Unusual high values of aerosol optical depth evidenced in the Arctic during summer 2011

Climatologically, high Aerosol Optical Depth (AOD500 nm) >0.1 during spring and very low AODs (∼0.05) during the summer months persist over the Arctic. Unusually high values of AOD are unknown to be observed during Arctic summers; however using MICROTOPS II, we report AOD500 nm values >0.1 at...
