SMPS size range: dm = 9 to 445 nm (ρorg = 1.50 g/cm3)

Wet season 2015 (Jan-Mar)
ACSM+BC vs SMPS, slope = 0.69 ACSM+BC vs SMPS, slope = 0.84
It seems that Jan and part of Feb could be in the transition between the dry/2014 and the wet/2015 conditions, assuming the Org density is similar for both seasons.

• Assume organic density of 1.3 g/cm3. • FIMS data:
- Used as received from Jian Wang. Looks like bad data are removed. - Aerosol dried with Nafion dryer.
• FIMS size range is 0.02 - 0.5 um (mobility diameter).

• UHSAS data suggests CE slightly larger than 0.5. 10

• UHSAS size range is 0.07 – 1.134 um (optical diameter).
• Assume organic density of 1.3 g/cm3. • UHSAS data:
- Calibrated to PSLs? QC’ed? - Aerosol is not dried. - Fit is biased by small number of large UHSAS volume values. Fit will change depending on how these potential outliers are removed.

UHSAS data was preliminary and has since been updated!
Summary of CE values for GoAmazon2014/5
Location Wet season Dry season
T0a (ATTO) 1 * 0.5
T2 (Tiwa) 0.5 0.5
T3 (Manacapuru) 1 ~0.5, CDCE
G1 (aircraft) 0.5 0.5

*Wet season 2015, all other values refer to 2014
Previous data points for the story... Location Season CE Reference
T0t (TT34) Wet (AMAZE-08) 1 Chen et al., 2009
T0t (TT34) Dry (Aug-Dec 2013) 0.5 Unpublished
Rondônia, ground Dry (SAMBBA) 1 Brito et al., 2014
Rondônia, aircraft Dry (SAMBBA) 1 Allan et al., 2014
CE of organics can vary widely from 0.2 to 1 [Alfarra et al., 2004; Matthew et al., 2008; Docherty et al., 2013] and is not (yet) parameterized.
Amazonian CE summary
19
Dominant source Occurrence CE
Biogenic Wet season; remote/far-downwind locations 1
Biomass burning, mostly fresh
Dry season; close to fires or in-plume fire sampling (aircraft)
1
Biomass burning, mostly aged
Dry season; far from fires 0.5
Urban (Manaus) Either season; immediately downwind of urban areas, or in-plume sampling (aircraft)
0.5
Instead of thinking in terms of seasons… let us think in terms of dominant sources…
Several different instruments involved Link between nature of aerosol and CE assumes that there are no instrumental differences (e.g., lens transmission, SMPSs)
Scientific hypothesis is drawn; however, dataset is limited to provide further testing
CAUTION: THIS IS NOT A CE ASSIGNMENT TABLE!!
* Assuming RIEorg = 1.4 for all
Thank you for the attention!
