      Evangeliou, Nikolaos; Balkanski, Yves; Eckhardt, Sabine; Cozic, Anne; Van Damme, Martin; Coheur, Pierre-François; Clarisse, Lieven; Shephard, Mark W.; Cady-Pereira, Karen; Hauglustaine, Didier (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)
      In recent years, ammonia emissions have been continuously increasing, being almost 4 times higher than in the 20th century. Although an important species, as its use as a fertilizer sustains human living, ammonia has major ...
    • Decreasing trends of ammonia emissions over Europe seen from remote sensing and inverse modelling 

      Tichý, Ondřej; Eckhardt, Sabine; Balkanski, Yves; Hauglustaine, Didier; Evangeliou, Nikolaos (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)
      Ammonia (NH3), a significant precursor of particulate matter, affects not only biodiversity, ecosystems, and soil acidification but also climate and human health. In addition, its concentrations are constantly rising due ...
    • Evaluation and Global-Scale Observation of Nitrous Oxide from IASI on Metop-A 

      Chalinel, Rémi; Attié, Jean-Luc; Ricaud, Philippe; Vidot, Jérôme; Kangah, Yannick; Hauglustaine, Didier; Thompson, Rona Louise (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)
      Nitrous oxide (N2O) is a greenhouse gas difficult to estimate by satellite because of its weak spectral signature in the infra-red band and its low variability in the troposphere. Nevertheless, this study presents the ...
    • Global agricultural ammonia emissions simulated with the ORCHIDEE land surface mode 

      Beaudor, Maureen; Vuichard, Nicolas; Lathière, Juliette; Evangeliou, Nikolaos; Van Damme, Martin; Clarisse, Lieven; Hauglustaine, Didier (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)
      Ammonia (NH3) is an important atmospheric constituent. It plays a role in air quality and climate through the formation of ammonium sulfate and ammonium nitrate particles. It has also an impact on ecosystems through ...
