14. Volcanic ash Mace Head
Plume entered the surface layer at 22 UTC, sulphate increased from 23 UTC.
Ground measurements with
AMS
15. • Non spherical particles detected using depolarisation ratio
• Biomass burning aerosols 02/04/2013 to 07/04/2013
Biomass burning aerosol: transported from Wales to Shannon
25. Conclusion
Aerosol Mass Spectrometry an excellent method for realtime in-
situ source apportionment.
LIDAR useful for identifying upper air pollution transport.
Combined LIDAR and AMS most effect for evaluating pollution
transport.
Multiple sources of transboundary air pollution (ash, biomass
buring, radioation, etc.)
Need integrated and multi-purpose modelling capacity in Ireland
Long term observations demonstrate a reduction in air pollution
in line with a reduction on emissions.
Effective emissions control.
