Airchemistry at Neumayer station, Antarctica ...
It is obvious that the atmosphere above Antarctica is the cleanest part of the Earth's troposphere and can be employed as a large clean air laboratory to study natural conditions comparable to atmospheric processes prevailed elsewhere in preindustrial times. The nearly completely ice covered An...

It is obvious that the atmosphere above Antarctica is the cleanest part of the Earth's troposphere and can be employed as a large clean air laboratory to study natural conditions comparable to atmospheric processes prevailed elsewhere in preindustrial times.
