Previous research on the direct effect of atmospheric aerosols on climate has estimated the average radiative forcing per unit sulfate mass, and has used this average to calculate the magnitude and spatial distribution of sulfate forcing. In this paper, we ...
Fundamental for the understanding of processes involved in climate change is the knowledge about its temporal and spatial evolution. Of special interest is the relation between high-latitude polar sites since they are a major component in climate change. I ...
The LIDAR principle for air quality and meteorol. measurements is presented, followed by different examples of vertical O3 profiles and time series obtained with a new optical layout of the EPFL-LPAS DIAL system using dual telescope detection. These data w ...
The European Project for Ice Coring in Antarctica Dome C ice core enables us to extend existing records of atmospheric methane (CH4) and nitrous oxide (N2O) back to 650,000 years before the present. A combined record of CH4 measured along the Dome C and th ...

Oxidative potential (OP), which is the ability of certain components in atmospheric particles to generate reactive oxidative species (ROS) and deplete antioxidants in vivo, is a prevailing toxicological mechanism underlying the adverse health effects assoc ...
Biomass burning is a major source of atmospheric brown carbon (BrC), and through its absorption of UV/VIS radiation, it can play an important role in the planetary radiative balance and atmospheric photochemistry. The considerable uncertainty of BrC impact ...
The atmospheric trend of methane isotopic ratios since the mid-20th century has been reconstructed from Antarctic firn air. High volume air samples were extracted at several depth levels at two sites in East Antarctica. Methane concentration and its 13C/12 ...
A computer simulation of some chem. scenarios are presented to obtain preliminary information on what can be learned from pump-and-probe lidar expts., i.e., in situ laser flash photolysis in the troposphere. The decay of the OH concn. following the flash p ...
Measuring emissions from nonuniform area sources, such as waste repository sites, has been a difficult problem. A simple but reliable method is not available. An objective method of inverting downwind concentration measurements, utilizing an assumed form o ...
