Summary of research paper published in Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics titled: Spatial, temporal and source contribution assessments of black carbon over the northern interior of South Africa
(NACA, 2017)
According to the latest assessment report of the
Intergovernmental Panel on Climate (IPCC), aerosol black
carbon (BC) is considered the second most ...
Chemical composition, main sources and temporal variability of PM1 aerosols in southern African grassland
(EGU, 2014)
Southern Africa is a significant source region of
atmospheric pollution, yet long-term data on pollutant concentrations
and properties from this region are rather limited.
A recently established atmospheric measurement ...
Estimating the concentration of nucleation mode aerosol particles over South Africa using satellite remote sensing measurements
(AIP Publishing, 2013)
In this work satellite based observations were used to estimate the concentration of nucleation mode aerosols over South Africa. The nucleation mode aerosols can not be detected directly with satellite instruments since ...
Plume characterization of a typical South African braai
(SACI, 2015)
To braai is part of the South African heritage that transcends ethnic barriers and socio-economic groups. In this paper, a comprehensive analysis of atmospheric gaseous and aerosol species within a plume originating from ...
Ambient aromatic hydrocarbon measurements at Welgegund, South Africa
(EGU, 2014)
Aromatic hydrocarbons are associated with direct
adverse human health effects and can have negative impacts
on ecosystems due to their toxicity, as well as indirect negative
effects through the formation of tropospheric ...
Characterization of satellite-based proxies for estimating nucleation mode particles over South Africa
(EGU, 2015)
Proxies for estimating nucleation mode number
concentrations and further simplification for their use with
satellite data have been presented in Kulmala et al. (2011). In
this paper we discuss the underlying assumptions ...
