Savannah and Boreal Biomass Burning as a Source for Cloud Condensation Nuclei

Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, Volume 131, Issue 5, 16 March 2026.
Abstract Aerosol particles emitted in wildfires can contribute to radiative forcing via aerosol‐cloud interactions and by directly interacting with solar radiation. Wildfire emissions increase the concentration of cloud condensation nuclei (CCN) in the atmosphere and thus affect cloud properties (e.g., cloud brightness).

Urban and Power Plant NOx Emissions in Sub‐Saharan Africa Inferred From TROPOMI

Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, Volume 131, Issue 4, 28 February 2026.
Abstract Nitrogen oxides (NOx) emissions are increasing rapidly in Sub‐Saharan Africa, affecting local air quality. Outside South Africa, most hotspots are relatively small, posing a challenge for traditional top‐down inversions. We tailor an existing top‐down wind rotation and Gaussian plume fit inversion to suit the relatively small NOx hotspots for ...
