The influence of snow grain size and impurities on the vertical profiles of actinic flux and associated NO<sub>x</sub> emissions on the Antarctic and Greenland ice sheets

The influence of snow grain size and impurities on the vertical profiles of actinic flux and associated NO<sub>x</sub> emissions on the Antarctic and Greenland ice sheets

We use observations of the absorption properties of black carbon and non-black carbon impurities in near-surface snow collected near the research stations at South Pole and Dome C, Antarctica, and Summit, Greenland, combined with a snowpack actinic flux parameterization to estimate the vertical prof...
