Constraining the atmospheric limb of the plastic cycle

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 2021
Significance Microplastic particles and fibers generated from the breakdown of mismanaged waste are now so prevalent that they cycle through the earth in a manner akin to global biogeochemical cycles. In modeling the atmospheric limb of the plastic cycle,

Fumigant emission reductions with TIF warrant regulatory changes

California Agriculture, 2013
With methyl bromide's phase-out, most growers have turned to alternative fumigants, particularly 1,3-dichloropropene (1,3-D) and chloropicrin. These alternatives are tightly regulated because they are classified as toxic air contaminants and volatile ...

Recent Progress in Atmospheric Chemistry Research in China: Establishing a Theoretical Framework for the “Air Pollution Complex”

Advances in Atmospheric Sciences, 2023
Atmospheric chemistry research has been growing rapidly in China in the last 25 years since the concept of the “air pollution complex” was first proposed by Professor Xiaoyan TANG in 1997.

Positive feedback to regional climate enhances African wildfires

iScience, 2023
Summary: Regional climate strongly regulates the occurrence of wildfires partly because drying of fuel load increases fires. The large amounts of aerosols released by wildfires can also strongly affect regional climate.

Stochastic Super-Resolution for Downscaling Time-Evolving Atmospheric Fields With a Generative Adversarial Network [PDF]

IEEE Transactions on Geoscience and Remote Sensing, 2020
Generative adversarial networks (GANs) have been recently adopted for super-resolution, an application closely related to what is referred to as “downscaling” in the atmospheric sciences: improving the spatial resolution of low-resolution images.

Climate warming and summer monsoon breaks drive compound dry and hot extremes in India

iScience, 2022
Summary: Considering the severe impacts of compound dry and hot extremes, we examine the primary drivers of CDHEs during the summer monsoon in India. Using ERA5 reanalysis, we show that most of the CDHEs in India occur during the droughts caused by the ...
