    • A comprehensive evaluation of the use of Lagrangian particle dispersion models for inverse modeling of greenhouse gas emissions 

      Vojta, Martin; Plach, Andreas; Thompson, Rona Louise; Stohl, Andreas (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)
      Using the example of sulfur hexafluoride (SF6), we investigate the use of Lagrangian particle dispersion models (LPDMs) for inverse modeling of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and explore the limitations of this approach. ...

    • Consistent histories of anthropogenic western European air pollution preserved in different Alpine ice cores 

      Eichler, Anja; Legrand, Michel; Jenk, Theo M.; Preunkert, Susanne; Andersson, Camilla; Eckhardt, Sabine; Engardt, Magnuz; Plach, Andreas; Schwikowski, Margit (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)
      Individual high-Alpine ice cores have been proven to contain a well-preserved history of past anthropogenic air pollution in western Europe. The question of how representative one ice core is with respect to the reconstruction ...

    • FLEXPART version 11: improved accuracy, efficiency, and flexibility 

      Bakels, Lucie; Tatsii, Daria; Tipka, Anne; Thompson, Rona Louise; Dütsch, Marina; Blaschek, Michael; Seibert, Petra; Baier, Katharina; Bucci, Silvia; Cassiani, Massimo; Eckhardt, Sabine; Zwaaftink, Christine Groot; Henne, Stephan; Kaufmann, Pirmin; Lechner, Vincent; Maurer, Christian; Mulder, Marie D.; Pisso, Ignacio; Plach, Andreas; Subramanian, Rakesh; Vojta, Martin; Stohl, Andreas (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2024)
      Numerical methods and simulation codes are essential for the advancement of our understanding of complex atmospheric processes. As technology and computer hardware continue to evolve, the development of sophisticated code ...

    • A global re-analysis of regionally resolved emissions and atmospheric mole fractions of SF6 for the period 2005–2021 

      Vojta, Martin; Plach, Andreas; Annadate, Saurabh; Park, Sunyoung; Lee, Gawon; Purohit, Pallav; Lindl, Florian; Lan, Xin; Mühle, Jens; Thompson, Rona Louise; Stohl, Andreas (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2024)
      We determine the global emission distribution of the potent greenhouse gas sulfur hexafluoride (SF6) for the period 2005–2021 using inverse modelling. The inversion is based on 50 d backward simulations with the Lagrangian ...

    • Holocene black carbon in New Zealand lake sediment records 

      Brugger, Sandra O.; McWethy, David B.; Chellman, Nathan J.; Prebble, Matiu; Courtney Mustaphi, Colin J.; Eckhardt, Sabine; Plach, Andreas; Stohl, Andreas; Wilmshurst, Janet M.; McConnell, Joseph R.; Whitlock, Cathy (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2024)
      Black carbon emitted from incomplete combustion of biomass and fossil fuel burning is an important aerosol; however, available long-term black carbon data are limited to remote polar and high-alpine ice cores from few ...

    • Revised historical Northern Hemisphere black carbon emissions based on inverse modeling of ice core records 

      Eckhardt, Sabine; Pisso, Ignacio; Evangeliou, Nikolaos; Zwaaftink, Christine Groot; Plach, Andreas; McConnell, Joseph R.; Sigl, Michael; Ruppel, Meri; Zdanowicz, Christian; Lim, Saehee; Chellman, Nathan J; Opel, Thomas; Meyer, Hanno; Steffensen, Jørgen Peder; Schwikowski, Margit; Stohl, Andreas (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)
      Black carbon emitted by incomplete combustion of fossil fuels and biomass has a net warming effect in the atmosphere and reduces the albedo when deposited on ice and snow; accurate knowledge of past emissions is essential ...

    • Thallium Pollution in Europe Over the Twentieth Century Recorded in Alpine Ice: Contributions From Coal Burning and Cement Production 

      Legrand, Michel; McConnell, Joseph R.; Preunkert, Susanne; Bergametti, Gilles; Chellman, Nathan J; Desboeufs, Karine; Stohl, Andreas; Eckhardt, Sabine; Plach, Andreas (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 ...
