abstract = {Urban air quality and human health are among the key
aspects of future urban planning. In order to address
pollutants such as ozone and particulate matter, efforts
need to be made to quantify and reduce their concentrations.
One important aspect in understanding urban air quality is
the influence of urban vegetation which may act as both
emitter and sink for trace gases and aerosol particles. In
this context, the "Berlin Air quality and Ecosystem
Research: Local and long-range Impact of anthropogenic and
Natural hydrocarbons 2014" (BAERLIN2014) campaign was
conducted between 2 June and 29 August in the metropolitan
area of Berlin and Brandenburg, Germany. The predominant
goals of the campaign were (1) the characterization of urban
gaseous and particulate pollution and its attribution to
anthropogenic and natural sources in the region of interest,
especially considering the connection between biogenic
volatile organic compounds and particulates and ozone; (2)
the quantification of the impact of urban vegetation on
organic trace gas levels and the presence of oxidants such
as ozone; and (3) to explain the local heterogeneity of
pollutants by defining the distribution of sources and sinks
relevant for the interpretation of model simulations. In
order to do so, the campaign included stationary
measurements at urban background station and mobile
observations carried out from bicycle, van and airborne
platforms. This paper provides an overview of the mobile
measurements (Mobile BAERLIN2014) and general conclusions
drawn from the analysis. Bicycle measurements showed
micro-scale variations of temperature and particulate
matter, displaying a substantial reduction of mean
temperatures and particulate levels in the proximity of
vegetated areas compared to typical urban residential area
(background) measurements. Van measurements extended the
area covered by bicycle observations and included continuous
measurements of O3, NOx, CO, CO2 and point-wise measurement
of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) at representative sites
for traffic- and vegetation-affected sites. The
quantification displayed notable horizontal heterogeneity of
the short-lived gases and particle number concentrations.
For example, baseline concentrations of the traffic-related
chemical species CO and NO varied on average by up to ±22.2
and $±63.5 \%,$ respectively, on the scale of 100 m
around any measurement location. Airborne observations
revealed the dominant source of elevated urban particulate
number and mass concentrations being local, i.e., not being
caused by long-range transport. Surface-based observations
related these two parameters predominantly to traffic
sources. Vegetated areas lowered the pollutant
concentrations substantially with ozone being reduced most
by coniferous forests, which is most likely caused by their
reactive biogenic VOC emissions. With respect to the overall
potential to reduce air pollutant levels, forests were found
to result in the largest decrease, followed by parks and
facilities for sports and leisure. Surface temperature was
generally 0.6–2.1 °C lower in vegetated regions, which
in turn will have an impact on tropospheric chemical
processes. Based on our findings, effective future
mitigation activities to provide a more sustainable and
healthier urban environment should focus predominantly on
reducing fossil-fuel emissions from traffic as well as on
increasing vegetated areas.},
