| Description: |
In this study researchers examined the influence of the North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO) on the atmospheric dispersion of pollution by computing the emission, transport and removal of insoluble gaseous and water-soluble aerosol tracers, tagged by the continent of origin. Their results indicate marked differences and partly reversed correlations for insoluble gas and soluble aerosol tracers. They find a strong anti-correlation over western and central Europe between European pollutant gas and aerosol concentrations and the phase of the NAO. [Source: Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics]
