Evaluation of the ability of radiation transmission model and MODIS images to estimate aerosol optical depth [PDF]
Aerosols play an important role in the climate system of the atmosphere. These atmospheric particles are directly affected by changing radiation exposure by diffusing and absorbing different wavelengths and indirectly by changing the optical properties ...

South-hemispheric marine aerosol Hg and S isotope compositions reveal different oxidation pathways
Particle-bound mercury (PBM) records the oxidation of elemental mercury, of which the main oxidation pathways (Br∙/Cl∙/OH∙/O3) remain unclear, especially in the Southern Hemisphere. Here, we present latitudinal covariations of Hg and S-isotopic anomalies
