Characterization of size-segregated particles' turbulent flux and deposition velocity by eddy correlation method at an Arctic site
Estimating aerosol depositions on snow and ice surfaces and assessing the aerosol lifecycle in the Arctic region is challenged by the scarce measurement data available for particle surface fluxes. This work aims at assessing the deposition velocity of atmospheric particles at an Arctic site (Ny-Åles...

Estimating aerosol depositions on snow and ice surfaces and assessing the aerosol lifecycle in the Arctic region is challenged by the scarce measurement data available for particle surface fluxes. This work aims at assessing the deposition velocity of atmospheric particles at an Arctic site (Ny-Ålesund, Svalbard islands) over snow, during the melting season, and over dry tundra. The measurements were performed using the eddy covariance method from March to August 2021. The measurement system was based on a condensation particle counter (CPC) for ultrafine particle (UFP; < 0.25 µm) fluxes and an optical particle counter (OPC) for evaluating particle size fluxes in the accumulation mode (ACC; 0.25 < dp < 0.7 µm) and quasi-coarse mode (CRS; 0.8 < dp < 3 µm). Turbulent fluxes in the ultrafine particle size range were prevalently downward, especially in summertime. In contrast, particle fluxes in the accumulation and quasi-coarse mode were more frequently positive, especially during the colder months, pointing to surface sources of particles from, for example, sea spray, snow sublimation, or local pollution.
