Albedo Observations with Large Concentrations of Black Carbon in High Arctic Snow Packs from Svalbard

Observations from the Arctic basin has proven Black Carbon to be present in sufficient concentrations to be detected. This black carbon can only originate from anthropogenic emissions further south. On land at Svalbard both local manmade emissions and weathering of the coal containing sediments can...

Description
Summary:Observations from the Arctic basin has proven Black Carbon to be present in sufficient concentrations to be detected. This black carbon can only originate from anthropogenic emissions further south. On land at Svalbard both local manmade emissions and weathering of the coal containing sediments can be a source.
