Arctic Tropospheric Ozone Trends
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Observed trends in tropospheric ozone, an important air pollutant and short-lived climate forcer (SLCF), are estimated using available surface and ozonesonde profile data for 1993–2019, using a coherent methodology, and ... -
Atlantic Multidecadal Oscillation modulates the impacts of Arctic sea ice decline
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018) -
Black Carbon Emission Reduction Due to COVID-19 Lockdown in China
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)During the Lunar New Year Holiday of 2020, China implemented an unprecedented lockdown to fight the COVID-19 outbreak, which strongly affected the anthropogenic emissions. We utilized elemental carbon observations (equivalent ... -
Cadmium pollution from zinc‐smelters up to four‐fold higher than expected in western Europe in the 1980s as revealed by alpine ice
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Estimates of past emission inventories suggest that toxic heavy metal pollution in Europe was highest in the mid‐1970s for lead and in the mid‐1960s for cadmium, but these previous estimates have not been compared to ... -
Comparing GOSAT observations of localized CO2 enhancements by large emitters with inventory-based estimates.
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2016) -
Effect of Long-Range Transported Fire Aerosols on Cloud Condensation Nuclei Concentrations and Cloud Properties at High Latitudes
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2024)Active vegetation fires in south-eastern (SE) Europe resulted in a notable increase in the number concentration of aerosols and cloud condensation nuclei (CCN) particles at two high latitude locations—the SMEAR IV station ... -
Extending the long-term record of volcanic SO2 emissions with the Ozone Mapping and Profiler Suite nadir mapper
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2015) -
Extensive release of methane from Arctic seabed west of Svalbard during summer 2014 does not influence the atmosphere
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2016) -
Extraordinary halocarbon emissions initiated by the 2011 Tohoku earthquake
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2015) -
Growth in stratospheric chlorine from short-lived chemicals not controlled by the Montreal Protocol
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2015) -
Large Circulation Patterns Strongly Modulate Long-Term Variability of Arctic Black Carbon Levels and Areas of Origin
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Black Carbon (BC) aerosol is a major climate forcer in the Arctic. Here, we present 15 years (2001–2015) of surface observations of the aerosol absorption coefficient babs (corresponding to Equivalent BC), obtained at the ... -
Lead and Antimony in Basal Ice From Col du Dome (French Alps) Dated With Radiocarbon: A Record of Pollution During Antiquity
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019) -
Magnitude and Uncertainty of Nitrous Oxide Emissions From North America Based on Bottom-Up and Top-Down Approaches: Informing Future Research and National Inventories
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)We synthesized N2O emissions over North America using 17 bottom-up (BU) estimates from 1980–2016 and five top-down (TD) estimates from 1998 to 2016. The BU-based total emission shows a slight increase owing to U.S. ... -
Mineral dust instantaneous radiative forcing in the Arctic
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018) -
Observations of gravity wave forcing of the mesopause region during the January 2013 major Sudden Stratospheric Warming
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2014) -
Rapid and highly variable warming of lake surface waters around the globe

Record‐Breaking Increases in Arctic Solar Ultraviolet Radiation Caused by Exceptionally Large Ozone Depletion in 2020
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Measurements of solar ultraviolet radiation (UVR) performed between January and June 2020 at 10 Arctic and subarctic locations are compared with historical observations. Differences between 2020 and prior years are also ... -

Thallium Pollution in Europe Over the Twentieth Century Recorded in Alpine Ice: Contributions From Coal Burning and Cement Production
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Emission inventories indicate that thallium, a highly toxic metal, is emitted during coal burning and cement production. These estimates have been established only for the 1980s and 1990s but up to now they have not been ...
