Simulations of primary and secondary ice production during an Arctic mixed-phase cloud case from the Ny-Ålesund Aerosol Cloud Experiment (NASCENT) campaign

Georgia Sotiropoulou, Paraskevi Georgakaki

The representation of Arctic clouds and their phase distributions, i.e., the amount of ice and supercooled water, influences predictions of future Arctic warming. Therefore, it is essential that cloud phase is correctly captured by models in order to accur ...

Impact of intercepted and sub-canopy snow microstructure on snowpack response to rain-on-snow events under a boreal canopy

Michael Lehning, Adrien Michel, Nander Wever, Daniel Nadeau, Benjamin Bouchard

Rain-on-snow events can cause severe flooding in snow-dominated regions. These are expected to become more frequent in the future as climate change shifts the precipitation from snowfall to rainfall. However, little is known about how winter rainfall inter ...

Arctic tropospheric ozone: assessment of current knowledge and model performance

Jakob Boyd Pernov, Luca Pozzoli, Ilann Ernest Valentin Bourgeois

As the third most important greenhouse gas (GHG) after carbon dioxide (CO2) and methane (CH4), tropospheric ozone (O3) is also an air pollutant causing damage to human health and ecosystems. This study brings together recent research on observations and mo ...

The Marginal Ice Zone as a dominant source region of atmospheric mercury during central Arctic summertime

Julia Schmale, Ivo Fabio Beck, Hélène Paule Angot

Atmospheric gaseous elemental mercury (GEM) concentrations in the Arctic exhibit a clear summertime maximum, while the origin of this peak is still a matter of debate in the community. Based on summertime observations during the Multidisciplinary drifting ...

Aerosol source identification in the spring and summertime central Arctic Ocean using high-resolution mass spectrometry during MOSAiC.

Julia Schmale, Ivo Fabio Beck, Benjamin Jérémy Laurent Heutte, Imad El Haddad, Jakob Boyd Pernov, Hélène Paule Angot, Lubna Dada

The Arctic region is undergoing considerable changes and is warming at a rate three to four times as fast as the rest of the world. Aerosols, which can originate from natural or anthropogenic sources, both of which can be locally emitted or long-range tran ...

Long-term biodegradation of crude oil in high-arctic backshore sediments: The Baffin Island Oil Spill (BIOS) after nearly four decades

Ianina Altshuler

With an on-going disproportional warming of the Arctic Ocean and the reduction of the sea ice cover, the risk of an accidental oil spill from ships or future oil exploration is increasing. It is hence important to know how crude oil weathers in this enviro ...

Fluorescent aerosols in the Arctic: Seasonality and sources

Julia Schmale, Ivo Fabio Beck, Benjamin Jérémy Laurent Heutte, Jakob Boyd Pernov, Hélène Paule Angot, Margarida Teles Nogueira Rolo

Aerosol-cloud interactions play an important role in regulating the Arctic climate. However, cloud formation processes in the Arctic remain poorly understood and information on aerosol properties in this environment are insufficient, especially during pola ...

Elucidating the present-day chemical composition, seasonality and source regions of climate-relevant aerosols across the Arctic land surface

Julia Schmale, Imad El Haddad

The Arctic is warming two to three times faster than the global average, and the role of aerosols is not well constrained. Aerosol number concentrations can be very low in remote environments, rendering local cloud radiative properties highly sensitive to ...

Using Novel Molecular-Level Chemical Composition Observations of High Arctic Organic Aerosol for Predictions of Cloud Condensation Nuclei

Julia Schmale, Andrea Baccarini, Lubna Dada

Predictions of cloud droplet activation in the late summertime (September) central Arctic Ocean are made using κ-Köhler theory with novel observations of the aerosol chemical composition from a high-resolution time-of-flight chemical ionization mass spectr ...

Modeling the small-scale deposition of snow onto structured Arctic sea ice during a MOSAiC storm using snowBedFoam 1.0.

Michael Lehning, Mahdi Jafari, Océane Hames, Marc Schneebeli Zeugin, David Nicholas Wagner

The remoteness and extreme conditions of the Arctic make it a very difficult environment to investigate. In these polar regions covered by sea ice, the wind is relatively strong due to the absence of obstructions and redistributes a large part of the depos ...
