Monzali Matteo

Monzali Matteo I am a Ph.D. candidate at the University of Milano-Bicocca in Milan, Italy.
My background includes a bachelor's degree in Physics and Astrophysics from the University of Florence, followed by a master's degree in Physics of the Earth System at the University of Bologna.
My research focuses on snow and ice multispectral remote sensing, where I investigate the physical properties of the snowpack and the radiative effects that dust and algae have on it. Beyond my primary research, I am interested in drones, instrumentation, and atmospheric dynamics.

MDI

A permanent instrumented mooring has been installed in the inner part of Kongsfjorden (Svalbard Islands) at a depth of about 100 m with the aim of studying the intensity and composition of the flows of particles falling to the sea bottom, while monitoring the main physical properties of the water column. The mooring called Dirigibile Italia (MDI) was first installed in September 2010 and is serviced annually. The data acquired and stored by the various instruments are downloaded during maintenance, checked for QA/QC and uploaded to the Italian Article Data Center (IADC).
A 10-year time series of data for climate purposes is currently available.
MDI allows us to continuously monitor the variations of the thermohaline characteristics of:
a) surface water from glacier melting;
b) intermediate water that derives from the intrusion of Atlantic-type water;
c) bottom water produced locally during the winter.
Furthermore, through the collection of particulate matter, information is acquired on sedimentary processes and interactions between water and particulate matter with microzooplankton, glaciers and coastal runoff. The complex interplay between the processes that drive the input of native (marine) and alien (terrestrial) particles into Kongsfjorden has now been understood, some interpretations of possible future changes in particle flows for Arctic fjords in a warming scenario global can be suggested.

The oceanographic sensors on MDI are positioned along the mooring at different levels in the water column. The list of measured parameters includes:
- water temperature at 25, 36, 54, 62, 85 and 92 m
- speed and direction of currents at 37 and 93 m
- conductivity / salinity at 25 and 85 m
- turbidity and dissolved oxygen at 85 m
- total mass and particulate organic carbon flows at 83 m.
A hydrological survey is also performed every year, mainly during the summer, to obtain a seasonal picture of the spatial distribution of the different water masses in the fjord. For this purpose, a grid of about 15 stations is repeatedly measured for the main chemical-physical characteristics of the water masses: temperature, conductivity and turbidity.

MS1 and ID2

The water masses in the eastern Fram Strait are strongly influenced by the interaction between the Atlantic and Arctic waters, and by local atmospheric forcing. They clearly contribute to driving thermohaline circulation on a global scale. There is considerable variability in the system due to the different forcings (for example, atmospheric, internal, tidal, shelf dynamics) that play an important role, especially in the most superficial layer of the ocean. On the contrary, it is not entirely clear which processes are responsible for the inter-annual and seasonal variability of the deep flow in the western Spitsbergen offshore region.

To this end, in 2014 the oceanographic deep-sea mooring called MS1 was permanently installed, located southwest of Svalbard at about 1040 m depth (Lat. 76° 26.28'N Lon. 13° 56.91'E) in a joint effort between CNR and OGS. Long-term time series are essential for studying climate change, particularly in polar areas, which are extremely sensitive to global warming and sea / land ice melt. A twin mooring, called ID2, was placed 140 km north of anchor MS1 at approximately the same water depth in the years 2014-2016 and 2017-2018, in order to monitor spatial differences of in the properties and dynamics of the water along the Spitsbergen margin.

These undersea infrastructures represent the continuation of the experiment conducted in 2010-2011 as part of the EU-Hermione project with the launching of four moorings for one year along the Storfjorden continental slope to monitor the shelf-fjord exchanges and the platform dense water cascading events.

The MS1 and ID2 mooring are serviced annually by various research vessels (R/V Helmer Hansen, GO SARS, Polarstern, Alliance), and are supported by international collaborations and numerous projects/initiatives: EU-Eurofleets (PREPARED, BURSTER projects), the Italian PNRA program (DEFROST project). Since 2017, they are also supported by the IIM HIGH NORTH Italian Navy program managed by the Hydrographic Institute of the Navy (IIM) in collaboration with the Center for Maritime Research and Experimentation (CMRE-NATO).

