Extended Data Fig. 8: April backward trajectories at QOMS in 2016 and 2015.
From: Arctic sea-ice loss intensifies aerosol transport to the Tibetan Plateau
a,b, The April MODIS AOD 550 nm anomalies (shaded), compared to the climatology of 2003 − 2018, and 3-d backward air-mass trajectories, shown by mean backward trajectory for six clusters (colour lines; three-dimensional view shown below) arriving at QOMS (1000 m above ground level) in 2016 (a) and 2015 (b). The numbers indicate the percentages of daily trajectories with the origins. The square marks the location of QOMS.
