Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics Local anthropogenic impact on particulate elemental carbon
Abstract. Summit, Greenland is a remote Arctic research station allowing for field measurements at the highest point of the Greenland Ice Sheet. Due to the current reliance on diesel generators for electricity at Summit, unavoidable local emissions are a potential contamination threat to the mea-sur...
