Atmospheric sulfur over the east Mediterranean region

Abstract: Particulate sulfate has been measured intermittently at various ground sites in Israel and from an instrumented aircraft for a 10-year period between 1984 and 1993. The measurements were accompanied by concurrent monitoring of primary and secondary air pollutants and meteorological parameters. In three studies, Etzion 1984, Jerusalem 1987, and Jerusalem 1990-1991 were taken for at least a year. The other studies were performed during summer months when higher levels of secondary pollutants, including particula… Show more

“…Another hypothesis relayed on a possible contribution of the thermal power station to the global concentration of SO 2 in Beirut. (Lelieveld et al 2002;Luria et al 1996;Sciare et al 2003;Zerefos et al 2000). Since the lifetime of SO 2 varies from a few days to weeks (Wayne 2000), the HYSPLIT model was used to establish the 48-h backward trajectories of air masses ending in Beirut for the whole period of the measurements.…”

“…In the last decade, a substantial number of experimental studies on aerosols have focused on the eastern Mediterranean area (Luria et al, 1996;Pinker et al, 1997;Mihalopoulos et al, 1997;Paronis et al, 1998;Papayiannis et al, 1998;Ichoku et al, 1999;Andreae et al, 2002;Formenti et al, 2001aFormenti et al, , b, 2002aLelieveld et al, 2002;Kouvarakis et al, 2002). This is because of the maximum in the net direct radiative forcing by sulfate aerosols predicted to occur in this region by various models (Charlson et al, 1991;Kiehl and Rodhe, 1995;Boucher and Anderson, 1995).…”

However relatively few studies have been undertaken in the southern part of the eastern Mediterranean and Greece (e.g.…”
