Temperature, humidity, and ionisation effect of iodine oxoacid nucleation

Andrea Baccarini, Lubna Dada

Iodine oxoacids are recognised for their significant contribution to the formation of new particles in marine and polar atmospheres. Nevertheless, to incorporate the iodine oxoacid nucleation mechanism into global simulations, it is essential to comprehend ...

The Influence of the Planetary Boundary Layer on the Atmospheric State at an Orographic Site at the Eastern Mediterranean

Athanasios Nenes, Kunfeng Gao, Romanos Foskinis

We studied the influence of the Planetary Boundary Layer (PBL) on the air masses sampled at the mountaintop Hellenic Atmospheric Aerosol and Climate Change station ((HAC) 2 ) at Mount Helmos (Greece) during the Cloud-AerosoL InteractionS in the Helmos back ...

Nitrogen oxides in the free troposphere: implications for tropospheric oxidants and the interpretation of satellite NO2 measurements

Ilann Ernest Valentin Bourgeois

Satellite-based retrievals of tropospheric NO(2)columns are widely used to infer NOx (equivalent to NO + NO2) emissions. These retrievals rely on model information for the vertical distribution of NO2. The free tropospheric background above 2 km is particu ...

Arctic tropospheric ozone: assessment of current knowledge and model performance

Jakob Boyd Pernov, Luca Pozzoli, Ilann Ernest Valentin Bourgeois

As the third most important greenhouse gas (GHG) after carbon dioxide (CO2) and methane (CH4), tropospheric ozone (O3) is also an air pollutant causing damage to human health and ecosystems. This study brings together recent research on observations and mo ...

Australian Bushfires (2019-2020): Aerosol Optical Properties and Radiative Forcing

Romanos Foskinis, Alexandros Papagiannis

In the present study, we present the aerosol optical properties and radiative forcing (RF) of the tropospheric and stratospheric smoke layers, observed by the Cloud-Aerosol Lidar and Infrared Pathfinder Satellite Observation (CALIPSO) satellite, during the ...

Radar processing techniques to study summer snowfall in the Sør Rondane Mountains, Antarctica

Alfonso Ferrone

Snowfall is one of the main positive contributors to the surface mass balance of the Antarctic ice sheet. There are several techniques to monitor solid precipitation on the continent. Among them, meteorological radars provide the means to characterize the ...

An evaluation of new particle formation events in Helsinki during a Baltic Sea cyanobacterial summer bloom

Lubna Dada

Several studies have investigated new particle formation (NPF) events from various sites ranging from pristine locations, including forest sites, to urban areas. However, there is still a dearth of studies investigating NPF processes and subsequent aerosol ...

Convection of water vapour in snowpacks

Michael Lehning, Varun Sharma, Mahdi Jafari

This paper studies numerically the convection of water vapour in snowpacks using an Eulerian-Eulerian two-phase approach. The convective water vapour transport in snow and its effects on snow density are often invoked to explain observed density profiles, ...

Exploring the link between austral stratospheric polar vortex anomalies and surface climate in chemistry-climate models

Nora Bergner

Extreme events in the stratospheric polar vortex can lead to changes in the tropospheric circulation and impact the surface climate on a wide range of timescales. The austral stratospheric vortex shows its largest variability in spring, and a weakened pola ...

Gyrokinetic simulations of turbulence and zonal flows driven by steep profile gradients using a delta-f approach with an evolving background Maxwellian

Laurent Villard, Stephan Brunner, Alberto Bottino, Ben McMillan, Moahan Murugappan

Long global gyrokinetic turbulence simulations are particularly challenging in situations where the system deviates strongly from its initial state and when fluctuation levels are high, for example, in strong gradient regions. For particle-in-cell simulati ...

Effects of the parallel flow shear on the ITG-driven turbulent transport in tokamak plasmas

Javier García Hernández, Yann Camenen, Samuele Mazzi

The impact of the parallel flow shear on the tokamak plasma stability and turbulent transport driven by the ion temperature gradient (ITG) modes is analyzed by means of local gyrokinetic numerical analyses. It is shown that the parallel flow shear increase ...

Large contribution to secondary organic aerosol from isoprene cloud chemistry

Julia Schmale, Daniil Salionov

Aerosols still present the largest uncertainty in estimating anthropogenic radiative forcing. Cloud processing is potentially important for secondary organic aerosol (SOA) formation, a major aerosol component: however, laboratory experiments fail to mimic ...

How eigenmode self-interaction affects zonal flows and convergence of tokamak core turbulence with toroidal system size

Stephan Brunner, Gabriele Merlo, Justin Richard Ball, Julien Stanislas Pierre Dominski, Ajay Chandrarajan Jayalekshmi

Self-interaction is the process by which a microinstability eigenmode that is extended along the direction parallel to the magnetic field interacts non-linearly with itself. This effect is particularly significant in gyrokinetic simulations accounting for ...
