Particle‐Phase Uptake and Chemistry of Highly Oxygenated Organic Molecules (HOMs) From α‐Pinene OH Oxidation
(Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, 2022-08-16)Secondary organic aerosol (SOA) forms a major part of the tropospheric submicron particle mass. Still, the exact formation mechanisms of SOA have remained elusive. It is now admitted that highly oxygenated organic molecules ... -
Spatial and temporal dynamics of water isotopes in the riverine‐marine mixing zone along the German Baltic Sea coast
(Hydrological Processes, 2022-09-28)River estuaries are characterized by mixing processes between freshwater discharge and marine water masses. Since the first are depleted in heavier stable isotopes compared with the marine realm, estuaries often show a ... -
Incomplete Crack Sealing Causes Localization of Fracturing in Hydrothermal Quartz Veins
(Geophysical Research Letters, 2022-08-10)Cyclic microfracturing and epitaxial crystal growth have long been recognized in crack‐seal veins, but an understanding of a single crack‐seal cycle is still missing. Here we present a phase‐field model that includes both ... -
