abstract = {The study investigates the sources of fine organic aerosol
(OA) in the boreal forest, based on measurements including
both filter sampling (PM1) and online methods and carried
out during a one-month campaign held in Hyytiala, Finland,
in spring 2007. Two aerosol mass spectrometers (Q-AMS,
ToF-AMS) were employed to measure on-line concentrations of
major non-refractory aerosol species, while the water
extracts of the filter samples were analyzed by nuclear
magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy for organic functional
group characterization of the polar organic fraction of the
aerosol. AMS and NMR spectra were processed separately by
non-negative factorization algorithms, in order to apportion
the main components underlying the submicrometer organic
aerosol composition and depict them in terms of both mass
fragmentation patterns and functional group compositions.The
NMR results supported the AMS speciation of oxidized organic
aerosol (OOA) into two main fractions, which could be
generally labelled as more and less oxidized organics. The
more oxidized component was characterized by a mass spectrum
dominated by the m/z 44 peak, and in parallel by a NMR
spectrum showing aromatic and aliphatic backbones highly
substituted with oxygenated functional groups
(carbonyls/carboxyls and hydroxyls). Such component,
contributing on average $50\%$ of the OA mass throughout the
observing period, was associated with pollution outbreaks
from the Central Europe. The less oxidized component was
enhanced in concomitance with air masses originating from
the North-to-West sector, in agreement with previous
investigations conducted at this site. NMR factor analysis
was able to separate two distinct components under the less
oxidized fraction of OA. One of these NMR-factors was
associated with the formation of terrestrial biogenic
secondary organic aerosol (BSOA), based on the comparison
with spectral profiles obtained from laboratory experiments
of terpenes photo-oxidation. The second NMR factor
associated with western air masses was linked to biogenic
marine sources, and was enriched in low-molecular weight
aliphatic amines. Such findings provide evidence of at least
two independent sources originating biogenic organic
aerosols in Hyytiala by oxidation and condensation
mechanisms: reactive terpenes emitted by the boreal forest
and compounds of marine origin, with the latter relatively
more important when predominantly polar air masses reach the
site.This study is an example of how spectroscopic
techniques, such as proton NMR, can add functional group
specificity for certain chemical features (like aromatics)
of OA with respect to AMS. They can therefore be profitably
exploited to complement aerosol mass spectrometric
measurements in organic source apportionment studies.},
