New Particle Formation Events Can Reduce Cloud Droplets in Boundary Layer Clouds at the Continental Scale
Athanasios Nenes, Spyros Pandis
New particle formation (NPF) substantially contributes to global cloud condensation nuclei (CCN), and their climate impacts. Individual NPF events are also thought to increase local CCN, cloud droplet number (CDN), and cloud albedo. High resolution simulat ...
Washington2024Characteristics and sources of fluorescent aerosols in the central Arctic Ocean
Julia Schmale, Benjamin Jérémy Laurent Heutte, Jakob Boyd Pernov, Nora Bergner, Oliver Müller, Ivo Fabio Beck, Hélène Paule Angot, Markus Frey, Alireza Moallemi, Margarida Teles Nogueira Rolo
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 ...
2024Highly Hygroscopic Aerosols Facilitate Summer and Early‐Autumn Cloud Formation at Extremely Low Concentrations Over the Central Arctic Ocean
Julia Schmale, Andrea Baccarini
Arctic clouds are sensitive to atmospheric particles since these are sometimes in such low concentrations that clouds cannot always form under supersaturated water vapor conditions. This is especially true in the late summer, when aerosol concentrations ar ...
2024The Influence of the Planetary Boundary Layer on the Atmospheric State at an Orographic Site at the Eastern Mediterranean
Athanasios Nenes, Romanos Foskinis, Kunfeng Gao
We studied the influence of the Planetary Boundary Layer (PBL) on the air masses sampled at the mountaintop Hellenic Atmospheric Aerosol and Climate Change station ((HAC) 2 ) at Mount Helmos (Greece) during the Cloud-AerosoL InteractionS in the Helmos back ...
Stockholm Univ Press2024Glucose Enhances Salinity-Driven Sea Spray Aerosol Production in Eastern Arctic Waters
Athanasios Nenes, Julia Schmale, André Welti, Guangyu Li
Sea spray aerosols (SSA) greatly affect the climate system by scattering solar radiation and acting as seeds for cloud droplet formation. The ecosystems in the Arctic Ocean are rapidly changing due to global warming, and the effects these changes have on t ...
2024Modular Multiplatform Compatible Air Measurement System (MoMuCAMS): a new modular platform for boundary layer aerosol and trace gas vertical measurements in extreme environments
Julia Schmale, Andrea Baccarini, Roman Pohorsky
The Modular Multiplatform Compatible Air Measurement System (MoMuCAMS) is a newly developed in situ aerosol and trace gas measurement platform for lower-atmospheric vertical profiling. MoMuCAMS has been primarily designed to be attached to a Helikite, a ru ...
2024Comparison 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 ...
2024Impact of anthropogenic emission control in reducing future PM2.5 concentrations and the related oxidative potential across different regions of China
Affected by both future anthropogenic emissions and climate change, future prediction of PM2.5 and its Oxidative Potential (OP) distribution is a significant challenge, especially in developing countries like China. To overcome this challenge, we estimated ...
Elsevier2024Good enough: Intermediate complexity atmospheric models improve the representation of processes affecting seasonal snow
Snow plays a crucial role in processes regulating ecosystems, the climate, and human development. Mountain snowpack in particular has great relevance for downstream communities. Knowledge about the distribution and properties of the snowpack thus help in p ...
EPFL2024Unraveling ice multiplication in winter orographic clouds via in-situ observations, remote sensing and modeling
Athanasios Nenes, Alexis Berne, Satoshi Takahama, Georgia Sotiropoulou, Paraskevi Georgakaki, Romanos Foskinis, Kunfeng Gao, Anne-Claire Marie Billault--Roux
Recent years have shown that secondary ice production (SIP) is ubiquitous, affecting all clouds from polar to tropical regions. SIP is not described well in models and may explain biases in warm mixed-phase cloud ice content and structure. Through modeling ...
