摘 要：This report explores the characteristics, sources, and processes of submicrometer particles in northern California via integrated analyses of atmospheric observation data obtained during the Carbonaceous Aerosols and Radiative Effects Study (CARES) that took place in northern California in June 2010. We focus on reporting aerosol chemistry, physical properties, and diurnal and temporal variations at Cool (denoted as the T1 site of the project) at the foothills of the Sierra Nevada Mountains, where intense biogenic emissions are periodically mixed with urban outflow transported by daytime southwesterly winds from the Sacramento metropolitan area. During CARES, the average mass loading of submicrometer particles (PM1) was 3.0 ig m- 3, dominated by organics (80%) and sulfate (9.9%). The organic aerosol (OA) had a nominal formula of C1H1.38N0.004O0.44, thus an average organic mass-to-carbon (OM/OC) ratio of 1.70. Three OA types were identified by PMF analysis of the high resolution mass spectra: two different OOA components (90% of total organics) and a HOA (10%). The more oxidized MOOOA (O/C = 0.54) was identified as biogenically influenced SOA, while the less oxidized LOOOA (O/C = 0.42) corresponded to anthropogenically influenced SOA (e.g., from the Sacramento area). The HOA factor corresponded mainly to primary emissions from local traffic. On average, SOA (= MO-OOA + LO-OOA) accounted for 91% of the total OA mass and 72% of the PM1 mass observed at Cool. Twenty three periods of urban plumes from T0 (Sacramento) to T1 (Cool) were identified using the Weather Research and Forecasting model coupled with Chemistry (WRF-Chem).
