Characteristics and effects of aerosols during blowing snow events in the central Arctic

Jian Wang, Julia Schmale, Ivo Fabio Beck, Hélène Paule Angot, Jakob Boyd Pernov, Benjamin Jérémy Laurent Heutte, Nora Bergner, Michael Lonardi, Martin Schneebeli

Sea salt aerosol (SSaer) significantly impacts aerosol-radiation and aerosol-cloud interactions, and sublimated blowing snow is hypothesized to be an important SSaer source in polar regions. Understanding blowing snow and other wind-sourced aerosols’ clima ...

Assessing the Global Contribution of Marine Aerosols, Terrestrial Bioaerosols, and Desert Dust to Ice-nucleating Particle Concentrations

Athanasios Nenes

Aerosol-cloud interactions, particularly ice processes in mixed-phase clouds (MPCs), remain a key source of uncertainty in climate change assessments. This study introduces state-of-the-art laboratory-based parameterizations into a global chemistry-transpo ...

On the relation between the planetary boundary layer height and in situ surface observations of atmospheric aerosol pollutants during spring in an urban area

Athanasios Nenes, Romanos Foskinis

In this study we present the role of the Planetary Boundary Layer Height (PBLH) on the air pollutant concentrations measured at an urban background station at the megacity of Athens, Greece, an area characterized by complex topography. For this purpose, we ...

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 ...

Quantifying the impact of urban trees on air quality in Geneva, Switzerland

Julia Schmale, Charlotte Grossiord, Aurèle Pulfer, Ilann Ernest Valentin Bourgeois

Atmospheric pollution threatens human health worldwide, with tropospheric ozone (O 3) and particulate matter (PM) among the most harmful pollutants. Urban trees can reduce the concentration of air pollutants through dry deposition on their canopies and sto ...

Biological and dust aerosols as sources of ice-nucleating particles in the eastern Mediterranean: Source apportionment, atmospheric processing and parameterization

Alexis Berne, Athanasios Nenes, Anne-Claire Marie Billault--Roux, Paraskevi Georgakaki, Kunfeng Gao, Romanos Foskinis

Aerosol-cloud interactions in mixed-phase clouds (MPCs) are one of the most uncertain drivers of the hydrological cycle and climate change. A synergy of in situ, remote-sensing and modelling experiments were used to determine the source of ice-nucleating p ...

Reducing Aerosol Forcing Uncertainty by Combining Models With Satellite and Within-The-Atmosphere Observations: A Three-Way Street

Athanasios Nenes

Aerosol forcing uncertainty represents the largest climate forcing uncertainty overall. Its magnitude has remained virtually undiminished over the past 20 years despite considerable advances in understanding most of the key contributing elements. Recent wo ...
