| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Simultaneous observations of frost flowers, brine, and aerosol particles were conducted around Siorapaluk in northwestern Greenland. Water-soluble frost flower and brine constituents are sea salt constituents. Concentration factors of sea-salts of frost flowers and brine relative to seawater were 1.14 - 3.67. Sea-salt enrichment of Mg2+, K+, Ca2+, and halogens in frost flowers related to associated with sea-salt fractionation. High aerosol number concentrations correspond to higher abundance of sea-salt particles in both coarse and fine modes, and blowing snow and strong winds. Coarse and fine sea-salt particles were found to be rich in Mg. Strong Mg enrichment might be more likely to proceed in fine sea-salt particles. Mg-rich sea-salt particles might be released from the surface of snow and slush layer on sea-ice and frost flowers. Mirabilite-like and ikaite-like particles were identified only near new sea-ice areas. We propose and describe sea-salt cycles in seasonal sea-ice areas.
