A new study investigates the transport and removal processes of tropospheric ozone trace gas precursors in thunderstorms. Numerical simulations were performed to understand storm processes affecting atmospheric gases with different solubilities. doi.org/10.1029/2022JD037107 #atmosphericchemistry

Hi again #AtmosphericChemistry folks, fyi this summer in Berkeley, California is the 13th International Conference on Carbonaceous Particles in the Atmosphere (ICCPA).

https://iccpa.lbl.gov/

Hey fellow #AirQuality and #AtmosphericChemistry folks, consider attending or presenting at the #Meteorology and #Climate #Modeling for #AirQuality conference.

This may help shed some daylight on why methane concentration is increasing faster than expected. Part of the explanation?

The OH radical is a key part of our atmospheric inventory, with ignorance of amount creating wider error bars than necessary in various prognostications. Should be on our dashboard, quantified. Here's a start! (preprint)

Interesting new study in @nature today - the observed #Methane spike in the atmosphere last year seems to relate to 2 elements:
1) - increased emissions from wetlands in a warmer + wetter climate (yes that's a positive feedback)
2) - reduction of NOx (Nitrogen pollution from cars + industry) due to #COVID19 lockdowns reduced the rate at which methane is removed from the atmosphere by chemistry.

Something very useful IMHO to improve our understanding of atmospheric-ocean processes in the marine environment: robotic marine platforms.

A neat bit for trivia for #atmoschem folks!
Some of us use data from SCIAMACHY (the SCanning Imaging Absorption spectroMeter for Atmospheric CHartographY), which is on-board the Envisat satellite.
SCIAMACHY is actually a real word…
Sciamachy, noun, definition: having an argument or a fight with an imaginary opponent

For a more popular science explanation on how we simulate #past #climate ( #paleoclimate ) at #nasa #nasagiss , read my blog post on it.

Click around to see more of an awesome collaboration between scientists of many kinds: #historians #climatescientists #atmosphericchemistry paleoclimate #geochemists #hydrologists and more.

Also, the Nile-O-Meter was pretty awesome.

@arwhitehill @rachelOB1 @H_Herrmann24 @subu_caps So in my last post I tried to hashtag certain terms like #ChemicalEngineering and #AtmosphericChemistry wasn't able to (they didn't become links)... I see that I can here 🤔. Any ideas why?

Just found out this Mastodon server can combine multiple hashtags into one pinned column! I can see posts from other servers, just not as many as I thought there would be, though. #airquality #airpollution #atmoschem #atmosphericscience #atmosphericchemistry

Hi atmospheric and air quality folks! A bunch of us are expanding over here to Mastodon. To save time finding everyone's handle, I've put together a google form so we can add our info. Please boost!
