Emergence of representative signals for sudden stratospheric warmings beyond current predictable lead times

Raphaël Gérard Théodore Michel Marie de Deloÿe et Fourcade de Fondeville, Guillaume Romain Obozinski

Major sudden stratospheric warmings (SSWs) are extreme wintertime circulation events of the Arctic stratosphere that are accompanied by a breakdown of the polar vortex and are considered an important source of predictability of tropospheric weather on subs ...

Secondary ice production in summer clouds over the Antarctic coast: an underappreciated process in atmospheric models

Alexis Berne, Etienne Gabriel Henri Vignon, Athanasios Nenes, Georgia Sotiropoulou

The correct representation of Antarctic clouds in atmospheric models is crucial for accurate projections of the future Antarctic climate. This is particularly true for summer clouds which play a critical role in the surface melting of the ice shelves in th ...

The role of air-sea fluxes for the water vapour isotope signals in the cold and warm sectors of extratropical cyclones over the Southern Ocean

Josué Etienne Gehring, Irina Gorodetskaya

Meridional atmospheric transport is an important process in the climate system and has implications for the availability of heat and moisture at high latitudes. Near-surface cold and warm temperature advection over the ocean in the context of extratropical ...

Ozone concentration measured during the Arctic Ocean 2018 expedition

Julia Schmale, Andrea Baccarini

Ozone was measured with a 2B Technology ozone monitor (model 205). The concentration is reported as a mixing ratio in parts per billion [ppb], at 60 seconds average. Ozone is a trace gas that can be formed directly in the troposphere (the most important fo ...

Statistical methods for accounting and understanding ozone trends derived from observations

Eirini Boleti

Emissions of ozone precursors have been regulated in Europe since around 1990 with air quality control measures, which resulted in reductions of nitrogen oxides and volatile organic compounds concentrations. In order to understand how these measures have a ...

The Indoor Chemical Human Emissions and Reactivity (ICHEAR) project: Overview of experimental methodology and preliminary results

Dusan Licina, Shen Yang

With the gradual reduction of emissions from building products, emissions from human occupants become more dominant indoors. The impact of human emissions on indoor air quality is inadequately understood. The aim of the Indoor Chemical Human Emissions and ...

Temporal and spatial analysis of ozone concentrations in Europe based on timescale decomposition and a multi-clustering approach

Satoshi Takahama, Eirini Boleti, Christoph Hueglin

Air quality measures that were implemented in Europe in the 1990s resulted in reductions of ozone precursor concentrations. In this study, the effect of these reductions on ozone is investigated by analyzing surface measurements of this pollutant for the t ...

Indoor air treatment of refrigerated food chambers with synergetic association between cold plasma and photocatalysis: Process performance and photocatalytic poisoning

Sami Rtimi

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficiency of non-thermal plasma (NTP) and heterogeneous photocatalytic processes for indoor air treatment of refrigerated food chambers. Propionic acid and benzene were chosen as target pollutants to simulate o ...

Molecular-Level Transformation of Dissolved Organic Matter during Oxidation by Ozone and Hydroxyl Radical

Urs von Gunten

Ozonation of drinking and wastewater relies on ozone (O-3) and hydroxyl radical ((OH)-O-center dot) as oxidants. Both oxidants react with dissolved organic matter (DOM) and alter its composition, but the selectivity of the two oxidants and mechanisms of re ...

Reactions of nitrogen-containing compounds with ozone: kinetics and mechanisms

Sung Eun Lim

Nitrogen-containing moieties are widespread in natural waters in dissolved organic nitrogen and micropollu-tants. They are often susceptible to an electrophilic attack of ozone because of the electron-rich nature of the neutral form of nitrogen in organic ...
