In our newest paper we investigated how long air stays in the Arctic.
We find that air stays shorter in the Arctic now than it did in the 1980s in spring and fall. This negative trend in residence time aligns well with other changes in the Arctic like sea ice and snow cover decline. Take a look :-)

Reduction of Residence Time of Air in the Arctic Since the 1980s
The average residence time of air north of 70° ${}^{\circ}$N is between 7 (winter) and 12 days (summer) In recent decades, the Arctic residence time of air decreased by approximately 1.5 days (sp...
