Short summary
Short summary
This study explores the neglected role of atmospheric deposition in δ15N4a-3s (δ15N difference between NH4+ and source NH3), a key parameter in atmospheric NH4+ source tracing. We develop an integrated model coupling these two processes and find that the difference in δδ15N4a-3s between the combined effect and the pure fractionation scenario increases with ξA (NH4+/NHx molar ratio). This work provides a new idea for precise NH4+ source partitioning.

In the last 40 years, different research groups have reported on the atmospheric concentrations of persistent organic pollutants in Antarctica. In the present work, we make a compilation to understand the historical trends and estimate the atmospheric half-life of each compound. Of the compounds studied, HCB was the only one that showed no clear trend, while the rest of the studied compounds showed a significant decrease over time. This is consistent with results for polar and sub-polar zones.

Here we detail the history of the Zeppelin Observatory, a unique global background site and one of only a few in the high Arctic. We present long-term time series of up to 30 years of atmospheric components and atmospheric transport phenomena. Many of these time series are important to our understanding of Arctic and global atmospheric composition change. Finally, we discuss the future of the Zeppelin Observatory and emerging areas of future research on the Arctic atmosphere.

Short summary
A novel non-destructive, sulfuric-acid-free clean-up method for high-volume air samples was developed and evaluated with organic chemicals covering a wide range of polarities (logP 2–11). This method, providing quantitative results of comparable quality to traditional methods, was combined with newly developed data treatment strategies for simultaneous suspect and non-target screening. The application to air samples from southern Norway revealed 90 new potential chemicals of emerging concern.
A novel non-destructive, sulfuric-acid-free clean-up method for high-volume air samples was...
