Modeling near surface atmospheric chemistry over the central Arctic Ocean during spring (Invited)
International audience The composition of the atmosphere in the central Arctic that is in contact with sea ice is controlled by a mix of natural and anthropogenic processes/sources. For example, emissions that originate from the cryosphere (sea ice, snow on sea ice, and leads) control the naturally...

International audience The composition of the atmosphere in the central Arctic that is in contact with sea ice is controlled by a mix of natural and anthropogenic processes/sources. For example, emissions that originate from the cryosphere (sea ice, snow on sea ice, and leads) control the naturally varying background atmospheric chemistry state. In contrast, episodes of pollution transport from mid-latitude sources can bring large quantities of air pollutants to the central Arctic. We model atmospheric composition (trace gases, aerosols, clouds) during the spring 2020 season using a version of the regional WRF-Chem 4.1.1 model that has been modified to include halogen emissions from snow on sea ice, and is able to represent the influence of the cryosphere on the natural background state of atmospheric composition.
