Aircraft Measurements of Aerosol Properties in Pollution Layers Transported into the Arctic in Spring and Summer Seasons
In order to improve knowledge on the properties, evolution and climate impact of the tropospheric aerosol in the Arctic region, a number of aircraft experiments have been performed in the Arctic in the last few years, which contributed to the IPY core project POLARCAT. Here we report on results of t...
