[{"name":"oden-ao-2018-aerosol-pollution-mask-1","title":"Mask to identify polluted periods during the Arctic Ocean 2018 expedition","summary":"Aerosol and trace gas measurements are strongly affected by the ship exhaust and other human activities (e.g., helicopter flights). Therefore, it is important to discriminate between clean and polluted periods.\r\n\r\nThis mask provides an indication of clean periods that were unaffected by human activities and are therefore representative of background Arctic conditions. This mask was specifically developed for the new particle formation inlet used during the campaign, other inlets located in different places may be affected by pollution in slightly different ways.\r\n\r\nThis mask refers to measurements that were performed on the 4th deck of icebreaker Oden during August and September 2018 along the track of the Arctic Ocean 2018 expedition.","citations":"Baccarini A, Karlsson L, Dommen J, Duplessis P, V\u00fcllers J, Brooks IM, Saiz-Lopez A, Salter M, Tjernstr\u00f6m M, Baltensperger U, Zieger P, Schmale J (2020) Frequent new particle formation over the high Arctic pack ice by enhanced iodine emissions.
