Characteristics and effects of aerosols during blowing snow events in the central Arctic
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’ climate relevant properties is needed, especially during winter when Arctic amplification is greatest. However, most of our understanding of blowing snow SSaer comes from modeling studies, and direct…
Impacts of enhanced new-particle growth events above urban roughness sublayer on cloud condensation nuclei
New-particle formation (NPF) events are frequently observed in urban environments, yet their occurrence and climate effects are still in question. We analyzed the physical and chemical processes during the new-particle growth (NPG) at the ground and 260 m based on measurements on the 325-m tower in the megacity of Beijing, China. Our results provide evidence for stronger NPG aloft in city, mainly due to the higher production of sulfuric acid alof…
Heatwave reveals potential for enhanced aerosol formation in Siberian boreal forest
Siberia is covered by 6 million km 2 of forest, which moderates climate as a carbon sink and a source of aerosol particles causing negative radiative effect. Aerosol particles in boreal forests frequently form via gas-to-particle conversion, known as new particle formation (NPF). Compared to boreal sites at similar latitudes, NPF was reported to occur less often in the Siberian forest. However, factors controlling NPF in Siberia remain unknown. O…
After-use of cutover peatland from the perspective of landowners
Institute for Atmospheric and Earth System Research (Inar)
Science diplomacy can be defined as “the use of scientific collaborations between countries to address joint problems and to build constructive international partnerships for delivering effective scientific advice for policy making”. During the last 10 years, the Institute for Atmospheric and Earth System Research (INAR) has been active in finding ways to solve global Grand Challenges, particularly climate change and poor air quality in polluted …
Climatic Factors Influencing the Anthrax Outbreak of 2016 in Siberia, Russia
In 2016, an outbreak of anthrax killing thousands of reindeer and affecting dozens of humans occurred on the Yamal peninsula, Northwest Siberia, after 70 years of epidemiological situation without outbreaks. The trigger of the outbreak has been ascribed to the activation of spores due to permafrost thaw that was accelerated during the summer heat wave. The focus of our study is on the dynamics of local environmental factors in connection with the…
Indoor Model Simulation for Covid-19 Transport and Exposure
Transmission of respiratory viruses is a complex process involving emission, deposition in the airways, and infection. Inhalation is often the most relevant transmission mode in indoor environments. For severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), the risk of inhalation transmission is not yet fully understood. Here, we used an indoor aerosol model combined with a regional inhaled deposited dose model to examine the indoor transp…
An enhanced integrated approach to knowledgeable high-resolution environmental quality assessment
Sustaining urban environmental quality requires effective policy measures that integrate local monitoring and contextualized high-resolution modelling with actionable scenarios. Knowledgeable decision making in this field can nowadays be supported by an array of atmospheric models, but their transfer into an Integrated Urban hydrometeorological, climate and environmental Services (IUS) remains challenging. Methodological aspects that are beyond p…
