The atmosphere of Pluto as observed by New Horizons [PDF]
New Horizons unveils the Pluto system In July 2015, the New Horizons spacecraft flew through the Pluto system at high speed, humanity's first close look at this enigmatic system on the outskirts of our solar system. In a series of papers, the New Horizons team present their analysis of the encounter data downloaded so far: Moore

Atmospheric ions and nucleation: a review of observations [PDF]
Abstract. This review is based on ca. 250 publications, from which 92 published data on the temporal and spatial variation of the concentration of small ions (<1.6 nm in diameter) in the atmosphere, chemical composition, or formation and growth rates of sub-3 nm ions.

Four-dimensional variational data assimilation for inverse modelling of atmospheric methane emissions: method and comparison with synthesis inversion [PDF]
A four-dimensional variational (4D-Var) data assimilation system for inverse modelling of atmospheric methane emissions is presented. The system is based on the TM5 atmospheric transport model.

Inverse modeling of European CH4 emissions: sensitivity to the observational network [PDF]
Inverse modeling is widely employed to provide “top-down” emission estimates using atmospheric measurements. Here, we analyze the dependence of derived CH4 emissions on the sampling frequency and density of the observational surface network, using the ...

Vertical profiles of black carbon measured by a micro-aethalometer in summer in the North China Plain [PDF]
Black carbon (BC) is a dominant absorber in the visible spectrum and a potent factor in climatic effects. Vertical profiles of BC were measured using a micro-aethalometer attached to a tethered balloon during the Vertical Observations of trace Gases ...

Visual Observations of the Solar Atmosphere [PDF]
The spectrohelioscope, an instrument for observing the sun in monochromatic light, has been briefly described in a previous article. (1) The same optical parts employed in the preliminary work are now rigidly mounted in a vertical position in my new Solar Laboratory in Pasadena (a branch of the Mount Wilson Observatory).
