Special Session Information - American Geophysical Union
2004 Fall Meeting |
| Recent polar studies have uncovered many surprises including the highly
interactive role of snow surface chemistry with the composition of the
boundary layer air and, in some cases, even with lower to mid-tropospheric
transport layers. Papers presented in this session will highlight these
new findings and will discuss gas and particle phase composition of the
Arctic and Antarctic troposphere emphasizing the impact of photochemically
mediated gas and particle exchange with the snow, ice, and the contiguous
marine areas on tropospheric composition and oxidation rates. The role
of local and regional transport on the impact of these emissions will also
be discussed. Findings from recent (2003 and 2004) field campaigns on the
Greenland and Antarctic ice sheets will be featured, but new results from
other field and laboratory experiments investigating air-ice chemical interactions
at tropospheric temperatures are also encouraged. The interpretative analysis
of ice core data and snow/firn chemistry related to these topics will also
be considered. |
