Description
Summary:High time resolution aerosol mass spectrometry measurements were conducted during a field campaingn at Mace Head Reasearch Station, Ireland, in June 2007. On one day of the campaign the results clearly showed advection of volcanogenic aerosol from Iceland in conjunction with NOAA Hysplit air mass back trajectories. We observed a continuous increase in sulfate concentrations whereas nitrate levels remained relatively low indicating no significant contributions from anthropogenic pollution.
