Effects of wind-blown dust emissions on size-resolved aerosol acidity over the US

Wind-blown dust can affect the acidity of all particles, impacting a series of related chemical processes. In this work, we use a wind-blown dust emissions model along with the hybrid version of aerosol dynamics in the PMCAMx chemical transport model to qu ...

Highly Hygroscopic Aerosols Facilitate Summer and Early‐Autumn Cloud Formation at Extremely Low Concentrations Over the Central Arctic Ocean

Julia Schmale, Andrea Baccarini

Arctic clouds are sensitive to atmospheric particles since these are sometimes in such low concentrations that clouds cannot always form under supersaturated water vapor conditions. This is especially true in the late summer, when aerosol concentrations ar ...

Characteristics and sources of fluorescent aerosols in the central Arctic Ocean

Margarida Teles Nogueira Rolo, Julia Schmale, Ivo Fabio Beck, Hélène Paule Angot, Jakob Boyd Pernov, Benjamin Jérémy Laurent Heutte, Markus Frey, Oliver Müller, Nora Bergner, Alireza Moallemi

The Arctic is sensitive to cloud radiative forcing. Due to the limited number of aerosols present throughout much of the year, cloud formation is susceptible to the presence of cloud condensation nuclei and ice nucleating particles (INPs). Primary biologic ...

New Particle Formation Events Can Reduce Cloud Droplets in Boundary Layer Clouds at the Continental Scale

Athanasios Nenes

New particle formation (NPF) substantially contributes to global cloud condensation nuclei (CCN), and their climate impacts. Individual NPF events are also thought to increase local CCN, cloud droplet number (CDN), and cloud albedo. High resolution simulat ...

Glucose Enhances Salinity-Driven Sea Spray Aerosol Production in Eastern Arctic Waters

Athanasios Nenes, Julia Schmale

Sea spray aerosols (SSA) greatly affect the climate system by scattering solar radiation and acting as seeds for cloud droplet formation. The ecosystems in the Arctic Ocean are rapidly changing due to global warming, and the effects these changes have on t ...

Recent improvements and maximum covariance analysis of aerosol and cloud properties in the EC-Earth3-AerChem model

Paraskevi Georgakaki

Given the importance of aerosols and clouds and their interactions in the climate system, it is imperative that the global Earth system models accurately represent processes associated with them. This is an important prerequisite if we are to narrow the un ...

Simulations of primary and secondary ice production during an Arctic mixed-phase cloud case from the Ny-Ålesund Aerosol Cloud Experiment (NASCENT) campaign

Georgia Sotiropoulou, Paraskevi Georgakaki

The representation of Arctic clouds and their phase distributions, i.e., the amount of ice and supercooled water, influences predictions of future Arctic warming. Therefore, it is essential that cloud phase is correctly captured by models in order to accur ...

Iodine oxoacids enhance nucleation of sulfuric acid particles in the atmosphere

Mihnea Surdu, Andrea Baccarini, Lubna Dada

The main nucleating vapor in the atmosphere is thought to be sulfuric acid (H2SO4), stabilized by ammonia (NH3). However, in marine and polar regions, NH3 is generally low, and H2SO4 is frequently found together with iodine oxoacids [HIOx, i.e., iodic acid ...
