    • Effect of seasonal mesoscale and microscale meteorological conditions in Ny-Ålesund on results of monitoring of long-range transported pollution 

      Dekhtyareva, Alena; Holmén, Kim; Maturilli, Marion; Hermansen, Ove; Graversen, Rune (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2018-09-06)
      Ny-Ålesund is an international research settlement where the thermodynamics and chemical composition of the air are monitored. The present work investigates the effects of micrometeorological conditions, mesoscale dynamics and local air pollution on the data collected at two different locations around the village. Daily filter measurements of sulphur dioxide and non-sea salt sulphate from the temporary ...
    • Extensive release of methane from Arctic seabed west of Svalbard during summer 2014 does not influence the atmosphere 

      Myhre, Cathrine Lund; Ferré, Benedicte; Platt, Stephen Matthew; Silyakova, Anna; Hermansen, Ove; Allen, Grant; Pisso, Ignacio; Schmidbauer, Josef Norbert; Stohl, Andreas; Pitt, Joseph R.; Jansson, Pær; Greinert, Jens; Percival, Carl; Fjæraa, Ann Mari; O'Shea, Sebastian J.; Gallagher, Martin; Le Breton, Michael; Bower, Keith N.; Bauguitte, Stéphane Jean-Bernard; Dalsøren, Stig Bjørløw; Vadakkepuliyambatta, Sunil; Fisher, Rebecca E.; Nisbet, Euan G.; Lowry, David; Myhre, Gunnar; Pyle, John Adrian; Cain, Michelle; Mienert, Jurgen (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2016-05-07)
      We find that summer methane (CH4) release from seabed sediments west of Svalbard substantially increases CH4 concentrations in the ocean but has limited influence on the atmospheric CH4 levels. Our conclusion stems from complementary measurements at the seafloor, in the ocean, and in the atmosphere from land-based, ship and aircraft platforms during a summer campaign in 2014. We detected high ...
    • Influence of local and regional air pollution on atmospheric measurements in Ny-Ålesund 

      Dekhtyareva, Alena; Edvardsen, Kåre; Holmén, Kim; Hermansen, Ove; Hansson, Hans-Christen (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2016)
      The Zeppelin observatory is a research station near the village Ny-Ålesund in Svalbard. The facility delivers data to international projects devoted to high data quality monitoring of the background air pollution in the Arctic. An approach for quantifying the influence of local and regional pollution on measurements that may be misinterpreted as long-range transported one, is presented here. The ...
    • Influence of seasonal mesoscale and microscale meteorological conditions in Svalbard on results of monitoring of long-range transported pollution [poster] 

      Dekhtyareva, Alena; Holmén, Kim; Maturilli, Marion; Hermansen, Ove; Graversen, Rune (Conference object; Konferansebidrag, 2018)
      The Zeppelin Observatory is an atmospheric monitoring station located on the northwest coast of Spitzbergen island, in the Svalbard archipelago. The station provides background air composition, meteorological and climatological data for numerous research projects. The observatory is located on a mountain ridge in a region with complex topography that affects local atmospheric circulation ...
    • Methane at Svalbard and over the European Arctic Ocean 

      Platt, Stephen Matthew; Eckhardt, Sabine; Ferré, Benedicte; Fisher, Rebecca E.; Hermansen, Ove; Jansson, Pär; Lowry, David; Nisbet, Euan G.; Pisso, Ignacio; Schmidbauer, Norbert; Silyakova, Anna; Stohl, Andreas; Svendby, Tove Marit; Vadakkepuliyambatta, Sunil; Mienert, Jurgen; Myhre, Cathrine Lund (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2018-12-05)
      Methane (CH<sub>4</sub>) is a powerful greenhouse gas. Its atmospheric mixing ratios have been increasing since 2005. Therefore, quantification of CH<sub>4</sub> sources is essential for effective climate change mitigation. Here we report observations of the CH<sub>4</sub> mixing ratios measured at the Zeppelin Observatory (Svalbard) in the Arctic and aboard the research vessel (RV) Helmer Hanssen ...
    • Springtime nitrogen oxides and tropospheric ozone in Svalbard: results from the measurement station network 

      Dekhtyareva, Alena; Hermanson, Mark H.; NIkulina, Anna; Hermansen, Ove; Svendby, Tove Marit; Holmén, Kim; Graversen, Rune Grand (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-09-09)
      Svalbard is a remote and scarcely populated Arctic archipelago and is considered to be mostly influenced by long-range-transported air pollution. However, there are also local emission sources such as coal and diesel power plants, snowmobiles and ships, but their influence on the background concentrations of trace gases has not been thoroughly assessed. This study is based on data of tropospheric ...
    • Temporal variability in surface water pCO2 in Adventfjorden (West Spitsbergen) with emphasis on physical and biogeochemical drivers 

      Ericson, Ylva; Falck, Eva; Chierici, Melissa; Fransson, Agneta; Kristiansen, Svein; Platt, Stephen Matthew; Hermansen, Ove; Myhre, Cathrine Lund (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2018-06-26)
      Seasonal and interannual variability in surface water partial pressure of CO<sub>2</sub> (<i>p</i>CO2) and air‐sea CO<sub>2</sub> fluxes from a West Spitsbergen fjord (IsA Station, Adventfjorden) are presented, and the associated driving forces are evaluated. Marine CO<sub>2</sub> system data together with temperature, salinity, and nutrients, were collected at the IsA Station between March 2015 and ...
