Atmospheric isoprene measurements reveal larger-than-expected Southern Ocean emissions

Isoprene is a key trace component of the atmosphere emitted by vegetation and other organisms. It is highly reactive and can impact atmospheric composition and climate by affecting the greenhouse gases ozone and methane and secondary organic aerosol format ...

Semiclassical Estimates for Eigenvalue Means of Laplacians on Spheres

Joachim Stubbe, Luigi Provenzano, Davide Buoso, Paolo Luzzini

We compute three-term semiclassical asymptotic expansions of counting functions and Riesz-means of the eigenvalues of the Laplacian on spheres and hemispheres, for both Dirichlet and Neumann boundary conditions. Specifically for Riesz-means we prove upper ...

Chimney‐Like Intense Pelagic Upwelling in the Center of Basin‐Scale Cyclonic Gyres in Large Lake Geneva

Ulrich Lemmin, David Andrew Barry, Rafael Sebastian Reiss, Mehrshad Foroughan, Seyed Mahmood Hamze Ziabari

Basin-scale quasi-geostrophic gyres are common features of large lakes subject to Coriolis force. Cyclonic gyres are often characterized by dome-shaped thermoclines that form due to pelagic upwelling that takes place in their center. At present, the dynami ...

Untangling the influence of Antarctic and Southern Ocean life on clouds

Jenny Thomas, Julia Schmale, Hélène Paule Angot, Markus Frey

Polar environments are among the fastest changing regions on the planet. It is a crucial time to make significant improvements in our understanding of how ocean and ice biogeochemical processes are linked with the atmosphere. This is especially true over A ...

Polar oceans and sea ice in a changing climate

Jenny Thomas, Julia Schmale, Hélène Paule Angot

Polar oceans and sea ice cover 15% of the Earth’s ocean surface, and the environment is changing rapidly at both poles. Improving knowledge on the interactions between the atmospheric and oceanic realms in the polar regions, a Surface Ocean–Lower Atmospher ...

Unraveling submesoscale processes associated with meso- and basin-scale gyres in Lake Geneva

Seyed Mahmood Hamze Ziabari

In large lakes, basin-scale gyres and submesoscale eddies, i.e., rotating coherent water masses, play a key role in spreading biochemical materials and energy throughout the basin, thereby significantly impacting water quality. Due to their transient and s ...

Excess labile carbon promotes diazotroph abundance in heat-stressed octocorals

Claudia Isabella Pogoreutz

Nitrogen limitation is the foundation of stable coral-algal symbioses. Diazotrophs, prokaryotes capable of fixing N-2 into ammonia, support the productivity of corals in oligotrophic waters, but could contribute to the destabilization of holobiont function ...

Key challenges for tropospheric chemistry in the Southern Hemisphere

Julia Schmale

This commentary paper from the recently formed International Global Atmospheric Chemistry (IGAC) Southern Hemisphere Working Group outlines key issues in atmospheric composition research that particularly impact the Southern Hemisphere. In this article, we ...

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 ...

Basin-scale gyres and mesoscale eddies in large lakes: A novel procedure for their detection and characterization, assessed in Lake Geneva

Ulrich Lemmin, David Andrew Barry, Mehrshad Foroughan, Frédéric Charles Soulignac, Seyed Mahmood Hamze Ziabari

In large lakes subject to the Coriolis force, basin-scale gyres and mesoscale eddies, i.e. rotating coherent water masses, play a key role in spreading biochemical materials and energy throughout the lake. In order to assess the spatial and temporal extent ...

Evidence that Pacific tuna mercury levels are driven by marine methylmercury production and anthropogenic inputs

Hélène Paule Angot

Pacific Ocean tuna is among the most-consumed seafood products but contains relatively high levels of the neurotoxin methylmercury. Limited observations suggest tuna mercury levels vary in space and time, yet the drivers are not well understood. Here, we m ...

Genomic consequences of colonisation, migration and genetic drift in barn owl insular populations of the eastern Mediterranean

Nicolas Jean Philippe Guex, Eléonore Lavanchy

The study of insular populations was key in the development of evolutionary theory. The successful colonisation of an island depends on the geographic context, and specific characteristics of the organism and the island, but also on stochastic processes. A ...

Detecting submesoscale cold filaments in a basin-scale gyre in large, deep Lake Geneva (Switzerland/France)

Ulrich Lemmin, David Andrew Barry, Amir Mehdi Razmi, Seyed Mahmood Hamze Ziabari

Submesoscale filaments are a well-documented feature of oceanic flow fields. Based on the analysis of high-resolution 3D numerical simulations, field observations and remote sensing imagery, this study, carried out in Lake Geneva, Western Europe's largest ...

Biomass burning and marine aerosol processing over the southeast Atlantic Ocean: a TEM single-particle analysis

Jonathan Marc Taylor, Athanasios Nenes, Lu Zhang

This study characterizes single-particle aerosol composition from filters collected during the ObseRvations of Aerosols above CLouds and their intEractionS (ORACLES) and CLoud-Aerosol-Radiation Interaction and Forcing: Year 2017 (CLARIFY-2017) campaigns. I ...

Highly Active Ice‐Nucleating Particles at the Summer North Pole

Julia Schmale

The amount of ice versus supercooled water in clouds is important for their radiative properties and role in climate feedbacks. Hence, knowledge of the concentration of ice-nucleating particles (INPs) is needed. Generally, the concentrations of INPs are fo ...

Light absorption by brown carbon over the South-East Atlantic Ocean

Athanasios Nenes, Lu Zhang

Biomass burning emissions often contain brown carbon (BrC), which represents a large family of light-absorbing organics that are chemically complex, thus making it difficult to estimate their absorption of incoming solar radiation, resulting in large uncer ...

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 ...

Relative, local and global dimension in complex networks

Alexis Arnaudon

Dimension is a fundamental property of objects and the space in which they are embedded. Yet ideal notions of dimension, as in Euclidean spaces, do not always translate to physical spaces, which can be constrained by boundaries and distorted by inhomogenei ...