Data from MS1 and ID2 were used to contribute to the first two issues of The State of Environmental Science in Svalbard - an annual report (SESS Report) published by SIOS (Svalbard Integrated Observing System) in 2018 and 2019 (SOA project). Mooring data are downloaded in delayed mode during mooring maintenance, checked for QA/QC and stored in the OGS NODC data center with connection to SeaDataNet. At present, the data on temperature, salinity, dissolved oxygen, turbidity and horizontal currents cover a time period from June 2014 to October 2019. Information on sedimentary processes and interactions with mesozooplankton, glaciers and coastal runoff are acquired by collecting the particulate that sinks along the water column using automatic sediment traps.

Oceanographic sensors are tied to different levels in the deepest part of the water column. The list of parameters measured in the MS1 anchoring in its most recent configuration (v2019) includes:
- water temperature at 894, 909, 984, 1009 and 1115 m
- speed and direction of currents at 909, 984 and 1015 m
- conductivity/salinity and dissolved oxygen at 1009 m
- total mass and particulate organic carbon fluxes at 1009 m.

The time series of temperature and salinity are checked by comparing them with the data of the CTD drops performed before and after maintenance of the mooring.
The main institutions involved are: CNR with CNR-ISP and CNR-ISMAR, OGS and IIM.

Moorings South Adriatic

Ancoraggi strumentati Sud Adriatico - ULTIMO TITOLO Ancoraggio Strumentato Permanente Adriatico (ex) MSA AGGIORAMENTO 2023

Description of Southern Adriatic Sea Observing Site

The southern Adriatic is the deepest part of the Adriatic Sea with a maximum depth of 1200 m. In its western side, surface waters coming from the northern Adriatic spread southward along the Italian coast, whereas the surface Ionian waters flow along the eastern margin of the basin. Below the surface layer, the MLIW (Modified Levantine Intermediate Water), from the Eastern Mediterranean basin, enters the Adriatic Sea on the eastern side of the Otranto Strait, at 200-600 m depth.
The southern Adriatic is a site of dense water formation. The Adriatic Deep Water (AdDW) is generated through deep vertical convection, caused by surface heat losses following cold continental wind events occurring in late winter. Occasionally, the North Adriatic Deep Water (NAdDW), produced by surface heat loss and evaporation driven by Bora storms during winter in the Northern Adriatic Sea, contribute to the AdDW. The NAdDW constitutes the densest waters of the whole Easter Mediterranean, it flows mostly along the western shelf of the central Adriatic Sea as a bottom-arrested density current and arrives to the Gargano Peninsula after 2–4 months since it has been produced. Recently shorter arrival times (3-4 weeks) have been observed. Once it reaches the edge of the continental shelf it sinks toward the center of the Southern Adriatic along the slope in front of the Gargano promontory or through the Bari canyon, carrying dissolved oxygen, nutrients, particulate matter, and pollutants to deep benthic ecosystems.

With the aim to monitor the arrival and the path of the dense waters coming from the northern Adriatic shelf, an observational system has been positioned based on three mooring lines: BB, EE and FF. This observational system has been activated and financed since 2004 by various scientific projects (EU-EuroSTRATAFORM, EU-HERMIONE, PRIN-OBAMA, EU-Perseus, EU-CoCoNet, Italian Flagship Project Ritmare (SP5-WP5-AZ3) and Italian Marine Strategy. In addition, these oceanographic moorings are part of the Italian Fixed Point Observatory Network (IFON) and, are supported by Planning and Grant Office of the CNR.
Since 2021, sites BB and FF, have become part of the European Multidisciplinary Seafloor and water column Observatory European-Research Infrastructure Consortium (EMSO-ERIC) as Regional Facility in the southern Adriatic Sea consisting of moorings BB and FF and observational site E2M3A operated by OGS Trieste. EMSO-ERIC is a European "diffuse" research infrastructure for ocean observation (https://emso.eu/), which enables long-term and also real-time monitoring of ocean processes. It consists of a system of Regional Facilities located at strategic marine sites in the European seas, Northeast Atlantic, Mediterranean Sea and Black Sea. Each site is equipped with multidisciplinary sensors placed on the seafloor and along the water column to continuously measure physical and bio-geochemical parameters that enable understanding and description of marine ecosystems, the monitoring of climate change, and provide information related to natural hazards. Participation in the EMSO-ERIC consortium also includes measurement of vertical fluxes of particulate matter, via of No. 2 sediment traps, in the deep mooring of the E2-M3A observatory (operated by OGS Trieste) located in the center of the Southern Adriatic Pit.

