Arctic warming by abundant fine sea salt aerosols from blowing snow

Jian Wang, Julia Schmale, Nora Bergner, 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 ...

Role of sesquiterpenes in biogenic new particle formation

Andrea Baccarini, Imad El Haddad, Lubna Dada, Federico Bianchi

Biogenic vapors form new particles in the atmosphere, affecting global climate. The contributions of monoterpenes and isoprene to new particle formation (NPF) have been extensively studied. However, sesquiterpenes have received little attention despite a p ...

Multi-campaign ship and aircraft observations of marine cloud condensation nuclei and droplet concentrations

Jian Wang, Athanasios Nenes

In-situ marine cloud droplet number concentrations (CDNCs), cloud condensation nuclei (CCN), and CCN proxies, based on particle sizes and optical properties, are accumulated from seven field campaigns: ACTIVATE; NAAMES; CAMP(2)EX; ORACLES; SOCRATES; MARCUS ...

Aerosol microphysics and chemical composition in the central Arctic atmosphere during the MOSAiC expedition

Ivo Fabio Beck, Benjamin Jérémy Laurent Heutte, Nora Bergner, Hélène Paule Angot, Lubna Dada

The Arctic environment is transforming rapidly due to climate change. Aerosols’ abundance and physicochemical characteristics play a crucial, yet uncertain, role in these changes due to their influence on the surface energy budget, and aerosol properties a ...

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 ...

Observed coupling between air mass history, secondary growth of nucleation mode particles and aerosol pollution levels in Beijing

Lubna Dada, Yu Fu, François Bianchi, Jingjing Jiang

Atmospheric aerosols have significant effects on the climate and on human health. New particle formation (NPF) is globally an important source of aerosols but its relevance especially towards aerosol mass loadings in highly polluted regions is still contro ...

An overview of the ORACLES (ObseRvations of Aerosols above CLouds and their intEractionS) project: aerosol-cloud-radiation interactions in the southeast Atlantic basin

Athanasios Nenes

Southern Africa produces almost a third of the Earth's biomass burning (BB) aerosol particles, yet the fate of these particles and their influence on regional and global climate is poorly understood. ORACLES (ObseRvations of Aerosols above CLouds and their ...

COPERNICUS GESELLSCHAFT MBH2021

On the drivers of droplet variability in alpine mixed-phase clouds

Athanasios Nenes, Alexis Berne, Paraskevi Georgakaki, Maxime Hervo, Jörg Wieder

Droplet formation provides a direct microphysical link between aerosols and clouds (liquid or mixed-phase), and its adequate description poses a major challenge for any atmospheric model. Observations are critical for evaluating and constraining the proces ...

Impact of warm air mass intrusions on atmospheric chemistry and microphysics: Observations during MOSAiC

Julia Schmale, Ivo Fabio Beck, 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, ...
