Abstract. In this paper we describe and summarize the main achievements of the European Aerosol Cloud Climate and Air Quality Interactions project (EUCAARI). EUCAARI started on 1 January 2007 and ended on 31 December 2010 leaving a rich legacy including: (a) a comprehensive database with a year of observations of the physical, chemical and optical properties of aerosol particles over Europe, (b) comprehensive aerosol measurements in four developing countries, (c) a database of airborne measurements of aerosols and clouds over Europe during May 2008, (d) comprehensive modeling tools to study aerosol processes fron nano to global scale and their effects on climate and air quality. In addition a new Pan-European aerosol emissions inventory was developed and evaluated, a new cluster spectrometer was built and tested in the field and several new aerosol parameterizations and computations modules for chemical transport and global climate models were developed and evaluated. These achievements and related studies have substantially improved our understanding and reduced the uncertainties of aerosol radiative forcing and air quality-climate interactions. The EUCAARI results can be utilized in European and global environmental policy to assess the aerosol impacts and the corresponding abatement strategies.

“…The low vapour pressure of levoglucosan (Oja and Suuberg, 1999;Booth et al, 2011) as well as the minor impact of temperature on the observed volatility of levoglucosan in ambient PM (Ruehl et al, 2011) further supports its stability and thus its suitability as a tracer species. Recent investigations on the stability of levoglucosan in aqueous solution suggest that "oxidation of levoglu-cosan in atmospheric deliquescent particles is at least as fast as that of other atmospherically relevant organic compounds and levoglucosan may not be as stable as previously thought in the atmosphere, especially under high relative humidity conditions" (Hoffmann et al, 2010;Teraji and Arakaki, 2010).…”

“…The impact of the abovementioned effects on the levoglucosan content in the (true) ambient aerosol still remains to be documented; however, these are indications that levoglucosan may be depleted in the atmosphere, and that possible degradation should thus be taken into account when using levoglucosan as a tracer of BB emissions in source apportionment studies. Nonetheless, levoglucosan is a valuable tracer to investigate the impact of residential wood burning in urban (Oliveira et al, 2007;Timonen et al, 2008;Caseiro et al, 2009;Szidat et al, 2009;Bari et al, 2010;Schnelle-Kreis et al, 2010;Saffari et al, 2013), rural background Puxbaum et al, 2007, van Drooge andBallesta, 2009) and remote areas (May et al, 2009;Yttri et al, 2014), especially during winter, when wood combustion is used for domestic heating.…”

Abstract. The monosaccharide anhydrides (MAs) levoglucosan, galactosan and mannosan are products of incomplete combustion and pyrolysis of cellulose and hemicelluloses, and are found to be major constituents of biomass burning (BB) aerosol particles. Hence, ambient aerosol particle concentrations of levoglucosan are commonly used to study the influence of residential wood burning, agricultural waste burning and wildfire emissions on ambient air quality. A European-wide intercomparison on the analysis of the three monosaccharide anhydrides was conducted based on ambient aerosol quartz fiber filter samples collected at a Norwegian urban background site during winter. Thus, the samples' content of MAs is representative for BB particles originating from residential wood burning. The purpose of the intercomparison was to examine the comparability of the great diversity of analytical methods used for analysis of levoglucosan, mannosan and galactosan in ambient aerosol filter samples. Thirteen laboratories participated, of which three applied high-performance anion-exchange chromatography (HPAEC), four used high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) or ultra-performance liquid chromatography (UPLC) and six resorted to gas chromatography (GC). The analytical methods used were of such diversity that they should be considered as thirteen different analytical methPublished by Copernicus Publications on behalf of the European Geosciences Union. K. E. Yttri et al.: An intercomparison study of analytical methods used for quantificationods. All of the thirteen laboratories reported levels of levoglucosan, whereas nine reported data for mannosan and/or galactosan. Eight of the thirteen laboratories reported levels for all three isomers.The accuracy for levoglucosan, presented as the mean percentage error (PE) for each participating laboratory, varied from −63 to 20 %; however, for 62 % of the laboratories the mean PE was within ±10 %, and for 85 % the mean PE was within ±20 %. For mannosan, the corresponding range was −60 to 69 %, but as for levoglucosan, the range was substantially smaller for a subselection of the laboratories; i.e. for 33 % of the laboratories the mean PE was within ±10 %. For galactosan, the mean PE for the participating laboratories ranged from −84 to 593 %, and as for mannosan 33 % of the laboratories reported a mean PE within ±10 %.The variability of the various analytical methods, as defined by their minimum and maximum PE value, was typically better for levoglucosan than for mannosan and galactosan, ranging from 3.2 to 41 % for levoglucosan, from 10 to 67 % for mannosan and from 6 to 364 % for galactosan. For the levoglucosan to mannosan ratio, which may be used to assess the relative importance of softwood versus hardwood burning, the variability only ranged from 3.5 to 24 %.To our knowledge, this is the first major intercomparison on analytical methods used to quantify monosaccharide anhydrides in ambient aerosol filter samples conducted and reported in the scientific literature.

This work presents the development and characterization of a thermodenuder for the study and interpretation of aerosol volatility. Thermodenuder measurements are further combined with a continuous-flow streamwise thermal gradient CCN counter to obtain the corresponding aerosol hygroscopicity. The thermodenuder response function is characterized with monodisperse aerosol of variable volatility and hygroscopicity. The measurements are then interpreted with a comprehensive instrument model embedded within an optimization framework to retrieve aerosol properties with constrained uncertainty. Special attention is given to the interpretation of the size distribution of the thermodenuded aerosol, deconvoluting the effects of impurities and multiple charging, and to simplifications on the treatment of thermodenuder geometry, temperature, the cooling section, and the effects of curvature and accommodation coefficient on inferred particle volatility. Retrieved vapor pressures are consistent with published literature and shown to be most sensitive to uncertainty in the accommodation coefficient.
