G.; Rodriguez-Caballero, EmilioORCIDiD; Zannoni, NoraORCIDiD; Alves, Rodrigo P.ORCIDiD; Wolff, Stefan; Tsokankunku, AnywhereORCIDiD; Aptroot, André; de Oliveira Sá, Marta; de Araújo, Alessandro C.; Sörgel, MatthiasORCIDiD; de Oliveira, Sylvia Mota; Weber, BettinaORCIDiD; Williams, JonathanORCIDiD (Communications Earth & Environment, 2021-12-21)
      Cryptogamic organisms such as bryophytes and lichens cover most surfaces within tropical forests, yet their impact on the emission of biogenic volatile organic compounds is unknown. These compounds can strongly influence ...
    • Direct measurements of atomic oxygen in the mesosphere and lower thermosphere using terahertz heterodyne spectroscopy 

      Richter, Heiko; Buchbender, ChristofORCIDiD; Güsten, Rolf; Higgins, Ronan; Klein, Bernd; Stutzki, Jürgen; Wiesemeyer, Helmut; Hübers, Heinz-WilhelmORCIDiD (Communications Earth & Environment, 2021-01-26)
      Atomic oxygen is a main component of the mesosphere and lower thermosphere of the Earth, where it governs photochemistry and energy balance and is a tracer for dynamical motions. However, its concentration is extremely ...
    • Process-oriented analysis of aircraft soot-cirrus interactions constrains the climate impact of aviation 

      Kärcher, BerndORCIDiD; Mahrt, FabianORCIDiD; Marcolli, ClaudiaORCIDiD (Communications Earth & Environment, 2021-06-17)
      Fully accounting for the climate impact of aviation requires a process-level understanding of the impact of aircraft soot particle emissions on the formation of ice clouds. Assessing this impact with the help of global ...
    • The Toba supervolcano eruption caused severe tropical stratospheric ozone depletion 

      Osipov, SergeyORCIDiD; Stenchikov, GeorgiyORCIDiD; Tsigaridis, KostasORCIDiD; LeGrande, Allegra N.; Bauer, Susanne E.; Fnais, Mohammed; Lelieveld, JosORCIDiD (Communications Earth & Environment, 2021-04-12)
      Supervolcano eruptions have occurred throughout Earth’s history and have major environmental impacts. These impacts are mostly associated with the attenuation of visible sunlight by stratospheric sulfate aerosols, which ...
