Number size distributions and seasonality of submicron particles in Europe 2008–2009

Number size distributions and seasonality of submicron particles in Europe 2008–2009

Two years of harmonized aerosol number size distribution data from 24 European field monitoring sites have been analysed. The results give a comprehensive overview of the European near surface aerosol particle number concentrations and number size distributions between 30 and 500 nm of dry particle...
