Abstract(s)

Terceira Island (38.691º; 27.354º; 50 m altitude) in the Azores Archipelago, developed to provide a base for remote marine boundary layer measurements at a location near the PICO-NARE (Honrath & Fialho, 2002) (Figure 1). In order to determine a long term carbonaceous component of atmospheric aerosols in North Atlantic, measurements of aerosol BC and EC were begun in 2002. EC and BC define similar fraction of the carbonaceous component of atmospheric aerosols and are supposed to be comparable, but have a delicate different thermal, optical and chemical behaviour in most cases (Lavanchy et al., 1999).
