Observations of high-time-resolution and size-resolved aerosol chemical composition and microphysics in the central Arctic: implications for climate-relevant particle properties

Julia Schmale, Andrea Baccarini, Benjamin Jérémy Laurent Heutte, Jakob Boyd Pernov, Nora Bergner, Ivo Fabio Beck, Hélène Paule Angot, Lubna Dada, Markus Frey

Aerosols play a critical role in the Arctic's radiative balance, influencing solar radiation and cloud formation. Limited observations in the central Arctic leave gaps in understanding aerosol dynamics year-round, affecting model predictions of climate-rel ...

Characteristics and effects of aerosols during blowing snow events in the central Arctic

Julia Schmale, Benjamin Jérémy Laurent Heutte, Jakob Boyd Pernov, Nora Bergner, Michael Lonardi, Jian Wang, Ivo Fabio Beck, Hélène Paule Angot

Sea salt aerosol (SSaer) significantly impacts aerosol-radiation and aerosol-cloud interactions, and sublimated blowing snow is hypothesized to be an important SSaer source in polar regions. Understanding blowing snow and other wind-sourced aerosols’ clima ...

Data-driven modeling of environmental factors influencing Arctic methanesulfonic acid aerosol concentrations

Julia Schmale, Jakob Boyd Pernov

Natural aerosol components such as particulate methanesulfonic acid (MSA p) play an important role in the Arctic climate. However, numerical models struggle to reproduce MSA p concentrations and seasonality. Here we present an alternative data-driven metho ...

On the dynamics of ozone depletion events at Villum Research Station in the High Arctic

Jakob Boyd Pernov

Ozone depletion events (ODEs) occur every spring in the Arctic and have implications for the region's atmospheric oxidizing capacity, radiative balance, and mercury oxidation. Here, we comprehensively analyze ozone, ODEs, and their connection to meteorolog ...

Characteristics and sources of fluorescent aerosols in the central Arctic Ocean

Julia Schmale, Benjamin Jérémy Laurent Heutte, Jakob Boyd Pernov, Nora Bergner, Ivo Fabio Beck, Oliver Müller, Hélène Paule Angot, Alireza Moallemi, Margarida Teles Nogueira Rolo, Markus Frey

The Arctic is sensitive to cloud radiative forcing. Due to the limited number of aerosols present throughout much of the year, cloud formation is susceptible to the presence of cloud condensation nuclei and ice nucleating particles (INPs). Primary biologic ...

Comparison of selected surface level ERA5 variables against in‐situ observations in the continental Arctic

Julia Schmale, Jakob Boyd Pernov, Jules Gros-Daillon

In this study, data from 17 ground-based, continental Arctic observatories areused to evaluate the performance of the European Centre for Medium-RangeWeather Forecasts Reanalysis version 5 (ERA5) reanalysis model. Three aspectsare evaluated: (i) the overal ...

Pan-Arctic methanesulfonic acid aerosol: source regions, atmospheric drivers, and future projections

Julia Schmale, Jakob Boyd Pernov

Natural aerosols are an important, yet understudied, part of the Arctic climate system. Natural marine biogenic aerosol components (e.g., methanesulfonic acid, MSA) are becoming increasingly important due to changing environmental conditions. In this study ...

Arctic tropospheric ozone: assessment of current knowledge and model performance

Jakob Boyd Pernov, Ilann Ernest Valentin Bourgeois, Luca Pozzoli

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 ...

Measurement report: High Arctic aerosol hygroscopicity at sub- and supersaturated conditions during spring and summer

Jakob Boyd Pernov

Aerosol hygroscopic growth and cloud droplet formation influence the radiation transfer budget of the atmosphere and thereby the climate. In the Arctic, these aerosol properties may have a more pronounced effect on the climate compared to the midlatitudes. ...
