Impurity sources Of F−, Cl−, NO3− and SO42− in Greenland and Antarctic precipitation

Herron, Michael M.·1982·Journal of Geophysical Research: Oceans

Abstract

Five polar impurity sources are proposed: anthropogenic NO 3− and SO 42− in recent Greenland but not Antarctic snow; marine aerosols, the dominant Cl− source; volcanic eruptions, which produce detectable but variable peaks in SO 42−, F−, and/or Cl− concentrations; biogenic sulfurous gases from soil and coastal waters, the dominant source for SO 42− in nonvolcanic strata; an unidentified source of background nitrate which is more active in the northern hemisphere and which displays a summer concentration maximum. Solar activity and supernova events do not modulate NO 3− concentrations in Greenland snow.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
