Beschreibung:
(Abstract) The composition, sources and chemical transformation of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and organic aerosol (OA) particles were investigated during July–August 2021 at a rural forested site in southwest Germany, 10 km north of the city of Karlsruhe. VOCs and semi-volatile OA particles were measured with a proton-transfer-reaction mass spectrometer coupled to the CHemical Analysis of aeRosols ONline particle inlet (CHARON–PTR-MS). The CHARON-measured OA mass accounted for 62+-18% on average of the total OA mass (4.2+-2.8 μgm-3) measured concurrently with an aerosol mass spectrometer (AMS). The total concentrations of measured VOCs ranged from 7.6 to 88.9 ppb with an average of 31.2+-13.4 ppb. Positive matrix factorization (PMF) was used to identify major source factors of VOCs and OA particles. Three types of oxygenated VOC (OVOC), namely aromatic OVOCs, biogenic OVOCs and aged OVOCs, contributed on average 11%+-9 %, 37%+-29% and 29%+-21% of total VOC concentrations, respectively. The results of AMS–PMF indicated substantial contributions of oxygenated organic compounds to OA particle mass. Three secondary OA (SOA) factors determined by CHARON–PMF analysis, namely aromatic SOA (5%7 %), daytime biogenic SOA (17%+-17 %) and nighttime biogenic SOA (28%+-21 %), consistently showed high contributions to the total CHARON-measured OA mass. Nighttime particle growth was observed regularly in this area, which was mainly attributed to the semi-volatile organic compounds and organic nitrates formed from the oxidation of monoterpenes and sesquiterpenes. This study presents the major sources, real-time transformations of VOCs and OA particles, and nighttime particle formation characteristics for central European forested areas.

(Technical Remarks) The data in the two Excel files is related to the publication "Sources of organic gases and aerosol particles and their roles in nighttime particle growth at a rural forested site in southwest Germany" by Song et al., ACP, 2024, https://doi.org/10.5194/egusphere-2023-2255. The first Excel file (21Summer KITcn data-1) contains the time series of meteorological data, particle species measured by the AMS, eBC measured by the Aethalometer AE33, semi-volatile OA particle and selected VOC species measured by the CHARON-PTR-MS, and trace gases (NO, NO2, SO2, O3 and NH3). The second Excel file (21Summer KITcn data-2) contains the time series of source factors resolved from the PMF analysis of AMS-measured OA particles, CHARON-measured OA particles and PTR-measured VOCs, respectively.
