OH reactivity from the emissions of different tree species: investigating the missing reactivity in a boreal forest [PDF]
In forested area, a large fraction of total hydroxyl radical (OH) reactivity remains unaccounted for. Very few studies have looked at the variations in total OH reactivity from biogenic emissions.

Applications and limitations of constrained high-resolution peak fitting on low resolving power mass spectra from the ToF-ACSM [PDF]
The applicability, methods and limitations of constrained peak fitting on mass spectra of low mass resolving power (m∕Δm50 ∼ 500) recorded with a time-of-flight aerosol chemical speciation monitor (ToF-ACSM) are explored. Calibration measurements as well

Development of four-dimensional variational assimilation system based on the GRAPES–CUACE adjoint model (GRAPES–CUACE-4D-Var V1.0) and its application in emission inversion [PDF]
In this study, a four-dimensional variational (4D-Var) data assimilation system was developed based on the GRAPES–CUACE (Global/Regional Assimilation and PrEdiction System – CMA Unified Atmospheric Chemistry Environmental Forecasting System) atmospheric ...

Sesquiterpenes and oxygenated sesquiterpenes dominate the VOC (C5–C20) emissions of downy birches [PDF]
Biogenic volatile organic compounds (BVOCs) emitted by the forests are known to have strong impacts in the atmosphere. However, lots of missing reactivity is found, especially in the forest air.

Atmospheric composition in the European Arctic and 30 years of the Zeppelin Observatory, Ny-Ålesund
. The Zeppelin Observatory (78.90° N, 11.88° E) is located on the Zeppelin Mountain at 472 m above sea level on Spitsbergen, the largest island of the Svalbard archipelago. Established in 1989, the observatory is part of the “Ny-Ålesund Research Station”

Atmospheric composition and structure of HD209458b [PDF]
AbstractTransiting planets like HD209458b offer a unique opportunity to scrutinize their atmospheric composition and structure. Transit spectroscopy probes the transition region between the day and night sides, called the limb. We present a re-analysis of existing HST/STIS transmission spectra of HD209458b's atmosphere.

THE COMPOSITION OF PLANETARY ATMOSPHERES [PDF]
During the past 10 years, great progress has been made in our knowledge of the planetary atmospheres, mainly due to the recent development of infrared techniques and space astronomy.

Global Climate and Atmospheric Composition of the Ultra-hot Jupiter WASP-103b from HST and Spitzer Phase Curve Observations [PDF]
We present thermal phase curve measurements for the hot Jupiter WASP-103b observed with Hubble/WFC3 and Spitzer/IRAC. The phase curves have large amplitudes and negligible hotspot offsets, indicative of poor heat redistribution to the nightside.

Observations of relative humidity effects on aerosol light scattering in the Yangtze River Delta of China [PDF]
Scattering of solar radiation by aerosol particles is highly dependent on relative humidity (RH) as hygroscopic particles take up water with increasing RH.
