Transport of anthropogenic and biomass burning aerosols from Europe to the Arctic during spring 2008
Aircraft measurements taken as part of the POLARCAT campaign (Polar Study using Aircraft, Remote Sensing, Surface Measurements and Models, of Climate, Chemistry, Aerosols, and Transport) were aimed at investigating pollution transport and atmospheric chemistry in the Arctic. During this campaign, po...

Aircraft measurements taken as part of the POLARCAT campaign (Polar Study using Aircraft, Remote Sensing, Surface Measurements and Models, of Climate, Chemistry, Aerosols, and Transport) were aimed at investigating pollution transport and atmospheric chemistry in the Arctic. During this campaign, pollution plumes of anthropogenic and biomass burning origin were measured in the Arctic troposphere in spring 2008. We combine those aircraft measurements with simulations using the WRF-Chem model (Weather Research and Forecasting Model including aerosol and chemistry) to investigate cases of aerosol transport from Europe to the Arctic during spring 2008. We focus our work on the POLARCAT-France campaign in the Scandinavian Arctic in April 2008. We evaluate the model's ability to reproduce observations made during this campaign.
