Description
Summary:University researcher takes snow samples near Barrow, Alaska during the OASIS field project. NCAR and university scientists and technicians participated in the 2009 field phase of OASIS (Ocean_Atmosphere_Sea Ice_Snowpack), which made some of the most extensive measurements ever on the chemical exchanges between polar air, snow, frost, brine, and sea ice. Part of International Polar Year, OASIS tackled a number of standing questions in polar chemistry, with the emphasis on the life cycle of pollutants that drift into the Arctic.
