Active lithoautotrophic and methane-oxidizing microbial community in an anoxic, sub-zero, and hypersaline High Arctic spring

Lost Hammer Spring, located in the High Arctic of Nunavut, Canada, is one of the coldest and saltiest terrestrial springs discovered to date. It perennially discharges anoxic (

Acidity and the multiphase chemistry of atmospheric aqueous particles and clouds

Athanasios Nenes

The acidity of aqueous atmospheric solutions is a key parameter driving both the partitioning of semi-volatile acidic and basic trace gases and their aqueous-phase chemistry. In addition, the acidity of atmospheric aqueous phases, e.g., deliquesced aerosol ...

Chemical and Microphysical State of the Central Arctic Atmosphere

Julia Schmale, Ivo Fabio Beck, Hélène Paule Angot, Lubna Dada

The Arctic is warming three times faster than the rest of the planet. Increased areas of open ocean and changes in atmospheric transport pathways affect the Arctic atmospheric chemical and microphysical state, which themselves can modulate cloud, precipita ...

Impact Of Warm Air Mass Intrusions On Atmospheric Chemistry And Microphysics

Julia Schmale, Andrea Baccarini, Ivo Fabio Beck, Hélène Paule Angot, Lubna Dada

Arctic winter is dominated by anthropogenic haze, while pollution transport from mid-latitudes decreases in summertime. As a result, aerosol concentrations reach a maximum in winter and drop to minimum in summer. What happens during the season transition, ...

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 ...

Gas-Phase Ozone Reactions with a Structurally Diverse Set of Molecules: Barrier Heights and Reaction Energies Evaluated by Coupled Cluster and Density Functional Theory Calculations

Jeremy Samuel Arey, Peter Rudolf Tentscher, Daniela Trogolo

Reactions with ozone transform organic and inorganic molecules in water treatment systems as well as in atmospheric chemistry, either in the aqueous phase, at gas/particle interfaces, or in the gas phase. Computed thermokinetic data can be used to estimate ...

Sub-Ocean: Subsea Dissolved Methane Measurements Using an Embedded Laser Spectrometer Technology

Jérôme Chappellaz

The causes of the ∼80 ppmv increase of atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) during the last glacial.interglacial climatic transition remain debated. We analyzed the parallel evolution of CO2 and its stable carbon isotopic ratio (δ13CO2) in the European Project ...

All-fiber molecular frequency reference at 2 μm based on a versatile laser modulation sideband locking and a hollow-core fiber gas cell

Luc Thévenaz, Kenny Hey Tow

Sensing of atmospheric trace gases is crucial for climate monitoring and to predict global climate changes. The required global coverage and spatial resolution have driven the studies of space-borne differential absorption lidar (DIAL) instruments to remot ...

The SUBGLACIOR drilling probe: Concept and design

Jérôme Chappellaz

Analyses of air extracted from polar ice cores are the most straightforward method of reconstructing the atmospheric concentrations of greenhouse gases and their variations for past climatic epochs. These measurements show that the concentration of the thr ...
