Soluble acidic gases at South Pole

Entry ID: DibbISCAT2000

[ Update this Record ]

Summary

Abstract: We used the mist chamber sampling technique with analysis by ion
chromatography to sample and quantify soluble acids at South Pole in
December, 2000. Two samplers were operated simultaneously for the 2
week duration of the experiment, with nominal sampling interval of 30
minutes. One sampler remained 85 cm above the snow, the second used a
2 m long heated inlet that allowed sampling at multiple heights,
ranging from 40 cm below the snow surface up to 85 cm above.
