Predictions of the atmospheric composition of GJ 1132b [PDF]
, 2016 GJ 1132 b is a nearby Earth-sized exoplanet transiting an M dwarf, and is amongst the most highly characterizable small exoplanets currently known. In this paper we study the interaction of a magma ocean with a water-rich atmosphere on GJ 1132b and ...

The local ship speed reduction effect on black carbon emissions measured at a remote marine station [PDF]
Atmospheric Chemistry and PhysicsSpeed restrictions for ships have been introduced locally to reduce the waves and turbulence causing erosion, and safety hazards, and to mitigate the air and underwater noise emissions. Ship speed restrictions could be used to minimize the climate impact

PLAM – a meteorological pollution index for air quality and its applications in fog-haze forecasts in North China [PDF]
Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics, 2016 Using surface meteorological observation and high-resolution emission data, this paper discusses the application of the PLAM/h index (Parameter Linking Air-quality to Meteorological conditions/haze) in the prediction of large-scale low visibility and ...

Evolution of the Earth's Atmosphere during Late Veneer Accretion [PDF]
, 2020 Recent advances in our understanding of the dynamical history of the Solar system have altered the inferred bombardment history of the Earth during accretion of the Late Veneer, after the Moon-forming impact. We investigate how the bombardment by planetesimals left-over from the terrestrial planet region after terrestrial planet formation, as well as ...

Modelling Non-Condensing Compositional Convection for Applications to Super-Earth and Sub-Neptune Atmospheres [PDF]
arXiv, 2023 Compositional convection is atmospheric mixing driven by density variations caused by compositional gradients. Previous studies have suggested that compositional gradients of atmospheric trace species within planetary atmospheres can impact convection and the final atmospheric temperature profile.

Properties of Sub-Neptune Atmospheres: TOI-270 System [PDF]
, 2020 We investigate the potential for the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) to detect and characterize the atmospheres of the sub-Neptunian exoplanets in the TOI-270 system. Sub-Neptunes are considered more likely to be water worlds than gas dwarfs. We model their atmospheres using three atmospheric compositions - two examples of hydrogen-dominated ...
