Mass spectrometric measurements of ambient ions and estimation of gaseous sulfuric acid in the free troposphere and lowermost stratosphere during the CAFE-EU/BLUESKY campaign

Abstract: Abstract. Ambient ions play an important role in atmospheric processes such as ion-induced new particle formation. While there are several studies of ambient ions for different layers of the atmosphere, data coverage for the free troposphere and especially the upper troposphere and lower stratosphere (UTLS) region is scarce. Here, we present the first airborne measurements of ambient ions using a high-resolution atmospheric pressure interface time-of-flight mass spectrometer (HR-APi-TOF-MS) in the free troposp… Show more

“…A more detailed description of the atmospheric ion chemistry is given in the introductory section of the research article <Mass spectrometric measurements of ambient ions during CAFE-EU/BLUESKY= (see Sect. 4.3.3) (Zauner-Wieczorek et al, 2022a). Close to the ground, the decay of the radioisotope 222 Rn emitted from the soil is an additional sources of ionisation as well as lightning (Viggiano and Arnold, 1995).…”

“…In Zauner-Wieczorek et al (2022a), the measurements of atmospheric ions in the APi mode were described in more detail. In the negative APi mode, the ions and ion clusters (HNO3)032NO3 3 , HSO4 3 , (H2SO4)HSO4 3 , (HNO3)HSO4 3 , and presumably SO4 3 were detected.…”
