In the context of climate change with increasingly pronounced impacts, year 2022 in France has been the warmest year ever observed. It has been the case more specifically during July, when a severe heatwave occurred across North-Western Europe. Sea-level temperature anomalies jumped over +12°C, especially in the Western half of France, pushing back all-time records. Associated to extreme temperature occurred a severe drought, with long-lasting precipitation deficit throughout the year, which was amplified during July. With around 80% deficit, July 2022 in France has also been the driest ever recorded. These singular meteorological conditions were therefore a fertile ground for forest fires. Around 70 000 ha of forest have burned in France during 2022. The South-West region has been particularly impacted during July 2022, as well as other areas which are not usually subject to this kind of events (Brittany, Center, Paris region). During July 2022 occurred the ACROSS field campaign within the Paris region, where several sites following a South-West to North-East transect provided comprehensive characterization of atmospheric composition. Namely Rambouillet station (forest, SW of Paris), SIRTA (peri-urban, SW of Paris), PRG (urban, Paris center) and Chatelet Les Halles (urban, Paris center). These sites were equiped with state-of-the-art instrumentations to characterize aerosols and reactive gases. On July 19th, an intense biomass burning plume went through the Paris region, with PM10 concentrations reaching more than 150µg/m3. The experimental effort during that period is therefore a unique asset in order to characterize the composition of this episode. Most of the sites, during that episode, record high concentrations of carbonaceous aerosols (organic matter and black carbon) and Volatile Organic Compounds tracers of biomass burning (eg acetonitrile, benzene, toluene). Temporality of the episode, atmospheric dynamics and air mass pathways, suggest the transport of a biomass burning plume from South-Western France, more than 600km away from Paris. However, aerosol size distribution surpringly reveals the influence of local fires occuring near some of the sites, at almost the same time. This work is therefore focusing on the different properties of different plumes mixing at the same time over a densely urbanized region. These differences can be highlighted by source apportionment, combined with size distribution, as well as oxydation state of organic aerosols.
