Abstract Low‐level clouds over the Southern Ocean (SO) exert a strong influence on surface radiation, yet their representation in reanalyses and climate models remains uncertain. We evaluated cloud properties and surface radiative fluxes from ERA5, MERRA‐2, and the CAM‐ATRAS model using observations obtained over the SO by Japan's R/V Shirase during ...

Predicting Electrically Generated Hydrogen Oxides From Ultraviolet Radiation Emissions
Abstract Electrical discharges such as lightning and corona discharges generate extreme amounts of hydroxyl radical (OH), the atmosphere's most important oxidizer, enough for electrical discharges to be a globally significant source of OH. However, there are few field measurements of electrically generated OH (LOH), hindering attempts to better ...

Abstract As large wildfires become more frequent and severe in North America due to heightened fuel aridity and fire weather conditions driven by anthropogenic climate change, wildfire smoke has an increasingly important influence on air quality. Transported smoke can impact urban boundary layer ozone (O3) directly, via the entrainment of O3 formed in ...

An advanced airborne triple-pulse 2-μm integrated path differential absorption (IPDA) lidar is under development at NASA Langley Research Center that targets both carbon dioxide (CO2) and water vapor (H2O) measurements simultaneously and independently ...

Impact of an extreme storm event on a multiple intertidal barred coastal system
Extreme storms do not necessarily cause extreme coastal erosion. Integrated DGPS surveys and SWAN nearshore wave modelling reveal that Storm Barra's peak coincided with a low‐tide stage, allowing multiple intertidal bars (MITBs) to dissipate incoming wave energy before it reached Dundrum Bay's shoreline, highlighting the combined role of tidal stage ...

A 3D Model of Ryegrass Shoot Architecture, Sward Light Interception and Photosynthesis
Increasing the photosynthetic capacity of perennial ryegrass (Lolium perenne L.) is required to improve the productivity of pastoral farming in temperate regions. A three‐dimensional (3D) model was constructed of the shoot growth of ryegrass based on plant morphological traits such as tiller angle, leaf angle, leaf width, number of tillers per plant ...

Abstract This study presents the migrating and nonmigrating thermospheric neutral mass density tides from the Gravity Recovery And Climate Experiment Follow‐On (GRACE‐FO) observations under solar minimum conditions (year 2020). The observed densities are first mapped to a reference altitude of 500 km using an empirical model (NRLMSIS 2.0) to remove the

Abstract The intensification of wildland fires across portions of Canada in early June 2023 led to significant smoke transport into the eastern United States, resulting in poor air quality and reduced visibility. Significant degradation of air quality was evident from PM2.5 surface measurements as the smoke plume moved southwards, which was confirmed ...

Abstract Pyrocumulonimbus (pyroCb) events, smoke‐infused thunderstorm clouds triggered by intense wildfires under suitable meteorological conditions, are an efficient pathway for transporting smoke to elevated altitudes. In some cases, smoke reaches the upper troposphere and lower stratosphere region, where it can persist for extended time periods and ...

Abstract Stratospheric sulfate aerosol (SSA) is an important part of the Earth's climate system. SSA climate impact is determined in part by particle composition, which has been measured from orbit. The weight percent of sulfuric acid in SSA has been determined from atmospheric infrared transmittance spectra recorded with the Atmospheric Chemistry ...
