UKESM misses key marine aerosol formation pathways
Evaluation of UKESM1.1 against ATom aircraft data reveals missing marine aerosol formation pathways involving iodine, amines, and organic vapours in remote regions.
Aerosol mixing state differed between inland and coastal sites
Entropy-based analysis of aerosol mixing state and CCN activity reveals distinct seasonal and geographic patterns, with heightened sensitivity in externally-mixed regimes at inland and coastal sites.
Coastal aerosol types vary strongly by season worldwide
Analyze seasonal aerosol variations at coastal boundaries using global AERONET data. Machine learning identifies four distinct aerosol regimes with pronounced seasonal patterns and spectral.
High-altitude ice clouds show daytime cooling and nighttime warming
—
A rapid satellite-based methodology quantifies radiative forcing from high-altitude ice clouds and contrails using geostationary observations with 15% accuracy.
Dust layer weakens low-level cloud increase over the North Atlantic
Study quantifies how free-tropospheric Saharan dust over the North Atlantic modulates low-level cloud cover via longwave-induced cloud-top warming that counteracts shortwave-driven cloud enhancement.
