Contamination of arctic air at three sites during a haze event in late winter 1986

Abstract

Interpretation of simultaneous measurements at three stations in different parts of the Arctic suggests that during wir masses forced into the Arctic from Eurasia in a surge Alaska and further return over the North Pole towards the European Arctic. On some occasions direct flow of the Eurasian air masses detected in the European Arctic. Simple statistical methods and dispersion modeling proved useful in studying source-receptor relationship in the Arctic.
