Atmospheric composition forecasting in Europe [PDF]
Abstract. The atmospheric composition is a societal issue and, following new European directives, its forecast is now recommended to quantify the air quality. It concerns both gaseous and particles species, identified as potential problems for health. In Europe, numerical systems providing daily air quality forecasts are numerous and, mostly, operated ...

Radiative forcing of climate change from the Copernicus reanalysis of atmospheric composition
. Radiative forcing provides an important basis for understanding and predicting global climate changes, but its quantification has historically been done independently for different forcing agents, has involved observations to varying degrees, and ...

Ultrafine particles produced by diesel-powered vehicles in underground mines are largely unaccounted for in mass-based air quality metrics. The Lung Deposited Surface Area concentration (LDSA) is an alternative to describe the harmfulness of particles ...

Laboratory evaluation of particle-size selectivity of optical low-cost particulate matter sensors [PDF]
Low-cost particulate matter (PM) sensors have been under investigation as it has been hypothesized that the use of low-cost and easy-to-use sensors could allow cost-efficient extension of the currently sparse measurement coverage.

The Association between Vessel Departures and Air Pollution in Helsinki Port Area 2016–2021
European ports are struggling to install enough shore power connections to follow the European Commission initiative, which insists ships that lie alongside to be plugged in and have their auxiliary engines off in EU ports by 2030.

Effects of temperature and salinity on bubble-bursting aerosol formation simulated with a bubble-generating chamber [PDF]
A new bubble-generating glass chamber with an extensive set of aerosol production experiments is presented. Compared to the experiments described in the literature since the ground-setting works of Edward C. Monahan et al.

Composition of Titan's Atmosphere [PDF]
As a result of the 13-year exploration of the Saturn system by the Cassini-Huygens mission (2004–17), there has been a revolution in our understanding of Titan, Saturn's largest satellite. Titan's atmosphere shows the most complex chemistry in the solar system.

Cleaner fuels for ships provide public health benefits with climate tradeoffs
Aerosol pollution from shipping contributes to cooling but also leads to premature mortality and morbidity. Here the authors combine emission inventories, atmospheric models and health risk functions to show how cleaner marine fuels will reduce premature

Inverse modeling of black carbon emissions over China using ensemble data assimilation [PDF]
Emissions inventories of black carbon (BC), which are traditionally constructed using a bottom-up approach based on activity data and emissions factors, are considered to contain a large level of uncertainty.
