The distribution and biogeochemical importance of high-latitude dust in the Arctic and Southern Ocean-Antarctic regions

Recent studies suggest that around 5% of global dust emissions come from sources in the highlatitudes (≥50°N and ≥40°S). A substantial proportion of this dust remains within the high latitudes and is deposited in marine and terrestrial environments. Stable air masses and limited atmospheric convecti...
