AIRCRAFT MEASUREMENTS OF AIR POLLUTION IN THE NORWEGIAN ARCTIC.

Physical properties, particle size distribution, and chemical composition of the arctic aerosol aloft have been studied to assess the origin of polluted layers of the arctic air. Evidence of very long range transport of air masses to the Arctic is presented for summer and winter conditions. These po...

Description
Summary:Physical properties, particle size distribution, and chemical composition of the arctic aerosol aloft have been studied to assess the origin of polluted layers of the arctic air. Evidence of very long range transport of air masses to the Arctic is presented for summer and winter conditions. These polluted air masses are observed at higher altitudes (> 1.5 km).
