Assessments of urban aerosol pollution in Moscow and its radiative effects

Abstract: Abstract.Simultaneous measurements by the collocated AERONET CIMEL sun/sky photometers at the Moscow State University Meteorological Observatory (MSU MO) and at the Zvenigorod Scientific Station (ZSS) of the A. M. Obukhov Institute of Atmospheric Physics during September 2006-April 2009 provide the estimates of the effects of urban pollution on various aerosol properties in different seasons. The average difference in aerosol optical thickness between MO MSU and ZSS, which can characterize the effect of aeroso… Show more

“…of both fine (r < 0.7 µm) and coarse (r > 0.7µm) aerosol modes. This is in agreement with the urban aerosol type, which is characterized by some additional increase in coarse mode Chubarova et al, 2011a). However, during the fire event one can see much more pronounced increase in fine aerosol mode and a shift in fine aerosol mode distribution towards larger radii.…”

“…These values are in an agreement with the SSA values of the aerosol continental model (WMO, WCRP, 1987). However, in nonurban conditions SSA values can be somewhat higher but the difference is not statistically significant (Chubarova et al, 2011a). At the same time smoke aerosol SSA values in visible and near infrared region significantly differ from the values in typical conditions (see Fig.…”

“…Our aerosol comparisons in urban and background conditions (Chubarova et al, 2011) also demonstrated the existence of the residual NO 2 contamination over Moscow, which can be seen in a specific character of AOT spectral difference between the parallel measurements in Moscow and in Zvenigorod background conditions at the distance of 55 km (see Fig. 3 and the discussion in Chubarova et al, 2011). This residual NO 2 contamination is caused by much higher NO 2 content in Moscow than that accounted for in the AERONET algorithm.…”

“…According to the satellite data, the NO 2 tropospheric content over megacities reaches high levels (Hiboll et al, 2013). Our aerosol comparisons in urban and background conditions (Chubarova et al, 2011) also demonstrated the existence of the residual NO 2 contamination over Moscow, which can be seen in a specific character of AOT spectral difference between the parallel measurements in Moscow and in Zvenigorod background conditions at the distance of 55 km (see Fig. 3 and the discussion in Chubarova et al, 2011).…”
