Snowfall microphysics: a dual-frequency and Doppler spectral radar perspective

Snowfall is an essential component of the hydrological cycle, as it is involved in most precipitation on Earth, either directly as snow falling to the ground or indirectly as rain melted from snow. At the same time, the ice phase of clouds and precipitatio ...

Arctic warming by abundant fine sea salt aerosols from blowing snow

Julia Schmale, Nora Bergner, Jian Wang, Xin Yang, Markus Frey

The Arctic warms nearly four times faster than the global average, and aerosols play an increasingly important role in Arctic climate change. In the Arctic, sea salt is a major aerosol component in terms of mass concentration during winter and spring. Howe ...

Electron Diffraction of Water in No Man's Land

Marcel Drabbels, Ulrich Lorenz, Constantin Richard Krüger, Gabriele Bongiovanni, Nathan Junior Mowry

A generally accepted understanding of the anomalous properties of water will only emerge if it becomes possible to systematically characterize water in the deeply supercooled regime, from where the anomalies appear to emanate. This has largely remained elu ...

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 ...

Physical and Chemical Properties of Cloud Droplet Residuals and Aerosol Particles During the Arctic Ocean 2018 Expedition

Julia Schmale, Andrea Baccarini, Lubna Dada

Detailed knowledge of the physical and chemical properties and sources of particles that form clouds is especially important in pristine areas like the Arctic, where particle concentrations are often low and observations are sparse. Here, we present in sit ...

The impact of secondary ice processes on orographic mixed-phase clouds

Athanasios Nenes, Alexis Berne, Georgia Sotiropoulou, Paraskevi Georgakaki, Etienne Gabriel Henri Vignon

Ground based and airborne observations of orographic mixed-phase clouds (MPCs) forming over mountain top research stations have long reported a discrepancy between the measured ice crystal number concentrations (ICNCs) and the concentration of ice nucleati ...

In-situ observations of aerosol-cloud interactions in Ny-Ålesund, Svalbard, during fall 2019 and spring 2020

Athanasios Nenes, Ghislain Gilles Jean-Michel Motos, Paraskevi Georgakaki, Jörg Wieder

The Arctic region suffers an extreme vulnerability to climate change, with an increase in surface air temperatures that have reached twice the global rate during several decades (McBean et al., 2005). The role of clouds, and in particular low-levels clouds ...

Secondary ice production in summer clouds over the Antarctic coast: an underappreciated process in atmospheric models

Athanasios Nenes, Alexis Berne, Georgia Sotiropoulou, Etienne Gabriel Henri Vignon

The correct representation of Antarctic clouds in atmospheric models is crucial for accurate projections of the future Antarctic climate. This is particularly true for summer clouds which play a critical role in the surface melting of the ice shelves in th ...
