OVERVIEW
The main focus of this book is the study of environmental dynamics in
the Arctic, coupled with ecosystem dynamics. Particular emphasis has
been placed on problems of the Arctic atmosphere composition, including
minor gases, aerosols and clouds, as well as changes in composition due
to human impacts. Analysis of observational data and numerical modelling
results which characterize the Arctic basin pollution dynamics and its
impact on ecosystems is also provided. The book discusses problems of
general circulation in the atmosphere and oceans beginning with the
1930s, when the Arctic was regarded as the kitchen of global weather and
climate, moving on to today when modern observational data and numerical
modelling make for a more balanced view.
