The use of δ 13 C in CO to determine removal of CH 4 by Cl radicals in the atmosphere
The reaction of CH 4 with chlorine (Cl) radicals in the atmosphere is associated with an extraordinarily strong isotopic fractionation, where 12 CH 4 reacts about 70 ‰ faster with Cl than 13 CH 4 . Therefore, although the Cl-based sink of CH 4 constitutes only a small contribution to its total removal rate, the uncertainty in this small sink has been identified as one of the two largest uncertainties of isotope-based CH 4 source apportionment at …
Evaluating the potential of iron-based interventions in methane reduction and climate mitigation
Keeping global surface temperatures below international climate targets will require substantial measures to control atmospheric CO 2 and CH 4 concentrations. Recent studies have focused on interventions to decrease CH 4 through enhanced atmospheric oxidation. Here for the first time using a set of models, we evaluate the effect of adding iron aerosols to the atmosphere to enhance molecular chlorine production, and thus enhance the atmospheric ox…
Modelling the coupled mercury-halogen-ozone cycle in the central Arctic during spring
Near-surface mercury and ozone depletion events occur in the lowest part of the atmosphere during Arctic spring. Mercury depletion is the first step in a process that transforms long-lived elemental mercury to more reactive forms within the Arctic that are deposited to the cryosphere, ocean, and other surfaces, which can ultimately get integrated into the Arctic food web. Depletion of both mercury and ozone occur due to the presence of reactive h…
Impacts of ocean biogeochemistry on atmospheric chemistry
Ocean biogeochemistry involves the production and consumption of an array of organic compounds and halogenated trace gases that influence the composition and reactivity of the atmosphere, air quality, and the climate system. Some of these molecules affect tropospheric ozone and secondary aerosol formation and impact the atmospheric oxidation capacity on both regional and global scales. Other emissions undergo transport to the stratosphere, where …
Tropospheric Ozone Assessment Report
Our understanding of the processes that control the burden and budget of tropospheric ozone has changed dramatically over the last 60 years. Models are the key tools used to understand these changes, and these underscore that there are many processes important in controlling the tropospheric ozone budget. In this critical review, we assess our evolving understanding of these processes, both physical and chemical. We review model simulations from …
Fostering multidisciplinary research on interactions between chemistry, biology, and physics within the coupled cryosphere-atmosphere system
The cryosphere, which comprises a large portion of Earth’s surface, is rapidly changing as a consequence of global climate change. Ice, snow, and frozen ground in the polar and alpine regions of the planet are known to directly impact atmospheric composition, which for example is observed in the large influence of ice and snow on polar boundary layer chemistry. Atmospheric inputs to the cryosphere, including aerosols, nutrients, and contaminants,…
Tropospheric Ozone Assessment Report
The goal of the Tropospheric Ozone Assessment Report (TOAR) is to provide the research community with an up-to-date scientific assessment of tropospheric ozone, from the surface to the tropopause. While a suite of observations provides significant information on the spatial and temporal distribution of tropospheric ozone, observational gaps make it necessary to use global atmospheric chemistry models to synthesize our understanding of the process…
