Source attribution and interannual variability of Arctic pollution in spring constrained by aircraft (ARCTAS, ARCPAC) and satellite (AIRS) observations of carbon monoxide
We use aircraft observations of carbon monoxide (CO) from the NASA ARCTAS and NOAA ARCPAC campaigns in April 2008 together with multiyear (2003– 2008) CO satellite data from the AIRS instrument and a global chemical transport model (GEOS-Chem) to better understand the sources, transport, and interannual variability of pollution in the Arctic in spring. Model simulation of the aircraft data give...
متن کاملSources of carbonaceous aerosols and deposited black carbon in the Arctic in winter-spring: implications for radiative forcing
We use a global chemical transport model (GEOSChem CTM) to interpret observations of black carbon (BC) and organic aerosol (OA) from the NASA ARCTAS aircraft campaign over the North American Arctic in April 2008, as well as longer-term records in surface air and in snow (2007– 2009). BC emission inventories for North America, Europe, and Asia in the model are tested by comparison with surface a...
متن کاملThe North Atlantic Oscillation controls air pollution transport to the Arctic
This paper studies the interannual variability of pollution pathways from northern hemisphere (NH) continents into the Arctic. Using a 15-year model simulation of the dispersion of passive tracers representative of anthropogenic emissions from NH continents, we show that the North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO) exerts a strong control on the pollution transport into the Arctic, particularly in wint...
متن کاملInterannual variability of tropospheric composition: the influence of changes in emissions, meteorology and clouds
We have run a chemistry transport model (CTM) to systematically examine the drivers of interannual variability of tropospheric composition during 1996–2000. This period was characterised by anomalous meteorological conditions associated with the strong El Niño of 1997–1998 and intense wildfires, which produced a large amount of pollution. On a global scale, changing meteorology (winds, temperat...
متن کاملA Modeling Study of the Export Pathways of Pollution from Europe: Seasonal and Interannual Variations (1987-1997)
We present a study of the seasonal and interannual variations of the export pathways of pollution from Europe for eleven years, 1987-1997, using the GEOS-CHEM model of 3-d trace gas/aerosol chemistry and transport. The dominant export pathways in winter are advection to i. the middle and high latitudes of the North Atlantic Ocean, including the European Arctic; ii. Russia and the Russian Arctic...
