| Summary: | This dataset contains ambient concentrations of aerosol precursor vapors measured in the central Arctic during the Multidisciplinary drifting Observatory for the Study of Arctic Climate (MOSAiC) expedition. The timeseries includes a full year of sulfuric acid (SA), methanesulfonic acid (MSA), and iodic acid (IA) concentrations retrieved at a time resolution of 5 minutes between October 2019 and September 2020. The data were collected using a nitrate chemical ionization mass spectrometer (NO3-CIMS) as described by Jokinen et al. (2012). The instrument was located in the Swiss container, which was placed on the starboard side of Polarstern's bow on the D-deck during the campaign (Shupe et al., 2022). The concentration retrievals were obtained by integrating peaks from the high-resolution mass spectra for each compound of interest (either as a deprotonated ion or as its corresponding cluster with nitrate), normalizing the result with the sum of charger ions (NO3-, HNO3NO3-, (HNO3)2NO3-), and multiplying by the ... |
