Optical Properties of Arctic Aerosol during PAMARCMiP 2018

| Summary: | Aerosol strongly affect the radiation balance, especially in the Arctic where climate change is significantly faster compared to lower latitudes, a phenomenon known as Arctic Amplification. The interaction between aerosol and radiation can be either direct (scattering and absorption) or indirect (aerosol serving as cloud condensation nuclei and ice nucleating particles).Aerosol concentration in the accumulation mode exhibits an annual maximum in the Arctic in springtime, forming the Arctic Haze. In this work, elevated layers from the European Arctic are analyzed in terms of their optical and hygroscopic properties. |
