAAP bulk chemical composition (GFAMS). Over 95% of the estimated GF values exhibited less than a 10%deviation for the whole dataset, and this deviation was mostly attributed to the neglected mixing state as a result of the bulk PM1 composition. © 2020 BMJ Publishing Group.
