GAW Longterm Aerosol Monitoring at the High-Altitude Research Station Jungfraujoch


Duration: Continuous since 1995
Funding: GAW-CH coordinated by the Federal Office of Meteorology and Climatology (MeteoSwiss)
Contact: Benjamin Brem (benjamin.brem@psi.ch) and Martin Gysel-Beer (martin.gysel@psi.ch)

Scope of Project

Aerosol inlets on top the Sphinx Laboratory at Jungfraujoch. Interstitial inlet (left), total inlet (right), SMPS (in the back), Aletsch Glacier (further in the back).
Inlets for continuous aerosol observations at the Jungfraujoch research station.

In 1988 the Paul Scherrer Institute (PSI) initiated an aerosol research programme at the high Alpine Research Station Jungfraujoch (3580 m asl). Since 1995 the Laboratory of Atmospheric Chemistry at PSI has been responsible for the continuous aerosol measurements performed at Jungfraujoch within the Swiss contribution to the Global Atmosphere Watch (GAW) program of the World Meteorological Organization. In Europe, the GAW program is tightly linked to the Aerosol, Clouds and Traces Gases Research Infrastructure (ACTRIS). This site also serves as a platform for international research projects to investigate aerosol processes and environmental impacts through e.g. their interaction with solar radiation or clouds.

Research Topics

The broader aim of our longterm observations and associated research projects performed at the high-altitude research station Jungfraujoch is to achieve a better understanding of the live-cycle of atmospheric aerosols and their climate and weather impacts. Given the location high up in the alps, its is possible to probe free tropospheric background aerosol and to investigate transport events of particles originating from within the polluted planetary boundary layer, where the vast majority of aerosol emissions occur. Specific topics include:

  • An overview of more than 20 years of aerosol observation at the high altitude research station Jungfraujoch is given in Bukowiecki et al., 2016 (covers studies published until 2016)
  • Spatial variation of aerosol properties on global scale (e.g. Laj et al., 2020) and trend analyses (e.g. Collaud Coen et al., 2020)
  • Soot particle properties and associated ability to form cloud droplets (e.g. Motos et al., 2020; Motos et al., 2019)
  • Provision of comprehensive data sets (e.g. Schmale et al., 2018; Schmale et al., 2017) for benchmarking of global model simulations (e.g. Fanourgakis et al., 2019)
  • Processes shaping the aerosol particle size distributions, including new particle formation and subsequent growth (e.g. Bianchi et al. 2016; Tröstl et al., 2016; Herrmann et al., 2015)
  • Various aspects of aerosol-cloud interactions in warm clouds (liquid water clouds), for example investigating the interplay of dynamics (updraft) and number concentration of potential cloud condensation nuclei in determining cloud droplet number concentration (e.g. Hoyle et al., 2016; Hammer et al., 2014). Aforementioned two parameters are intrinsically coupled through cloud peak supersaturation and cut-off diameter above which particles activate to form cloud droplet.
  • Physico-chemical characterization of ice nucleating particles in mixed-phase and glaciated clouds (e.g. Kupiszewski et al., 2016; Lacher et al., in press)
  • Aerosol chemical composition (e.g. Fröhlich et al., 2015)
  • Properties of aerosols in distinct plumes from sources such as volcanoes or Saharan dust after intra- or intercontinental long-range transport (e.g. Bukowiecki et al., 2011; Collaud Coen et al., 2004)
  • Vertical transport of pollutants from the boundary layer to the Jungfraujoch (e.g. Collaud Coen et al., 2011)
  • Hygroscopic water uptake by particles as a function of relative humidity and their ability to act as cloud condensation nuclei (e.g. Kammermann et al., 2010; Jurányi et al., 2011)

Data Products: Realtime and Quality Controlled

Environmental impacts of atmospheric aerosols depend on many different physical, optical and chemical properties of the particles which are highly variable in time and space. Furthermore, many additional atmospheric parameters influence aerosol processes driving these impacts. In order to understand these processes and to quantify aerosol impacts, it is therefore of crucial importance to run multi-site and multi-parameter atmospheric observation networks and to make acquired data available to the research community.

Visualizations of current concentration and properties of aerosol particles observed at the Jungfraujoch research station are presented in near real-time at: https://www.psi.ch/en/lac/projects/last-72h-of-aerosol-data-from-jungfraujoch.

Quality controlled aerosol data are made available through the portal of the EBAS database infrastructure, which serves as international data center hosting atmospheric composition data from the GAW (https://www.gaw-wdca.org/) and several other observation networks.
