Summary

This report describes the results obtained in the Danish contribution to the atmospheric part of the Arctic Monitoring and Assessment Program (AMAP). Results of measurements carried out at Villum Research Station, Station Nord from 1990 to 2015 are reported. A series of particle bound compounds and gasses relevant for determining the antropogenic impact on the sensitive Arctic environment have been measured. The results have been used to make new parameterisation of the Danish Eulerian model as well as to constrain the model. The results are reported to AMAP, EMEP and to WMO-Global Atmospheric Watch. The data have been analysed for statistical significant trends and the connection between emissions and observed concentrations was investigated using a combination of models and measurements.
