Spring and summertime diurnal surface ozone fluxes over the polar snow at Summit, Greenland
[1] Continuous surface-layer ozone flux measurements over the polar, year-round snowpack at Summit, Greenland, resulted in deposition velocities (vd) that were smaller than most previous assumptions and model inputs. Substantial seasonal differences were seen in the ozone vd behavior. Spring, daytime ozone vd values showed low variability and were consistently 0.01 cm s . During summer, ozone f...
متن کاملWintertime Ozone Fluxes and Profiles above a Subalpine Spruce–Fir Forest
High rural concentrations of ozone (O3) are thought to be stratospheric in origin, advected from upwind urban sources, or photochemically generated locally by natural trace gas emissions. Ozone is known to be transported vertically downward from the above-canopy atmospheric surface layer and destroyed within stomata or on other biological and mineral surfaces. However, here the authors report m...
متن کاملFluxes and chemistry of nitrogen oxides in the Niwot Ridge, Colorado, snowpack
The effect of snow cover on surfaceatmosphere exchanges of nitrogen oxides (nitrogen oxide (NO) ? nitrogen dioxide (NO2); note, here ‘NO2’ is used as surrogate for a series of oxidized nitrogen gases that were detected by the used monitor in this analysis mode) was investigated at the high elevation, subalpine (3,340 m asl) Soddie site, at Niwot Ridge, Colorado. Vertical (NO ? NO2) concentratio...
متن کاملWhite on green: under-snow microbial processes and trace gas fluxes through snow, Niwot Ridge, Colorado Front Range
The importance of snow and related cryospheric processes as an ecological factor has been recognized since at least the beginning of the twentieth century. Even today, however, many observations remain anecdotal. The research to date on cold-lands ecosystems results in scientists being unable to evaluate to what extent changes in the cryosphere will be characterized by abrupt changes in local a...
متن کاملThe potential importance of frost flowers, recycling on snow, and open leads for Ozone Depletion Events
We present model studies with the one-dimensional model MISTRA to investigate the potential role of frost flowers, recycling on snow, and open leads in the depletion of tropospheric ozone in the Arctic spring. In our model, we assumed frost flower aerosols to be the major source of bromine. We show that a major ozone depletion event can be satisfactorily reproduced only if the recycling on snow...
