Biogenic Sources Still Dominate Organic Carbon Aerosol in Europe
Scientists use radiocarbon measurements from Alpine ice to quantify present and past anthropogenic versus biogenic sources of organic carbon aerosols in the European atmosphere.
Phased-Array Radar Detection of Electrically Aligned Ice Crystals
A new method for observing electrically aligned ice crystals in localized storms can detect the onset of electrification and lightning in developing storms.
New Insights on Atmospheric Waves from the Hunga Volcanic Eruption
High temporal resolution geostationary imagery reveals new details of atmospheric waves generated by the January 2022 Hunga volcanic eruption and provides a chronology of the eruption sequence.
Anzali Wetland, Iran’s “Ecological Gem,” May Dry Up by 2060
More sustainable watershed management and agriculture are needed to avoid a desiccated fate.
The Escalating Impact of Global Warming on Atmospheric Rivers
Climate change is set to intensify atmospheric rivers and exacerbate extreme rainfall worldwide.
Modeling Stratospheric Impacts on North American Extreme Events
A new study quantifies the tropospheric and surface impacts of extreme stratospheric wave events and evaluates their representation in state-of-the-art climate models.
Dryline-Induced Thunderstorms Over the Southern Africa Plateau
Scientists present the first comprehensive study of dryline formation and associated thunderstorms over the southern African plateau from 2010 to 2021.
Tracking Human CO2 Emissions from Medium-Sized Cities
Atmospheric inverse models, combined with observations, successfully tracked modest CO2 emission reductions in Salt Lake City during the first COVID-19 lockdown in 2020.
