Aerosol deposition to the boreal forest in the vicinity of the Alberta Oil Sands

Timothy Jiang et al.

Summary: Measurements were conducted in a forest in the Athabasca Oil Sands Region to investigate particle size distributions, particle deposition velocities, and vertical mixing in the canopy. Different sources were identified based on wind direction. Smokestack plumes from oil sands processing facilities had higher number concentrations at 70 nm, while aerosols from open-pit mine faces had peaks near 150 nm and 250 nm. Deposition fluxes were calculated and showed good agreement with previous measurements. Nighttime decoupling of air within and above the forest canopy was observed, with lag times of up to 40 min. Aerosol mass fluxes underestimated the flux magnitude when compared to eddy covariance flux measurements.

Development and testing of a novel sulfur dioxide sonde

Subin Yoon et al.

Summary: A novel technique has been developed to measure sulfur dioxide using a modification of the existing electrochemical concentration cell ozonesonde technology. This single-SO2-sonde system is effective in measuring both ground-based and vertical profiles of SO2 over a wide range of concentrations.

New methodology shows short atmospheric lifetimes of oxidized sulfur and nitrogen due to dry deposition

Katherine Hayden et al.

Summary: A new methodology using aircraft observations was utilized to determine the lifetimes of oxidized sulfur and nitrogen due to dry deposition over a boreal forest area in Canada, showing higher dry deposition fluxes and velocities than model estimates. This indicates that regional and global chemical transport models may underestimate the deposition to vegetation surfaces.

Methane emissions from an oil sands tailings pond: a quantitative comparison of fluxes derived by different methods

Yuan You et al.

Summary: Different micrometeorological flux methods and traditional flux chambers were used to quantify fugitive emissions from tailings ponds, showing varying levels of accuracy and minimal variability in emissions. The larger footprint and higher temporal resolution of micrometeorological flux measurement methods may lead to more robust estimates of greenhouse gas emissions from ponds.
