Greenland's Coastal Soot Levels Surpass Open Sea, Influencing Arctic Climate(opens in a new tab)
Black carbon concentrations along Greenland's coastline have been found to exceed those over open sea, heightening Arctic warming.

Greenland Coast Emits More Black‑Carbon Soot Than Open Sea, Amplifying Arctic Warming
Recent studies show black‑carbon concentrations along Greenland’s coastline exceed those over the adjacent open ocean, injecting soot into the marine boundary layer and accelerating regional temperature rise.
