Arctic, northernmost region of Earth, centered on the North Pole and characterized by distinctively polar conditions of climate, plant and animal life, and other physical features. The term is derived from the Greek word arktos (‘bear’), referring to t

During the first peak of the intrusion there is relatively more particulate sulfate compared to background conditions, explaining the higher hygroscopicity, with the remaining mass essentially contributed by organics, which are also more oxygenated, hence more hygroscopic, compared to the haze situation....
