Marine Organic Halide and Isoprene Emissions Near Mace Head, Ireland
Abstract
Vertical profiles of the concentration of several alkyl halides, as well as isoprene, were made from the surface to 200 m, using a tethered balloon platform, near Mace Head, Ireland in September-October 2003. Profiles indicate a surface source of several alkyl halides. Alkyl halides have been proposed as a source of new particles in the atmosphere. Estimates of emission rates (μg m-2 h-1) were made using a flux-gradient technique for CH2Br2 (0.8), CHBr3 (6), CH2IBr (0.1), CH2I2 (0.1), and isoprene (24). © CSIRO 2005.
