Tracking Trace Elements Across the Arctic Ocean

Emissions inventory of PM2.5 trace elements across the United States.

This paper presents the first National Emissions Inventory (NEI) of fine particulate matter (PM2.5) that includes the full suite of PM2.5 trace elements (atomic number > 10) measured at ambient monitoring sites across the U.S. PM2.5 emissions in the NEI were organized and aggregated into a set of 84 source categories for which chemical speciation profiles are available (e.g., Unpaved Road Dust ...

The Arctic Ocean Spices Up

The contemporary Arctic Ocean differs markedly from midlatitude, ice-free, and relatively warm oceans in the context of density-compensating temperature and salinity variations. These variations are invaluable tracers in the midlatitudes, revealing essential fundamental physical processes of the oceans, on scales from millimeters to thousands of kilometers. However, in the cold Arctic Ocean, te...

Trace Elements

Trace elements occur in the human and animal body in milligrams per kilograms amount or less as against major elements which occur in gram per kg.essential elements are elements required for lifewhose deficient intake results in impairment of vital functions and only intake of physiologic amounts of the element can alleviate or prevent such a disturbance in function. Certain T.Es exists in the ...

Pan-Arctic distributions of continental runoff in the Arctic Ocean

Continental runoff is a major source of freshwater, nutrients and terrigenous material to the Arctic Ocean. As such, it influences water column stratification, light attenuation, surface heating, gas exchange, biological productivity and carbon sequestration. Increasing river discharge and thawing permafrost suggest that the impacts of continental runoff on these processes are changing. Here, a...