Participation in EMSO-ERIC is also supported by the activities of the consortium's Italian Joint Research Unit (https://www.emsoitalia.it/). Finally, the BB mooring is part of the Network of Long-term Continuous Measurements of Mediterranean Deepwater Temperature and Salinity (CIESM Hydrochanges Program).
The location of the sites was chosen upon the integration of morpho-bathymetric observations that defined the areas in which the passage of dense waters was more likely with forecasts based on the modeling of the outflow of the North Adriatic dense waters. The BB mooring is located in the northern branch of the Bari canyon, the EE mooring is located in an erosional area west of Dauno seamount, at about 1200m depth, and the FF mooring is on the continental slope in front of the Gargano promontory. Oceanographic sensors are fixed at different heights in the deepest part of the water column (Mooring BB).
The facilities are located offshore and can only be reached by ship. The nearest main docking port is Bari. Site BB is about 20 nm from the port, site FF is about 40 nm, site EE is 45 nm and site E2M3A is about 60 nm.
The instruments are equipped with internal memory and power supply. Oceanographic data are downloaded in delayed mode during mooring maintenance, which occurs semi-annually or annually. During maintenance, the moorings are retrieved to perform data offloading, trap sample collection, battery replacement, and functionality verification prior to redeployment. Such servicing have been performed using several CNR research vessels (R/V Urania, R/V Minerva Uno, and N/O G. Dallaporta) or ships of opportunity as part of the experimental activities of the aforementioned projects.
People involved: Stefano Miserocchi (stefano.miserocchi AT cnr.it), Leonardo Langone e Patrizia Giordano.

Data

Approximately six months after the servicing, data are available in their final form, following manual quality control procedures, metadata and storage in ISP-BO's internal data center. The acquired timeseries are post-processed to remove spikes, checked for consistency, and filtered to remove the effect of the tide (low pass filter). Periodic calibration of the sensors and comparison with measurements made from ship is also performed.
The data obtained, accompanied by metadata according to the conventions OceanSITES v1.4, SeaDataNet_1.0, COARDS and CF-1.6 are available in a plurality of formats (ASCII, NetCDF 3, NetCDF 4) through the ERDDAP data server: https://bo.isp.cnr.it/erddap/index.html.
The data produced by the South Adriatic observative site will also be available to the scientific community through the Data Portal of the EMSO-ERIC infrastructure, which includes appropriate visualization and representation tools.

Observation facilities

Polar and remote area research is supported not only by permanent stations but also by a series of observatories, that is, by permanent or semi-permanent infrastructures designed to allow for long-term, often automated, measurements.
Eight observatories report to the Institute of Polar Sciences, in various capacities: 6 in polar regions, of which 4 in the Arctic (Climate Change Tower, Gruvedabet and 2 Mooring: Kongfjorden and Storfjorden) and 2 in Antarctica (BSRN Station and Mooring del Ross Sea), and 2 in non-polar regions, of which 1 in the high altitude region (Col Margherita) and 1 in the Adriatic Sea (Mooring Southern Adriatic, MSA).

Oceanography

The oceans and the polar seas are studied for their physio-chemical and biological properties, their water mass circulation patterns, their exchange of heat and energy with the atmosphere and the geological processes that are active in the different oceanic basins that contribute to the deposition of marine sediments.

