Spatial variability of VOCs, ozone, and carbonaceous aerosols during the 2022 European summer heatwave W. Aas et al. https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.20423958
Short summary
A one-week intensive measurement campaign during the 2022 European heatwave included monitoring of ozone, volatile organic compounds, aerosol chemical composition, and organic tracers to investigate air pollution sources. Results showed that emissions from vegetation and human activities contributed to peaks in ozone and secondary organic aerosol particles. Differences between measurements and model simulations underline the need for better characterization of sources and formation pathways.
