Tropospheric and Surface Measurements of Combustion Tracers During the 2021 Mediterranean Wildfire Crisis: Insights from the WMO/GAW Site of Lamezia Terme in Calabria, Southern Ita... by Francesco D’Amico, Giorgia De Benedetto, Luana Malacaria, Salvatore Sinopoli, Claudia Roberta Calidonna, Daniel Gullì, Ivano Ammoscato, Teresa Lo Feudo

“…In order to correlate the observed peaks with wildfires, surface BC (black carbon) was also analyzed. The analysis, which focused on July and August 2021, has allowed the definition of three case studies, each highlighting distinct sources of emission in the Mediterranean; the case studies were further evaluated using HYSPLIT backtrajectories and CAMS products. …”
