Sulfate and msa in the air and snow on the greenland ice-sheet. Jaffrezo, J., L., Davidson, C., I., Legrand, M., & Dibb, J., E. J. Geophys. Res.-Atmos., 99:1241-1253, 1994. abstract bibtex Sulfate and methanesulfonic acid (MSA) concentrations
in aerosol, surface snow, and snowpit samples have been measured at
two sites on the Greenland Ice Sheet. Seasonal variations of the
concentrations observed for these chemical species in the
atmosphere are reproduced in the surface snow and preserved in the
snowpit sequence. The amplitude of the variations over a year are
smaller in the snow than in the air, but the ratios of the
concentrations are comparable. The seasonal variations for sulfate
are different at the altitude of the Ice Sheet compared to those
observed at sea level, with low concentrations in winter and short
episodes of elevated concentrations in spring. In contrast, the
variations in concentrations of MSA are similar to those measured
at sea level, with a first sequence of elevated concentrations in
spring and another one during summer, and a winter low resulting
from low biogenic production. The ratio MSA/sulfate clearly
indicates the influence of high-latitude sources for the summer
maximum of MSA, but the large impact of anthropogenic sulfate
precludes any conclusion for the spring maximum. The seasonal
pattern observed for these species in a snowpit sampled according
to stratigraphy indicates a deficit in the accumulation of winter
snow at the summit of the Greenland Ice Sheet, in agreement with
some direct observations. A deeper snowpit covering the years
1985-1992 indicates the consistency of the seasonal pattern for MSA
over the years, which may be linked to transport and deposition
processes.
