Inorganic ion concentrations are similar to previous data reported from the Arctic. The organic anion methanesulfonate (MSA), in total coarse + fine, averages 0.12 ± 0.02 nmol m⁻³. High levels of formate (Fo ⁻) and acetate (Ac⁻) and traces of propionate (Pp⁻) and pyruvate (Py⁻) are found, which altogether account for 20% of the total aerosol mass. Total concentrations, as mean ± S.E. nmol m⁻³, are (Fo⁻) 5.3± 0.7, (Ac⁻) 12.4 ± 2.2, (Pp⁻) 0.3±0.1, and (Py⁻) 0.1 ± 0.04. Internal relationships among the carboxylic acid anions suggest emissions from natural vegetation. Lacking local sources during winter, these organic anions are likely to have come from lower latitudes as acid vapors that condensed with gaseous NH₃ into aerosols in the cold Arctic.</p><p>Four aerosol types, evidenced by seven principal components in the coarse and fine aerosol fractions of 69 12-h samples, are found by absolute principal component analysis (APCA). The most prominent type is a contaminated sea salt, apparently transported to the Arctic after scavenging combustion products. The second contains carboxylic acid anions, such as could have resulted from co-condensation with NH₃ of organic acid vapors from natural sources at lower latitudes. The third is a marine aerosol component containing most of the MSA, Br⁻ and NO⁻₃, as well as small amounts of carboxylic acid anions and some sea salt, and may be a collection of products from gas phase oxidation of precursors. Finally, a fine non-sea salt sulfate (nssSO²⁻₄) component is found that may have come from SO₂ conversion in air. Most components have good charge balance of the measured ions as indicated by anion/cation ratios near unity. The ratios reflect approximate acid-base neutralization in the components and indicate aged aerosol systems with long atmospheric residence times.</p><p>Viewing similar components in coarse and fine fractions together, about 10% of the carboxylic acid anions are associated with pollutants in aerosol type 1. Type 2 accounts for 80% of Fo⁻and 60% of Ac⁻. Type 3 accounts for 18% of Fo⁻ and 10% of Ac⁻. Thus, the carboxylic acid anions appear to be mostly natural, with more than 90% of Fo⁻ and 70% of Ac⁻ in types 2 and 3.

The snowpits cover the years 1982–1987. The samples have been dated by comparing δ¹⁸O values with meteorological data from Dye 3. Airborne concentrations of SO²⁻₄ over the Ice Sheet have been estimated for the dates corresponding to each snowpit sample by statistically analyzing data from several air monitoring stations throughout the Arctic, and computing average values from the appropriate stations. Seasonal variations in concentrations in air, concentrations in snow, and mass-basis scavenging ratios (concentration in snow divided by concentration in air) have been identified. Results indicate that concentrations of SO²⁻₄in the air show a strong peak in late February, resulting from long-range transport of mid-latitude anthropogenic emissions, while those in the snow show a broad peak in January, February and March with smaller seasonal variation overall. The smaller variation in the snow is attributed in part to the effect of riming, which results in more efficient scavenging during warm weather when airborne concentrations are low. The importance of riming is also supported by the annual cycle in scavenging ratio which peaks in mid-summer coincident with maximum temperatures. In agreement with previous estimates, dry deposition appears to account for 10–30% of the total SO²⁻₄ in the snow. Concentrations of NO⁻₃ in the snow show a strong peak in summer; natural material from the stratosphere as well as anthropogenic emissions transported from the mid-latitudes may be responsible. Concentrations of Cl⁻ in the snow are maximum in January, with relatively high concentrations during October through March and a smaller peak in July. The winter peak is believed to reflect long-range transport (LRT) of marine aerosol from north Atlantic storms, while the summer peak is attributed to seaspray from nearby coastal Greenland. Riming also may influence the seasonal variations in NO⁻₃ and Cl⁻ in the snow.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":100138,"journal":{"name":"Atmospheric Environment (1967)","volume":"23 11","pages":"Pages 2483-2493"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1989-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1016/0004-6981(89)90259-X","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"52834811","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This dominant role of anticyclones in transporting Arctic haze may be the result of the unique geographic and climatological situation existing during winter/spring in which both the huge Eurasian continent and the adjacent ice-covered Arctic Ocean tend to be regions where anticyclones form and exist over long periods of the winter and spring seasons. It is assumed that the seasonal variation of transport mechanisms provided by anticyclones is the primary cause for the seasonal variation of Arctic haze. Centers of anticyclones are the regions where air masses form and obtain their characteristics, both meteorological and chemical, due to the aerosols and gases released into the air. Transport within an air flow along the edges of quasi-stationary anticyclones will remain under stable atmospheric conditions, hence, dilution, lifting and removal of aerosols and gases will be less compared to a transport within the influence of a cyclonic pressure system. According to the concept of isentropic flow, anticyclones may dominate only low-level transport, whereas cyclones may be more important in controlling transport at upper tropospheric levels.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":100138,"journal":{"name":"Atmospheric Environment (1967)","volume":"23 11","pages":"Pages 2501-2504"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1989-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1016/0004-6981(89)90261-8","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"52834831","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
