Here, we present a reconstruction of Holocene global volcanism based on the anomalies in Hg concentrations, accumulation fluxes, and Hg/C ratios in three high-resolution peat profiles spanning Eurasia. Our reconstruction reveals that the two Tibetan peat profiles recorded 33 major explosive volcanic eruptions (with 11 eruptions being synchronously detected), which correspond with a French Pyrenees peat record and sulfate anomalies in polar ice cores. Additionally, the major explosive volcanic eruptions recorded in the TP peat profiles coincided with abrupt decreases in solar irradiance during the Holocene, suggesting these eruptions might have had a greater global climate impact. Our results suggest the atmospheric transport of volcanic Hg within the Northern Hemisphere and underscore the significant role played by major explosive volcanic eruptions in precipitating abrupt global climate and environmental changes during the Holocene. This study has implications for deciphering the configuration of volcanic eruption seasons, locations, and magnitudes during the Holocene and aligning the chronology of peat deposits with ice cores.","PeriodicalId":15986,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres","volume":"129 22","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.8,"publicationDate":"2024-11-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142642162","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study investigates the propagation diversity of the 20–40-day summer precipitation oscillation in MLYR and its underlying mechanism. The 20–40-day oscillation events manifest as three types: northward propagation, southward propagation, and local oscillation. For northward and southward events, the propagation of precipitation is accompanied by the movement of 20–40-day low-frequency cyclonic vortices in the lower troposphere. Further investigation into the mechanism of anomalous vorticity propagation accompanying low-frequency vortices reveals that positive relative vorticity advection in the north of the vortex facilitates its northward propagation. Moreover, the positive advection is primarily reliant on the background southerly winds to transport the low-frequency vorticity. Diabatic heating dominates the southward propagation of low-frequency precipitation. The center of the latent heating is located in the south of the low-frequency vortex, which steers its southward migration. Furthermore, the uneven spatial distribution of latent heating across the vortex may be attributed to the non-uniform distribution of mean humidity. Based on the above results, sensitivity experiments are conducted using a regional climate model (RegCM4.6). The results demonstrate that when the southerly winds are increased (decreased) or the specific humidity gradient is decreased (increased), the southward (northward) events weaken and disappear, or transitioned into local oscillations or northward (southward) events. This further validates the physical processes through which the basic flow and humidity inhomogeneities affect the meridional propagation of the 20–40-day oscillations of precipitation.","PeriodicalId":15986,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres","volume":"129 22","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.8,"publicationDate":"2024-11-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142642165","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Daytime BSOA tracer levels at the foot were consistent with nighttime levels, whereas the summit showed significantly higher concentrations at night. Nighttime correlations between O₃ and BSOA tracers at the summit suggest that high O₃ levels stimulate BSOA formation. Conversely, a negative correlation between O₃ and isoprene derived SOA (SOAI) tracers at the foot indicates that other oxidants may also influence SOAI formation. BSOA tracer concentrations rose significantly with the arrival of anthropogenic pollutants (e.g., SO₂ and NO₂), indicating that anthropogenic pollution amplifies BSOA formation by enhancing aerosol acidity (pH < 3). This amplification effect could be mitigated by the reduction of aerosol acidity due to increased NH₃ and relative humidity (RH). Our findings provide valuable insights into the interactions between anthropogenic and biogenic emissions on SOA formation and vertical distribution in forests surrounding megacities.","PeriodicalId":15986,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres","volume":"129 22","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.8,"publicationDate":"2024-11-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142642198","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, recent advancements in analytical instruments allow more vapor isotopic measurements that have challenged this assumption. To enhance our understanding of rain-vapor interactions below cloud base in tropical regions, we established an automated system to measure rain and vapor isotopes simultaneously and continuously in real time at minute intervals in Singapore. Among 324 rain events monitored from 2016 to 2019, 81% exhibited a substantial departure of rain and vapor isotopes from the expected equilibrium. This departure suggests that raindrop evaporation plays a larger role in determining their isotopes. The conclusion is supported by the generally lower slopes of the local meteoric water line. Seasonal variations in rain event characteristics indicate changing influences of rain-vapor interactions: during monsoons, more frequent heavy rainfall maintains relatively high humidity below cloud base, favoring rain-vapor isotopic equilibrium, whereas during inter-monsoons, more light rain events lead to pronounced rain evaporation and larger isotopic differences. Furthermore, rain-vapor interactions below cloud base significantly modulated their isotope evolution during individual events. As events progressed, reduced humidity favored evaporation, increasing rain isotope values and decreasing its d-excess, whereas vapor isotope values decreased and its d-excess increased. Our study introduces a new approach to capturing real-time high-resolution rain and vapor isotopes at minute intervals to understand the dynamics of rain-vapor interactions below cloud base. Findings underscore the crucial role of these interactions in influencing rain and vapor isotopes during tropical rain events.","PeriodicalId":15986,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres","volume":"129 