Shipping fuel pathways in a changing climate
This study examines fuel use and environmental impact of shipping industry on Baltic Sea. It focuses on assessing the effects of environmental regulations and proposing decarbonisation scenarios while regulating the SOx and NOx emissions. The abatement measures and alternative fuels as replacements for high-sulphur and carbon-intensive fuels (HFO) are evaluated through technology availability, maturity, fuel price, energy mix and regulation. In t…

Can data-driven weather models accurately forecast atmospheric rivers
The rapid rise of data-driven weather forecasting has prompted increasing interest in how such models perform relative to traditional numerical weather prediction systems. While recent studies have highlighted the formers’ superior skill on standard forecast metrics, questions remain regarding their ability to forecast physically complex, derived variables, particularly in the context of extreme events. In this study, we assess the performance of…
Influence of mesoscale sea surface temperature anomaly on polar lows
Sea surface temperature anomaly (SSTA) associated with mesoscale oceanic processes, which are prevalent throughout the ocean, can significantly influence the atmospheric boundary layer and consequently atmospheric systems. While its influences on tropical and extratropical cyclones have been well-documented, the influence of mesoscale SSTA on polar lows (PLs) remains unexplored. To bridge this knowledge gap, we conducted a series of sensitivity n…
Perspectives on shipping emissions and their impacts on the surface ocean and lower atmosphere
Shipping is the cornerstone of international trade and thus a critical economic sector. However, ships predominantly use fossil fuels for propulsion and electricity generation, which emit greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide and methane, and air pollutants such as particulate matter, sulfur oxides, nitrogen oxides, and volatile organic compounds. The availability of Automatic Information System (AIS) data has helped to improve the emission inv…
Diel, seasonal, and inter-annual variation in carbon dioxide effluxes from lakes and reservoirs
Accounting for temporal changes in carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) effluxes from freshwaters remains a challenge for global and regional carbon budgets. Here, we synthesize 171 site-months of flux measurements of CO 2 based on the eddy covariance method from 13 lakes and reservoirs in the Northern Hemisphere, and quantify dynamics at multiple temporal scales. We found pronounced sub-annual variability in CO 2 flux at all sites. By accounting for diel vari…
The potential future contribution of shipping to acidification of the Baltic Sea
International regulation of the emission of acidic sulphur and nitrogen oxides from commercial shipping has focused on the risks to human health, with little attention paid to the consequences for the marine environment. The introduction of stricter regulations in northern Europe has led to substantial investment in scrubbers that absorb the sulphur oxides in a counterflow of seawater. This paper examines the consequences of smokestack and scrubb…
Shipping and the environment
While shipping has long been recognised as a very carbon-efficient transport medium, there is an increasing focus on its broader environmental consequences. The International Maritime Organisation is responsible for the regulation of ship emissions arising from fuel combustion. Their current regulations are, however, much less strict than those applying to land-based transport within the European Union. Five different groups of pollutant emission…
Biogeochemical Control of the Coupled CO2–O2 System of the Baltic Sea
Past, present, and possible future changes in the Baltic Sea acid-base and oxygen balances were studied using different numerical experiments and a catchment-sea model system in several scenarios including business as usual, medium scenario, and the Baltic Sea Action Plan. New CO2 partial pressure data provided guidance for improving the marine biogeochemical model. Continuous CO2 and nutrient measurements with high temporal resolution helped dis…
