Brief communication : Analysis of organic matter in surface snow by PTR-MS - Implications for dry deposition dynamics in the Alps
2018
Abstract. The exchange of organic matter (OM) between the atmosphere and snow is poorly
understood due to the complex nature of OM and the convoluted processes of
deposition, re-volatilisation, and chemical and biological processing. OM that
is finally retained in glaciers potentially holds a valuable historical
record of past atmospheric conditions; however, our understanding of the
processes involved is insufficient to translate the measurements into an
interpretation of the past atmosphere. This study examines the dynamic
processes of post-precipitation OM change at the alpine snow surface with the
goal of interpreting the processes involved in surface snow OM.
