What is it about?
Arctic aerosols are dominated by fine mode particles, especially for high aerosol load cases. The average aerosol optical depth (AOD) of the selected Arctic sites in the sampling period is approximately 0.08, with 75% composed of fine mode particles.

Why is it important?
Aerosol has important impacts on global climate change and atmospheric environment.Atmospheric models are able to obtain aerosol radiative properties in a global scale, but may have trouble providing accurate simulations, and have noticeable differences from the observations over specific regions (e.g., the Arctic region3,9).
Perspectives
It is significant about the observation-based aerosol study over Arctic to future climate change in a global scale.
