Light absorbing particles (LAP, eg, black carbon, brown carbon, and dust) influence water
and energy budgets of the atmosphere and snowpack in multiple ways. In addition to their …

The Arctic region is a harbinger of global change and is warming at a rate higher than the
global average. While Arctic warming is driven by increases in anthropogenic greenhouse …

Short‑lived climate forcers (SLCFs) affect climate and are, in most cases, also air pollutants.
They include aerosols (sulphate, nitrate, ammonium, carbonaceous aerosols, mineral dust …

Combustion-derived black carbon (BC) aerosols accelerate glacier melting in the Himalayas
and in Tibet (the Third Pole (TP)), thereby limiting the sustainable freshwater supplies for …

Black carbon (BC) from anthropogenic and natural sources has a pronounced climatic effect
on the polar environment. The interaction of BC with low-level Arctic clouds, important for …

Arctic haze is a seasonal phenomenon with high concentrations of accumulation-mode
aerosols occurring in the Arctic in winter and early spring. Chemistry transport models and …

Motivated by the need to predict how the Arctic atmosphere will change in a warming world,
this article summarizes recent advances made by the research consortium NETCARE …

Even though the Arctic is remote, aerosol properties observed there are strongly influenced
by anthropogenic emissions from outside the Arctic. This is particularly true for the so-called …

Notable warming trends have been observed in the Arctic. Although increased human-
induced emissions of long-lived greenhouse gases are certainly the main driving factor, air …

Global anthropogenic and legacy mercury (Hg) emissions are the main sources of Arctic Hg
contamination, primarily transported there via the atmosphere. This review summarizes the …
