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}

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}

The observational programme includes the measurement of a minimum two and maximum seven vertical profiles of atmospheric aerosols in each month. This paper deals with the results of the analysis of lidar aerosol data archived for a period of one year (October 1986–September 1987) and presents the monthly variations in the height distribution of aerosol number density along with their deviations from the annual mean distribution. Also, presented in this paper are the results of (i) the temporal changes in the aerosol concentration at 30 m AGL and its relationship with surface wind and relative humidity, and (ii) the comparison of the aerosol profiles on some selected days with the near-simultaneously obtained vertical profiles of wind, temperature and relative humidity. The results suggest that variations of aerosol concentration exhibit a certain relationship with those of meteorological parameters, and the atmospheric stability conditions associate with the vertical gradients of concentration at the top of the aerosol layer.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":100138,"journal":{"name":"Atmospheric Environment (1967)","volume":"23 4","pages":"Pages 831-838"},"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)90487-3","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"52835366","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}

As a by-product, the technique yields a concentration distribution grid on each time-step. This robust procedure rationalizes data which are in dispute, and makes optimal use of incomplete source or receptor observation records. Thus several unknown source-rates may be estimated on-line as the procedure steps through the remaining observation records. An accurate advection-diffusion solution is formulated as a linear transformation for each time-step, using a sub-grid adaptation of the pseudospectral method. This is extended to the vertical dimension using the zeroth, first and second vertical moments of concentration, allowing only uniform wind profiles, but gradual wind-field and diffusivity variations in the horizontal. A discrete Kaiman filter then provides optimal estimates of all source rates, constituting the state vector, to minimize deviations from any source and receptor observations. The algorithm has been applied in a 90 <em>km</em> × 90 <em>km</em> region of the Eastern Transvaal Highveld, including nine SO₂ sources and eight detectors. Indications are that the method will be a valuable aid in interpreting such data sets.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":100138,"journal":{"name":"Atmospheric Environment (1967)","volume":"23 7","pages":"Pages 1443-1458"},"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)90404-6","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"52835455","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}
