Bering Sea Wilderness Area
Individual Class I Area Report
Attribution of Haze Project


The 81,340-acre Bering Sea Wilderness Area consists of Saint Matthew Island and the nearby small Hall and Pinnacle Islands, ~ 375 km (233 mi) off the coast of western Alaska in the Bering Sea. It is in the North Pacific maritime influence. Topography of the islands is rugged hills and cliffs interspersed with flat terrain. Elevations range from sea level to cliff top elevations above 460 m (1,500 ft). The Bering Sea Wilderness Area is the most isolated Wilderness Area. There are no nearby representative IMPROVE sites. The nearest maritime IMPROVE site is the Simeonof IMPROVE site, SIME1, in the Aleutian chain.

Causes of Haze Back Trajectory Map Gallery
The following link opens a Class I area-specific map gallery of back trajectory products on the Causes of Haze Web site. The page contains a drop down menu that can be used to select from a variety of back trajectory map products. Of particular relevance to this report are the following maps: 3-yr Total Residence Time; worst 20% Sulfate Residence Time; worst 20% Sulfate Residence Time Difference; and worst 20% Sulfate Conditional Probability. Similar maps are available for other aerosol species. These maps can be used in conjunction with TSSA and TRA results to better understand geographic source regions.
