Monitoring of atmospheric composition, and in particular vertical gradients in composition, is challenging under cold Arctic conditions. This study demonstrates that multiple sets of low-cost electrochemical sensors can provide accurate measurement of CO, NO, NO<small><sub>2</sub></small>, and O<small><sub>3</sub></small> air composition across wide-ranging cold Arctic temperatures (0 °C to −30 °C). The sensors quantify vertical gradients in downtown Fairbanks’ atmospheric composition during winter 2021. Low-cost electrochemical sensors (with temperature co-measured) were characterised by cross-comparison to a regulatory air-quality monitoring site. We demonstrate excellent agreement of the electrochemical sensors with the reference monitors (<em>R</em><small><sup>2</sup></small> > 0.86–0.98), with mean absolute errors <5 ppbv (NO, NO<small><sub>2</sub></small>, O<small><sub>3</sub></small>) and <50 ppbv (CO) over gas-ranges of 10–100’s, and 3000 ppbv, respectively, sufficient for using the low-cost electrochemical sensors to quantitatively investigate NO–NO<small><sub>2</sub></small>–O<small><sub>3</sub></small> atmospheric chemistry. During four weeks in February–March 2021, sensors placed on the rooftop (20 m) and base (3 m) of a building in downtown Fairbanks identified strong gradients in atmospheric composition over a very short <20 m vertical scale at times when near-surface temperature inversions were present. At night, CO and NO<small><sub><em>x</em></sub></small> were more concentrated at the surface than aloft, and surface ozone was depleted whilst sometimes being present aloft. During the daytime, when solar radiation heated the surface, inversions were disrupted by efficient vertical mixing that mixed in ozone-rich air from above. The low-cost sensor observations demonstrate that near-surface pollutant trapping was correlated with thermal inversions and trace O<small><sub>3</sub></small>–NO<small><sub><em>x</em></sub></small> atmospheric chemistry, and quantify a local O<small><sub><em>x</em></sub></small> source from direct “primary” NO<small><sub>2</sub></small> emissions, with a directly emitted NO<small><sub>2</sub></small> : NO<small><sub><em>x</em></sub></small> ratio of 0.13 mol mol<small><sup>−1</sup></small>. The sensors also characterise NO<small><sub><em>x</em></sub></small> emissions, finding a NO<small><sub><em>x</em></sub></small> : CO of 0.15 mol mol<small><sup>−1</sup></small>. When well-characterised, low-cost electrochemical sensors can provide valuable measurements of local emissions and vertically-resolved atmospheric composition, with sufficient accuracy to trace atmospheric chemistry in cold and stable wintertime urban environments.</p>","PeriodicalId":49075,"journal":{"name":"Faraday Discussions","volume":"258 ","pages":" 307-327"},"PeriodicalIF":3.4,"publicationDate":"2025-01-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://pubs.rsc.org/en/content/articlepdf/2025/fd/d4fd00177j?page=search","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143571694","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Glaciation of these clouds relies on the presence of ice nucleating particles, which are often limited in number, so often clouds may be liquid even at temperatures well below 0 °C. As the Arctic region warms, cloud feedbacks may accelerate change or lessen absorbed solar radiation. Understanding aerosol–cloud interactions and the sources and pathways of aerosol particles across the Arctic region is central to improving our knowledge of these poorly understood processes. In this paper, aircraft observations of single particle chemical and physical properties are presented and the composition of cloud residuals in both warm and glaciated clouds are examined using a single-particle laser ablation aerosol particle mass spectrometer (LAAPToF). In cloud, the LAAPToF sampled behind a Counterflow Virtual Impactor (CVI) to detect cloud particle residuals, separated into liquid, mixed phase and ice clouds using <em>in situ</em> observations of the fractional ice water content. Three different air mass regimes were sampled: northerly winds in both the marine boundary layer and the lower free troposphere; westerly winds from Canada in both the marine boundary layer and the free troposphere; and periods when the boundary layer winds were northerly but the air immediately above the boundary layer was from continental Canada. When the air in the boundary layer and free troposphere was from the north, most clouds were in the liquid phase, however, considerably more glaciation was observed when the air immediately above the boundary layer clouds was from Canada regardless of the flow direction in the boundary layer. Sea salt particles dominate the observed out of cloud aerosol particle population and liquid cloud particle residuals. However, in the detected mixed phase and ice cloud particle residuals dust and bioaerosol particles were substantial in number. Since these are known to be effective ice-nucleating particles, the observations suggest that long range transport of continental air and entrainment is an important pathway for the supply of aerosol to the remote Arctic boundary layer.</p>","PeriodicalId":49075,"journal":{"name":"Faraday Discussions","volume":"258 ","pages":" 147-170"},"PeriodicalIF":3.4,"publicationDate":"2025-01-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://pubs.rsc.org/en/content/articlepdf/2025/fd/d5fd00005j?page=search","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143539676","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
