The Arctic is a region which despite the remoteness and lack of emission sources of pollutants, is one of the most affected by the long-range transport of pollution, which can affect background pollution levels and which influence climate change both regionally and globally. Despite improvements in observing systems and numerical models in recent decades, it remains difficult to reproduce the observed pollution episodes in the Arctic especially in summertime. One possible explanation is the underestimation of modelled ozone (O3) production in forest fires plumes. Carbon monoxide (CO) is often used as a tracer of pollution transport due to its relatively long lifetime of several weeks in the troposphere. It is a reactive gas, mainly produced...
