Satellite- and ground-based CO total column observations over 2010 Russian fires: accuracy of top-down estimates based on thermal IR satellite data

Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics, 2011

CO total column data are presented from three space sounders and two ground-based spectrometers in Moscow and its suburbs during the forest and peat fires that occurred in Central Russia in July-August 2010. Also presented are ground-based in situ CO measurements. The Moscow area was strongly impacted by the CO plume from these fires. Concurrent satellite-and ground-based observations were used to quantify the errors of CO top-down emission estimates. On certain days, CO total columns retrieved from the data of the space-based sounders were 2-3 times less than those obtained from the ground-based sun-tracking spectrometers. The depth of the polluted layer over Moscow was estimated using total column measurements compared with CO volume mixing ratios in the surface layer and on the TV tower and found to be around 360 m. The missing CO that is the average difference between the CO total column accurately determined by the ground spectrometers and that retrieved by AIRS, MOPITT, and IASI was determined for the Moscow area between 1.6 and 3.3 × 10 18 molec cm −2 . These values were extrapolated onto the entire plume; subsequently, the CO burden (total mass) over Russia during the fire event was corrected. A top-down estimate of the total emitted CO, obtained by a simple mass balance model increased by 40-100 % for different sensors due to this correction. Final assessments of total CO emitted by Russian wildfires obtained from different sounders are between 34 and 40 Tg CO during

Using a moving measurement platform for determining the chemical composition of atmospheric aerosols between Moscow and Vladivostok

Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics, 2007

The TROICA-9 expedition (Trans-Siberian Observations Into the Chemistry of the Atmosphere) was carried out at the Trans-Siberian railway between Moscow and Vladivostok in October 2005. Measurements of aerosol physical and chemical properties were made from an observatory carriage connected to a passenger train. Black carbon (BC) concentrations in fine particles (PM 2.5 , aerodynamic diameter <2.5 µm) were measured with an aethalometer using a five-minute time resolution. Concentrations of inorganic ions and some organic compounds (Cl − , NO − 3 , SO 2− 4 , Na + , NH + 4 , K + , Ca 2+ , Mg 2+ , oxalate and methane sulphonate) were measured continuously by using an on-line system with a 15-min time resolution. In addition, particle volume size distributions were determined for particles in the diameter range 3-850 nm using a 10-min time resolution. The continuous measurements were completed with 24-h PM 2.5 filter samples stored in a refrigerator and analyzed later in a chemical laboratory. The analyses included the mass concentrations of PM 2.5 , ions, monosaccharide anhydrides (levoglucosan, galactosan and mannosan) and trace elements (Al, As, Cd, Co, Cr, Cu, Fe, Mn, Ni, Pb, Sb, V and Zn). The mass concentrations of PM 2.5 varied in the range of 4.3-34.8 µg m −3 with an average of 21.6 µg m −3 . Fine particle mass consisted mainly of BC (average 27.6%), SO 2− 4

Oxazolo[3,2-a]pyridinium and oxazolo[3,2-a]pyrimidinium salts in organic synthesis

Russian Chemical Bulletin, 2008

The methods for the synthesis of oxazolo[3,2 a]pyridinium and oxazolo[3,2 a]pyrimidinium salts and their reactivities are reviewed. Both systems exhibit ambident properties in reactions with nucleophiles; depending on the substituents and the reagents, both the oxazole and azine rings can undergo opening and transformations. A number of new methodologies involving oxazolopyridini um and oxazolopyrimidinium salts for the design of functionalized oxazoles, imidazoles, fused pyrroles, and other heterocyclic systems are generalized.

Combinatorial chemistry in higher school: Ten-year experience of research, educational, and managerial projects

Russian Journal of General Chemistry, 2010

Short overview is given of the author's group activities over the last decade in the research, educational and other projects related to combinatorial chemistry. The discovery of novel reactions and classes of heterocyclic scaffolds (oxazoles, indolizines, and imidazoles) led to new libraries, for which different types of biological activity (antimicrobial, adrenergic, anxiolytic, and anti-protozoal) was predicted and experimentally confirmed. Education of students at the Moscow State University with practical combinatorial chemistry course is reviewed, as well as other initiatives related to promotion of combinatorial chemistry in Russia.
