| 英文摘要 | Two months (Oct.–Nov. 2015) of online elemental carbon (EC) and organic carbon (OC) measurements were performed by two field OC/EC Sunset Laboratory analysers working in parallel with an 8-h time resolution at a subarctic remote station in Finland. During such a time resolution, thermal OC and EC concentrations were usually close to or below the recent limits of detection for the analyser. Thus, this work highlights the possible issues to consider during the online measurements of OC/EC analysers working at the threshold of their analytical possibilities. A detailed analysis of the data showed that even though the OC concentrations were always above the detection limit of the analyser, up to 70% of the given concentration was due to the dynamic blank (gaseous phase). The majority of the OC aerosol was present in the less volatile fractions that evolved during steps at 300–450 °C and 450–650 °C. The main bias at low EC concentrations originated from the automatically determined split point between OC and EC. The results from the RTCalc526 software often led to an early determination of the OC-EC split point, resulting in an overestimation of the EC concentrations. However, the comparison of the results was performed after processing the OC/EC raw data in the different RTCalc software versions 526 and 703. The results showed that the EC values from the newer version of the RTCalc703 software were more consistent with the equivalent black carbon (eBC) results from optical instruments (aethalometer and MAAP) measured in parallel in comparison with results from the older RTCalc526 software. Equivalent BC data from the laser attenuation measurement of the Sunset Lab. analyser also provided better agreement with the newer version of the RTCalc software (RTCalc703). © 2020 Elsevier Ltd |
