Abstract. Observations of naturally enhanced ion acoustic lines (NEIALs) taken with the Poker Flat Incoherent Scatter Radar (PFISR) using a mode with very high time resolution are presented. The auroral event took place over Poker Flat, Alaska on 8 February 2007 at 09:35 UT (~22:00 MLT), and the radar data are complemented by common-volume high-resolution auroral imaging. The NEIALs occurred during only one of the standard 15-s integration periods. The raw data of this time show very intermittent NEIALs which occur only during a few very short time intervals (≤1 s) within the 15-s period. The time sampling of the raw data, ~19 ms on average, allows study of the time development of the NEIALs, though there are indications that even finer time resolution would be of interest. The analysis is based on the assumption that the NEIAL returns are the result of Bragg scattering from ion-acoustic waves that have been enhanced significantly above thermal levels. The spectra of the raw data indicate that although the up- and down-shifted shoulders can both become enhanced at the same time, (within 19 ms), they are most often enhanced individually. The overall power in the up-and down-shifted shoulders is approximately equal throughout the event, with the exception of one time, when very large up-shifted power was observed with no corresponding down-shifted power. This indicates that during the 480 μs pulse, the strongly enhanced ion-acoustic waves were only traveling downward and not upward. The exact time that the NEIALs occurred was when the radar beam was on the boundary of a fast-moving (~10 km/s), bright auroral structure, as seen in the high resolution auroral imaging of the magnetic zenith. When viewed with high time resolution, the occurrence of NEIALs is associated with rapid changes in auroral luminosity within the radar field of view due to fast-moving auroral fine structures.

The new detector MEPSICRON (microchannel electron position sensor with time resolution) is an image photomultiplier sensor for high spatial and time resolution, working in a photon counting regime. It has been especially designed for deep sky photometric pictures, for high resolution spectrophotometry with single or crossed dispersion spectrographs for long slit spectroscopic techniques, for high time resolution pictures and spectrophotometry especially related with speckles techniques and very fast varying sources as pulsars, and for Fabry-Pérot interferometry.

<p>PM<sub>2.5 </sub>is considered to be the most dangerous form of air pollution and is formed of a complex mixture of both primary and secondary species, from both biogenic and anthropogenic sources. Organic aerosol, comprised of modern carbon has been shown to dominate even in urban settings, but sources and formation mechanism of these biogenic aerosol in the ambient atmosphere remain uncertain. The collection and offline analysis of PM<sub>2.5 </sub>aerosol samples allows for highly detailed molecular level compositional information to be obtained, but at the cost of time resolution. Previous studies have collected 23-hour offline filters, which although allowing for seasonal changes to be studied, cannot resolve diurnal variations. However, due to recent advances in high-resolution mass spectrometers, the time resolution of offline filters can now be increased. This study utilises high time resolution offline filters collected in Guangzhou, China across two campaigns during summer and winter. Filters were collected every 2 hours during the day (06:00 – 21:00), with a longer collection overnight (21:00-06:00), alongside a suite of complementary gas phase measurements. Guangzhou represents an interesting case study for biogenic secondary organic aerosol (BSOA) especially biogenic-anthropogenic interactions due to its tropical location and high levels of flora, but also located in one of the most densely populated regions of the world within the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macau Greater Bay area, with a combined population of 71.2 million people.</p><p>This study presents ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography, high-resolution mass spectrometry measurements of BSOA tracers identified in the ambient PM<sub>2.5 </sub>samples at the highest time resolution studied so far. A library of 180 potential BSOA tracers from isoprene, monoterpenes and sesquiterpenes was developed containing acid species (CHO), organosulfates (CHOS) and nitrooxy organosulfates (CHOSN). The BSOA tracers were quantified using a mixture of authentic standards, proxy standards and modelled RIE factors for accurate quantification. Matrix suppression factors were also determined for both CHO and CHOS/CHOSN species, splitting the compounds into groups based on their retention time (RT), with species eluting before 2 min showing the largest matrix suppression.</p><p>Strong diurnal variations were observed for some species while others showed little or no diurnal variation suggesting nonlocal sources, and as such provides insight into how long-range sources can affect BSOA concentrations. Tracers were also correlated to anthropogenic pollutants such as NO<sub>X</sub> and SO<sub>2</sub> as well as sulfate and nitrate measured via ion chromatography, improving our understanding of biogenic-anthropogenic interactions. Comparisons between summer and winter allowed insight into seasonal processes and concentrations, with the potential for different long-range sources. Finally, this study presents comparisons to a growing field of offline BSOA measurements, providing a more comprehensive picture of the contributions BSOA makes to PM<sub>2.5</sub> concentrations.</p>

AbstractThis paper deals with a possibility to use the ground-based method of observation in order to solve basic problems connected with the solar corona research. Namely:1.heating of the solar corona2.course of the global cycle in the corona3.rotation of the solar corona and development of active regions.There is stressed a possibility of high-time resolution of the coronal line photometer at Lomnický Peak coronal station, and use of the latter to obtain crucial observations.
