Air mass trajectories to Summit, Greenland: A 44-year climatology and some episodic events. Kahl, J., D., W., Martinez, D., A., Kuhns, H., Davidson, C., I., Jaffrezo, J., L., & Harris, J., M. J. Geophys. Res.-Oceans, 102:26861-26875, 1997. abstract bibtex The seasonal variation in atmospheric transport
patterns to Summit, Greenland, is examined using a 44-year record
of daily, 10-day, isobaric back trajectories at the 500-hPa level.
Over 24,000 modeled trajectories are aggregated into distinct
patterns using cluster analysis. Ten-day trajectories reaching
Summit are longest during winter, with 67% extending upwind
(westward) as far back as Asia or Europe. Trajectories are shortest
during summer, with 46% having 10-day origins over North America.
During all seasons a small percentage (3-7%) of trajectories
originate in west Asia/Europe and follow a meridional path over the
Arctic Ocean before approaching: Summit from the northwest.
Trajectories at the 700-hPa level tend to be shorter than at 500
hPa, with many of the 700-hPa trajectories from North America
tracking over the North Atlantic and approaching Summit from the
south. The long-range transport climatology for Summit is similar
to a year-round climatology prepared for Dye 3, located 900 lan to
the south [Davidson et al., 1993b]. An analysis of several aerosol
species measured at Summit during summer 1994 reveals examples of
the usefulness and also the limitations of using long-range air
trajectories to interpret chemical data.
