<abstract>
<p>New observations of long distance transport of pollen to southern Greenland
are recorded during two consecutive weeks, 19 May until 1 June 2003.
These new results indicate again Northeastern America as the source
area of the transported pollen grains. Backward trajectories studies
indicate that transport occurred twice during the first week, which
corresponds to the interval of maximum pollen flux emitted in the
atmosphere. This is indicated by the large percentage of exotic pollen
grains identified, about 11% of the total counted including the local
vegetation. Conversely, the transport observed during the second week
occurred during a single day, at a time of reduced pollen emission into the
atmosphere in the source area, and experienced severe wash out and thus is
indicated by a lower percentage of exotic grains, 1% of the total
identified ones. The trajectories modeled by the HYSPLIT application show
different patterns to those previously identified in 2002. Although air
volumes passing over southern Greenland at 3000 m carried out the main
transport, additional transport occurred at a much lower altitude leading
producing a more complicated pattern of modeling than previously considered.</p>
