Estimation of Atmospheric Path Delays in TerraSAR-X Data using Models vs. Measurements
Spaceborne synthetic aperture radar (SAR) measurements of the Earth’s surface depend on electromagnetic waves that are subject to atmospheric path delays, in turn affecting geolocation accuracy.

GNSS ionospheric TEC and positioning accuracy during intense space and terrestrial weather events in B&H [PDF]
To achieve the high accuracy in GNSS positioning, the various atmospheric effects on GNSS signals need to be mitigated, where the major part present the ionised atmosphere (ionosphere) and the neutral atmosphere (troposphere).

Tropospheric Ozone at Northern Mid-Latitudes: Modeled and Measured Long-Term Changes
In this paper, we investigate why current state-of-the-art chemistry-climate models underestimate the tropospheric ozone increase from the 1950s to the 1990s by approximately 50%.

CARIBIC observations of gaseous mercury in the upper troposphere and lower stratosphere
A unique set of gaseous mercury measurements in the upper troposphere and lower stratosphere (UT/LS) has been obtained during the monthly CARIBIC (www.caribic-atmospheric.com) flights since May 2005.

Tropospheric amplification of stratosphere–troposphere coupling
Abstract During northern winter the stratospheric polar vortex is highly variable — even breaking down completely during sudden stratospheric warmings. The strength of the stratospheric polar vortex is observed to be coupled to surface weather, primarily through swings in the phase of the Northern Annular Mode — which is nearly ...

Global perspectives on nitrate aerosol dynamics: a comprehensive sensitivity analysis [PDF]
In recent years, nitrate aerosols have become a dominant component of atmospheric composition, surpassing sulfate in both concentration and climatic impact. However, accurately simulating nitrate remains a major challenge for global models due to complex

Retrieval and Analysis of the Strongest Mixed Layer in the Troposphere
In this article, Thorpe analysis, which often retrieves the characteristics of mixing in the free atmosphere from balloon sounding data, is applied to the data of the Constellation Observing System for Meteorology, Ionosphere and Climate (COSMIC).

Kinetics of the reactions of OH with CO, NO, and NO2 and of HO2 with NO2 in air at 1 atm pressure, room temperature, and tropospheric water vapour concentrations [PDF]
The termolecular reactions of hydroxyl radicals (OH) with carbon monoxide (CO), nitric oxide (NO), and nitrogen dioxides (NO2) and the termolecular reaction of hydroperoxy radicals (HO2) with NO2 greatly impact the atmospheric oxidation efficiency.

The existence of oxalate (COO)2= in tropospheric aerosols and in precipitation has been demonstrated using ion chromatography. Mixing ratios have been observed up to 50 pptv in air samples and 0.3 ppm in precipitation. Correlation of airborne oxalate with airborne nitrate suggests a pollution source.
