Tracing biomass burning aerosol from South America to Troll Research Station, Antarctica.
The atmospheric observatory at the Norwegian Research Station Troll in Queen Maud Land, Antarctica, holds, since February 2007, the first all-year Antarctic atmospheric aerosol particle number size distribution measurements. These are colocated with measurements of the aerosol absorption and spectral scattering coefficients. In June 2007, this instrument set observed an aerosol whose properties were indicative of a biomass burning aerosol. These properties included two log-normal size distribution modes with median particle diameters of 0.105 ¿m and 0.36 ¿m, sharply falling off to smaller and larger sizes, and peaks in scattering and absorption coefficient. With backward plume calculations of the Lagrangian transport model FLEXPART and the MODIS fire activity product, a source-receptor relationship was established between biomass burning events in Central Brazil and the aerosol seen at Troll. This is the first direct evidence that the Antarctic continent is susceptible to emissions from as far north as Southern tropical latitudes.

Tracing the air–sea exchange of microplastics over the Caspian Sea
The global proliferation of microplastics (MPs) is increasingly recognized as a transboundary environmental issue. At the air–ocean interface, MPs can be emitted via sea spray and transported back to land, while terrestrial MPs can likewise be advected and deposited over the oceans. However, the long-term net exchange of MPs between land and ocean via the atmosphere remains poorly constrained. Here, we investigate coastal atmospheric MPs and their near-surface landward and seaward transport over the southern Caspian Sea. Using a combination of passive air sampling (at seven heights with MWAC collectors) and active sampling (vacuum pump) over periods of 3 days and 2 months, respectively, together with coastal surface sediment samples, we quantified MP concentrations and assessed the influence of meteorological and environmental factors on their distribution. Fibrous MPs dominated all compartments, with airborne concentrations averaging 3.85 MP m−3 and sediment concentrations ranging from 507 to 1476 MP kg−1 (dry weight). Estimated near-surface horizontal fluxes were comparable in magnitude, with a landward influx of ~6566 MP m−2 h−1 and a seaward outflux of ~8039 MP m−2 h−1, indicating broadly balanced coastal transport during the 72 h campaign. To support source attribution, we evaluated co-trapped particulate proxies (sea salt and ash) and combined them with FLEXPART modelling. Trajectory modelling and proxy evidence indicate that most airborne MPs originated from inland sources (e.g., road dust and textile-related fibres), while marine sea-spray contributions were minor during the sampling period. These findings highlight the importance of long-range atmospheric transport in coastal MP pollution and demonstrate how integrating proxy observations with dispersion modelling can help constrain likely source regimes.