Scientists at the Institute of Polar Sciences deal with several aspects of oceanography in the polar seas:

Physical and chemical oceanography

The polar oceans are one of the most important elements driving global climate. Dense and cold waters produced at high latitudes spread throughout the oceans and contribute to the global ocean Conveyor Belt. These water masses transport both heat and dissolved substances, gases and particles around the globe, significantly affecting the overall composition of the oceans and, ultimately, the Earth's climate. The chemical composition of water masses flowing in the polar seas, including their trace elements, organic compounds, stable and radiogenic isotope composition, allows us to evaluate the relationships between the different water masses (e.g. old vs. recently ventilated waters) and improve our understanding of the underlying processes. These data will then be used by climate modelers to tune and refine model parameters to improve understanding of the interactions between the water masses and improve our knowledge of the overall global climate system.

Biological oceanography

The relationships between the abiotic and biotic components of the ecosystem generate a cyclical flow of matter in the epipelagic environment, which is driven by solar radiation and can be modified by natural and/or anthropogenic causes. Low temperatures and the absence of light in the meso- and bathypelagic zones are not limiting factors for life, including in the benthic habitat. The long polar night heavily affects life under the seasonal sea ice by reducing the supply of organic matter for the marine food web, which is forced to migrate during the winter months. In spring, the sea ice becomes the template habitat for a number of autotrophic and heterotrophic organisms. After melting, it releases a significant amount of essential nutrients and organic matter and promotes the fertilization of the sea. In summer, the marine trophic web participates in the transfer of organic matter towards the mainland, by partially contributing to the terrestrial food web in coastal areas.

Paleoceanography

Marine sediment cores collected in the polar regions represent a unique climate archive for studying recent global changes and past variations. The study of these archives can shed new light on the impact of different natural forcings, including sea ice extent, ocean productivity and volcanic eruptions, on the climatic evolution of our planet. One of the major topics in the climate change studies is the ability to discriminate between the natural variability of the climate system and the anthropogenic influence. Paleoceanography uses biological, physical and geochemical proxies which are measurable descriptors for key environmental variables. In particular, the analysis of trace elements, stable and radiogenic isotopes, organic compounds and biogenic silica in marine sedimentary archives and in biogenic carbonates (foraminifera, cold-water corals, barnacles) enables us to reconstruct past variations in seawater temperature, salinity, carbon cycle, sea ice extent, productivity, circulation and ventilation of the polar oceans. In addition, a better understanding of the natural climate variability through the acquisition of paleoceanographic data and the comparison with model simulations, helps us to improve the performance of predictive climate models. The Institute of Polar Sciences is actively involved in the acquisition of high resolution paleoceanographic records in the Ross Sea and in different regions of the Arctic Ocean as well as the development of new geochemical proxies for paleoclimate-related studies in the polar regions during the Quaternary.

Organic Geochemistry Laboratory

GeoChem - lab overview In the Organic Geochemistry Laboratory at the Institute of Polar Sciences in Bologna, researchers and students deal with modern processes and paleo reconstructions by coupling the information provided by fossil biomarkers and stable carbon and nitrogen isotopes. Biomarkers and stable isotopes are geochemical proxies used to investigate the feedback mechanisms between the Earth climate and the biogeochemical cycles. The laboratory is equipped with various instruments to extract, purify and analyze a suite of different biomarkers, including terrestrial compounds (e.g. lignin phenols, aliphatic chain lipids, cutin-derived products) to understand land-ocean carbon exchange (e.g. permafrost thawing, river floods, etc.), alkenones for paleo-temperature reconstructions and highly branched isoprenoids for sea ice reconstructions. In addition, the laboratory is equipped with a Preparative Fraction Collector (Agilent-Gerstel) for the collection of individual compounds. This technique is especially useful for the radiocarbon analysis of biomarkers and can be very useful to derive an age model for the sedimentary archives and to investigate the processes related to permafrost thawing.

