PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.The effect of air pollution on plants is still underexplored, especially belowground. We used a field facility that released diesel exhaust and ozone at concentrations equivalent to those near a busy road in Reading, UK, to measure belowground gas exchange of Scots pine together with feeding by large pine weevils, a major pest of conifers.

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.We compared two island populations of Bethencourtia palmensis and their culturable endophytic fungi, revealing distinct plant chemistries and a higher biopesticidal potential in the endophytic fungi from La Palma population along with high potential for the discovery of novel compounds.

Analysis of the fractional scattering contribution in the forward peak for multicomponent systems
Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.Derivation and justification of mixing rules for multicomponent systems. A novel formulation of the delta‐Eddington scaling rule. Analytical guidance for comparing radiative transfer results. Abstract The widely used δ‐Eddington approximation improves the accuracy of radiative transfer calculations by representing the fraction of scattering into the ...

Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.An offline methodology is applied to estimate parameters of a convective gravity‐wave scheme using momentum flux (MF) observations from constant‐level balloons (left panels: pdfs of east and west MFs in green from observations and black from EnKF). The approach integrates an ensemble Kalman filter with an expectation‐maximization algorithm and permits ...

Dynamics and thermodynamics of the fast and slow Madden–Julian Oscillation
Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.The results of this study highlight the MJO as a complex phenomenon, the behavior of which is driven by an interplay of thermodynamic and dynamic processes. The MJO's distinct speeds are controlled by different mechanisms: slow MJOs propagate eastward primarily via horizontal moisture advection, fast MJOs by vertical moisture advection.

Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.Mediterranean tropical‐like cyclones show a clear seasonality, with September cyclones exhibiting the deepest convection and Ianos representing the most extreme case. While one or more dry intrusions are typically detected during the cyclone life cycle, Ianos instead features two much weaker descending airflows.

In this experiment, we explored the effect that freeze drying might have on organic compounds present in a green granny smith apple. We boiled the apple with methylene chloride and then cooled the mixture to reveal an organic layer and an inorganic layer.

A Statistical Evaluation of Atmosphere-Ocean General Circulation Models: Complexity vs. Simplicity [PDF]
The principal tools used to model future climate change are General Circulation Models which are deterministic high resolution bottom-up models of the global atmosphere-ocean system that require large amounts of supercomputer time to generate results ...

Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.This study investigates the thermodynamic and microphysical characteristics of updrafts and downdrafts of tropical deep convective anvil clouds using in situ measurements. We found that parts of the downdrafts are in ice supersaturation in these clouds.
