Atmospheric circulation pattern highly influence the concentrations of ice core constituents by affecting their source strength, transport path and deposition. In 2007 four firn cores were drilled in the Ekströmisen catchment area (ECA), covering a time interval of 50 years. The ECA is located in th...
