Arctic atmospheric mercury: Sources and changes

Hélène Paule Angot

Global anthropogenic and legacy mercury (Hg) emissions are the main sources of Arctic Hg contamination, primarily transported there via the atmosphere. This review summarizes the state of knowledge of the global anthropogenic sources of Hg emissions, and e ...

Wind Transport of Snow Impacts Ka- and Ku-band Radar Signatures on Arctic Sea Ice

Marc Schneebeli Zeugin, David Nicholas Wagner

Wind transport alters the snow topography and microstructure on sea ice through snow redistribution controlled by deposition and erosion. The impact of these processes on radar signatures is poorly understood. Here, we examine the effects of snow redistrib ...

What are the likely changes in mercury concentration in the Arctic atmosphere and ocean under future emissions scenarios?

Hélène Paule Angot

Arctic mercury (Hg) concentrations respond to changes in anthropogenic Hg emissions and environmental change. This manuscript, prepared for the 2021 Arctic Monitoring and Assessment Programme Mercury Assessment, explores the response of Arctic Ocean Hg con ...

Annual cycle observations of aerosols capable of ice formation in central Arctic clouds

Julia Schmale, Ivo Fabio Beck

The Arctic is warming faster than anywhere else on Earth, prompting glacial melt, permafrost thaw, and sea ice decline. These severe consequences induce feedbacks that contribute to amplified warming, affecting weather and climate globally. Aerosols and cl ...

Water vapor transport in snowpacks

Mahdi Jafari

This thesis is an in-depth treatment of water vapor transport in snowpacks and its impacts on snow structure. The aim is to better understand this transport process and to lay the basis for a model representation in physics-based multi-layer snow models. O ...

Modelling the small-scale deposition of snow onto structured Arctic sea ice during a MOSAiC storm using snowBedFoam 1.0

Michael Lehning, Océane Hames, Mahdi Jafari, Marc Schneebeli Zeugin, David Nicholas Wagner

The remoteness and extreme conditions of the Arctic make it a very difficult environment to investigate. In these regions, the wind has a substantial effect and redistributes a large part of the snow, which complicates precipitation estimates. Moreover, th ...

Gravity Wave Excitation during the Coastal Transition of an Extreme Katabatic Flow in Antarctica

Alexis Berne, Etienne Gabriel Henri Vignon

The offshore extent of Antarctic katabatic winds exerts a strong control on the production of sea ice and the formation of polynyas. In this study, we make use of a combination of ground-based remotely sensed and meteorological measurements at Dumont d'Urv ...

Version 1 of a sea ice module for the physics-based, detailed, multi-layer SNOWPACK model

Michael Lehning, Katherine Colby Leonard, Nander Wever

Sea ice is an important component of the global climate system. The presence of a snowpack covering sea ice can strongly modify the thermodynamic behavior of the sea ice, due to the low thermal conductivity and high albedo of snow. The snowpack can be stra ...

The Impact of Diffusive Water Vapor Transport on Snow Profiles in Deep and Shallow Snow Covers and on Sea Ice

Michael Lehning, Varun Sharma, Adrien Michel, Mahdi Jafari, Margaux Caroline Patricia Couttet, Nander Wever, Isabelle Amandine Gouttevin

Water vapor transport has been highlighted as a critical process in Arctic snowpacks, shaping the snow cover structure in terms of density, thermal conductivity, and temperature profile among others. Here, we present an attempt to describe the thermally-in ...

Simultaneous Detection of Alkylamines in the Surface Ocean and Atmosphere of the Antarctic Sympagic Environment

Athanasios Nenes

Measurements of alkylamines from seawater and atmospheric samples collected simultaneously across the Antarctic Peninsula, South Orkney and South Georgia Islands are reported. Concentrations of mono-, di-, and trimethylamine (MMA, DMA, and TMA, respectivel ...
