• 25-years Svalbard data record reveals change in long-range transport of sulphur agents to the warming Arctic 

      Dekhtyareva, Alena (Conference object, 2019)
      Current study investigates the 25-years seasonal trend in the concentration of SO2and non-sea salt SO42-and compares observed changes with the evolution in emission of sulphur agents in primary source regions of anthropogenic aerosols and alteration in characteristics of air masses transporting pollutants to Svalbard.
    • 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 ...
    • 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 ...
    • Monitoring of nitrogen oxides at Svalbard: measurements in Adventdalen

    • On local and long-range transported air pollution in Svalbard 

      Dekhtyareva, Alena (Doctoral thesis; Doktorgradsavhandling, 2019-09-11)
      Climate change, health of the residents and ecosystems in the Arctic region are impacted by local and long-range transported air pollution. Local emissions in the Arctic are important, but overlooked issue. Despite there have been extensive modelling and measurement studies of long-range transport of short-lived climate forcers to Svalbard, the effect of local emissions from diesel and coal power ...
    • Quantifying influence of local air pollution on measurements in Ny-Ålesund and at the Zeppelin station 

      Dekhtyareva, Alena (Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2014-06-02)
      In order to keep the scientific significance of the Ny-Ålesund station on Svalbard as the key place for the monitoring of background air it is needed to assess the influence from local human activities on the air quality. Whether research and tourist activity continues to grow or restrictions to be implied the change of impact may affect air chemistry data quality. Therefore the identification of ...
    • 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 ...
    • Vertical profiles of black carbon and nanoparticles pollutants measured by a tethered balloon in Longyearbyen (Svalbard islands) 

      Cappelletti, David; Petroselli, Chiara; Mateos, David; Herreras, Marcos; Ferrero, Luca; Losi, Niccolò; Gregorič, Asta; Frangipani, Claudia; La Porta, Gianandrea; Lonardi, Michael; Chernov, Dmitry; Dekhtyareva, Alena (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-09-09)
      Airborne meteorological and aerosol measurements have been performed in Longyearbyen (Svalbard islands) in the summer of 2018, coupling an instrumental aerosol payload with a meteorological radiosonde deployed on a tethered balloon. More than 70 vertical profiles of aerosol and meteorological properties have been recorded up to a maximum altitude of 1.2 km. As a main result, the present work provides ...
