Screening of transformation products in soils contaminated with unsymmetrical dimethylhydrazine using headspace SPME and GC–MS
The paper describes a novel SPME-based approach for sampling and analysis of transformation products of highly reactive and toxic unsymmetrical dimethylhydrazine (UDMH) which is used as a fuel in many Russian, European, Indian, and Chinese heavy cargo carrier rockets. The effects of several parameters were studied to optimize analyte recovery. It was found that the 85 μm Carboxen/polydimethylsiloxane fiber coating provides the highest selectivity for selected UDMH transformation products. Optimal sampling/sample preparation parameters were determined to be 1-h soil headspace sampling time at 40 °C. The GC inlet temperature was optimized to 170 °C held for 0.1 min, then 1 °C s−1 ramp to 250 °C where it was held for 40 min. Temperature programing resulted in a fast desorption along with minimal chemical transformation in the GC inlet. SPME was very effective extracting UDMH transformation products from soil samples contaminated with rocket fuel. The use of SPME resulted in high sensitivity, speed, small labor consumption due to an automation and simplicity of use. It was shown that water addition to soil leads to a significant decrease of recovery of almost all target transformation products of UDMH. The use of SPME for sampling and sample preparation resulted in detection of the total of 21 new compounds that are relevant to the UDMH transformation in soils. In addition, the number of confirmed transformation products of UDMH increased from 15 to 27. This sampling/sample preparation approach can be recommended for environmental assessment of soil samples from areas affected by space rocket activity.This is a manuscript of an article published as Kenessov, Bulat N., Jacek A.

Meteorological tower data from Oksebåsen near the coast of Andøya, Norway during March 2021
During a 2-week measurement campaign from 15-31 March 2021 (ISLAS2021), we collected a comprehensive dataset characterizing the atmospheric water vapour and precipitation stable isotope and aerosol composition at a coastal station in the European sub-Arctic. Located at the northeastern coast of the Nordic Seas, stable water isotope measurements with cavity ring-down spectrometers (CRDS) were collected at Andenes, Norway close to sea level and at the nearby ALOMAR mountain top observatory at 370 m a.s.l. Paired water vapour isotope and precipitation measurements at sub-event time resolution were collected at both station locations. These were supplemented with water vapour isotope measurements at the cities of Tromsø, Norway and Bergen, Norway. Surface precipitation samples were collected on a per-event basis along a transect towards the south to assess spatial representativeness. Measurements of ice nucleating particle concentrations were taken at sea level during precipitation events, supplemented by continuous size-resolved aerosol measurements. These detailed measurements were complemented by additional instrumentation to characterize the atmospheric conditions, including ground-based vertical-pointing rain radars, disdrometer, frequent radiosonde ascents and a ceilometer. All stable water isotope measurements have been calibrated onto the VSMOW-SLAP scale. During the campaign, weather conditions were alternating rapidly between warm mid-latitude air masses and marine cold-air outbreak conditions. The data from the ISLAS2021 measurement campaign therefore provide insight into a variety of mixed-phase precipitation processes, atmospheric long-range transport, and the dynamics of high-latitude weather system with the combined perspective of stable water isotopes and aerosol measurements.
This dataset contains measurements of wind speed, wind direction, vertical velocity at 7 elevations from a 108 m tall meteorological tower installed at Oksebåsen near the measurement site at the Coast. Wind measurements were averaged from the original 1s acquisition frequency to 10s time resolution. Additionally, air temperature, air pressure, and relative humidity at the lowest measurement height are included with the data set
