at Barrow, Alaska, to characterize the organic mass (OM) in the Arctic aerosol. Organic functional group concentrations and trace metals were measured with FTIR on submicron particles collected on Teflon filters. The OM varied from 0.07 mg m −3 in summer to 0.43 mg m −3 in winter, and 0.35 mg m − 3...
