Terpenoid and carbonyl emissions from Norway spruce in Finland during the growing season [PDF]
We present spring and summer volatile organic compound (VOC) emission rate measurements from Norway spruce (Picea abies L. Karst) growing in a boreal forest in southern Finland.

An extensive data set for in situ microphysical characterization of low-level clouds in a Finnish sub-Arctic site [PDF]
Continuous, semi-long-term, ground-based in situ cloud measurements were conducted during eight Pallas Cloud Experiments (PaCEs) held in autumn between 2004 and 2019.

The Chemical Composition of the Atmosphere of Venus [PDF]
The chemical composition sensors on the Venera-4, -5, and -6 spacecraft are described. The mixing ratio by volume of carbon dioxide is determined to be 97 (+3, −4)%; nitrogen, less than 2%, oxygen, less than about 0.1%; and water vapor at the 25 °C temperature level, on the order of 10 mg/l, an amount large enough to imply that the clouds of Venus are ...

Methane exchange at the peatland forest floor – automatic chamber system exposes the dynamics of small fluxes [PDF]
We measured methane (CH4) exchange rates with automatic chambers at the forest floor of a nutrient-rich drained peatland in 2011–2013. The fen, located in southern Finland, was drained for forestry in 1969 and the tree stand is now a mixture of Scots ...

Atmospheric conditions and composition that influence PM2.5 oxidative potential in Beijing, China
Epidemiological studies have consistently linked exposure to PM2.5 with adverse health effects. The oxidative potential (OP) of aerosol particles has been widely suggested as a measure of their potential toxicity.

A Lower Limit of Atmospheric Pressure on Early Mars Inferred from Nitrogen and Argon Isotopic Compositions [PDF]
We examine the history of the loss and replenishment of the Martian atmosphere using elemental and isotopic compositions of nitrogen and noble gases. The evolution of the atmosphere is calculated by taking into consideration various processes: impact erosion and replenishment by asteroids and comets, atmospheric escape induced by solar radiation and ...

Compositions of Hot Super-Earth Atmospheres: exploring Kepler Candidates [PDF]
This paper outlines a simple approach to evaluate the atmospheric composition of hot rocky planets by assuming different types of planetary composition and using corresponding model calculations. To explore hot atmospheres above 1000 K, we model the vaporization of silicate magma and estimate the range of atmospheric compositions according to the ...
