Contaminant emissions, transport and deposition in the Arctic

An illustration of the interplay between a) contaminant emissions distribution for sulfur dioxide and b) frequency of atmospheric south-to-north transport, yielding c) a net annual input of sulfur to the Arctic as a function of longitude that favors Euras
