Short summary
This study presents a detailed analysis of regional and sectoral sources of black carbon (BC), sulfate (SO4), and PM2.5 over the Arctic. We find that anthropogenic emissions from Europe and China are the major contributors (~ 46 % and ~ 25 %) to the Arctic surface BC annually. Emissions from the residential sector within Europe and China are the primary contributors (~ 25 % and ~ 14 %) to Arctic surface BC. Additionally, the contribution of each source region varied significantly by altitude and season.
