Cover Story: Are atmospheric composition changes due to COVID-19 restrictions visible in the Alps? What pollutant emission sources are most affected by the lockdown? How large is the influence of meteorology? Based on multi-technique measurements at the surface and observations along the vertical column throughout 2020, we quantify the “lockdown effect” in an Alpine valley. Variations due to reduced emissions, partly offset by the influence of meteorology and pollutant transport, are assessed based on source apportionment techniques, machine-learning methods, and chemical transport models.