Facilities
The Organic Geochemistry Laboratory is equipped with several gas chromatographers and mass spectrometers for the analysis of carbon and nitrogen stable isotopes, measurement of carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen and sulphur content in organic matter and the extraction/quantification of organic biomarkers. The analytical facilities include:
- Thermo Fisher Scientiﬁc FLASH 2000 Element Analyzer coupled with a mass spectrometer DeltaQ (EA-IRMS)
- GC Agilent GC 7820-MSD EI 5977B
- GC Agilent 8860-FID G2790A
- GC Agilent 8890 equipped by a Gerstel Preparative Fraction Collector (PFC)

High Performance Liquid Chromatograph Agilent 1100 Series HPLC Systems

Brief description
The HPLC-MS/MS system allows to quantitatively determine polar organic compounds in several environmental and vegetable matrices and biota samples. It is commonly used to investigate specific markers of sources or environmental processes in samples collected in polar regions. It is used to determine levoglucosan, key tracer of biomass burning, in ice core samples to provide historical profiles of fire regimes in paleoclimatic studies. Several water soluble organic compounds (free and combined amino acids, phenolic compounds) are determined using HPLC-MS/MS in aerosol samples to define chemical composition of atmosphere in urban and polar samples. Polar pesticide or toxins are commonly determined with HPLC-MS/MS in fresh water, sea water, biota or vegetable samples.

Mercur Plus - Analytik Jena AG, cold vapor atomic fluorescence spectroscopy (CV-AFS).
Brief description
Cold vapor atomic fluorescence spectroscopy (CV-AFS) is an analytical technique used for the quantification of mercury at trace/ultra-trace levels. This technique is mainly used on “clean” aqueous matrices (eg ice, snow, and water) from remote and uncontaminated areas.
The sensitivity of the instrument is fully harnessed by using official methods such as USEPA1631 version E or UNI-EN 15853: 2010. The Hg present in the matrix is oxidized to Hg²⁺ with BrCl solution and then reduced to elemental mercury(Hg⁰) con SnCl₂. The Hg⁰ is stripped from the aqueous matrix using an inert carrier gas (argon) and successively transported to gold traps for the pre-concentration by amalgam formation. Following thermal desorption at T between 450-500 °C, the Hg⁰ is desorbed from the gold traps and is transported into a quartz cell.
Light from a mercury vapor lamp passes through the quartz cell that contains the sample mercury in a flow of argon carrier gas and excites all the mercury atoms which then emit a characteristic fluorescence radiation at 253.7 nm. The amount of light emitted by the mercury atoms in the sample is proportional to the amount of mercury passing through the quartz cell. The CV-AFS of the CNR-ISP is located inside a dedicated clean room.

Gas chromatograph coupled with mass spectrometer (GC-MS)

Brief description
The GC-MS system allows the quantification of volatile apolar compounds in environmental matrices. In the environmental field GC-MS finds main application in the determination of persistent organic pollutants (POPs) such as PCBs, PBDEs, PAHs, pesticides, in environmental matrices both in urban and remote areas such as polar areas. As well as it used in the determination of personal care products such as fragrances that have been observed not only in urban areas but also in Antarctica.
In the ISP-CNR there are 3 GC-MS systems. Among these, the system equipped with a cryogenic trap allows the preconcentration of volatile compounds (allowing the quantification of volatile compounds difficult to analyze in GC even at very low levels). There is also a GC-MS system equipped with a pyrolyser that allows the analysis of non-volatile materials such as plastic materials.

The secondary office of the Institute of Polar Sciences of Padova is mainly devoted to numeric modelling and remote sensing. These research activities belong to the Project Areas of the Earth System Science and Environmental Technologies Department - DSSTTA
- Global Change
- Earth Observation
- Natural Risks, Man made Impacts and Technologies for the Environment
In the modelling field, the main topics are the modelling of alpine glaciers for climatological purposes and of sea and ocean waves, to study their variations due to mid- term climate changes and the impact of changes in wave regimes on the vulnerability of coastlines. In the framework of Remote Sensing, the satellite active sensors (SAR, scatterometer) are used for the determination and study of wind fields over the ocean and the motion of the Artic sea ice. The latter activity is carried out within the framework of the MOSAiC project with SAR images from the CosmoSky-MED satellites provided by the Italian Space Agency ASI.
In the experimental field, the main topics are the role of hydrological extreme events in triggering instability phenomena such as landslides and the study environmental chemical pollution using mass spectrometry.