22","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.8,"publicationDate":"2024-11-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142641733","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this study, we analyzed hourly stable isotopic compositions in water vapor (δ18Ov and d-excessv) during heavy rainfall events in the summer monsoon season (June to September) from 2013 to 2023 in Nanjing, eastern China. These data were extracted from the longest data set of high-resolution and continuous in situ observations of water vapor isotopes globally. Based on these data, we identified four evolution patterns of δ18Ov during heavy rainfall events, corresponding to different weather systems: slow-declining (tropical cyclone interacting with mid- and high-latitude system), W-shaped (tropical cyclone), U-shaped (cold vortex system), and inclined L-shaped (upper-level trough system). The isotopic variations suggest that heavy rainfall events in eastern China were mainly sustained by moisture from adjacent oceans (including the South China Sea and the East China Sea) and terrestrial environment rather than from the distant Indian Ocean as previously suggested. In addition, for some heavy rainfall events with an intermittent period, the nearby oceanic moisture transport alters before and after the intermittent period due to an intensity change or overall transition of low-level weather systems. This study serves as a benchmark for tracing heavy rainfall processes in East Asia using high-resolution water vapor isotopes.","PeriodicalId":15986,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres","volume":"129 22","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.8,"publicationDate":"2024-11-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142641732","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Here, we investigate the concentrations and isotopic compositions of gaseous elemental mercury (GEM) at four rural sites in the TP and three urban sites surrounding the TP to quantify the sources of GEM in the TP. GEM concentrations in the surrounding cities (site-specific means: 2.36–9.12 ng m−3) were highly elevated mainly due to strong local anthropogenic emissions as indicated by their negative δ202Hg and near zero Δ199Hg and Δ200Hg signatures. GEM isotopes indicate that GEM pollution in the TP, typically observed during the summer monsoon and the pre-monsoon, were mainly caused by trans-boundary transport of anthropogenic Hg from surroundings. Using an Hg isotope mixing model, we estimate that exogenous anthropogenic emissions on average contributed 26 ± 5% (1sd) to the GEM in the TP. Further analysis of the transport of anthropogenic Hg emissions based on the backward trajectory and gridded anthropogenic Hg emissions suggests that 16 ± 9% and 6 ± 13% of the GEM in the TP were derived from anthropogenic sources in South Asia and China, respectively. Our study suggests that anthropogenic Hg emissions in South Asia could be effectively transported to the TP across the Himalayan range. Future studies are needed to better assess the role of rapidly increasing anthropogenic Hg emissions in South Asia on the regional to global scale atmospheric Hg cycling.","PeriodicalId":15986,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres","volume":"129 21","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.8,"publicationDate":"2024-11-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142641591","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It is critical to reasonably simulate the hydrological cycle over the TP in order to assess future climate risks to agriculture, water resources and ecosystem services. To address the chronic wet biases over the TP in state-of-the-art climate models, we have compared 12 high-resolution (HR) climate models (25–50 km) to their corresponding low-resolution versions (100–200 km) with respect to the 1979–2014 climatology. It is found that the HR models consistently reduce about half of the wet biases over the TP, mainly from better resolved orography. The wet biases are reduced by 41% over the northern and western TP, mainly contributed by decreased frequency of light precipitation (0.1–10 mm day−1), which is attributed to reduced evaporation because of weakened surface wind by raised orography. The most significant reduction of biases (53%) rising from decreased frequency of mid-heavy precipitation (10–50 mm day−1), appears over the southern and eastern TP, on the leeside of elevated orography where steeper orography enhances rain shadow effect by stronger downward motion along the sharper slope, while partly compensated by air column convergence due to vertical stretching of the downward flow for potential vorticity conservation. This study highlights the importance of surface processes and resolving complex orography in simulating precipitation and large-scale hydrology around the TP which potentially benefits the future hydrological projection.","PeriodicalId":15986,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres","volume":"129 21","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.8,"publicationDate":"2024-11-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142641590","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We also quantify contributions of different radiative feedback mechanisms to AA based on short-term climate variability in reanalysis and model data using the Kernel-Gregory approach.

Resulting brighter clouds and increased cloudiness could enhance both indirect aerosol effects (IAE). These stratus findings are opposite of analogous measurements in two cumulus cloud projects, which showed bimodal CCN associated with fewer larger droplets more broadly distributed and with more drizzle than clouds associated with unimodal CCN. Resulting reduced cumulus brightness and cloudiness could reduce both IAE. Physics of Stratocumulus Tops (POST) flights in air masses with higher CCN concentrations, NCCN, showed more extremes of the stratus characteristics. However, POST flights with lower NCCN showed opposite droplet characteristics similar to the cumulus clouds, yet still showed less drizzle in clouds associated with bimodal CCN, but not as much less as the flights with higher NCCN. Since all MASE clouds were in polluted air masses, while the two cumulus projects were in clean air masses we deduce from these four projects that both the dynamic stratus/cumulus differences (vertical wind) and NCCN are responsible for the microphysics and drizzle differences among these projects. This is because the clean POST characteristics are a hybrid between MASE/POST high NCCN and the two cumulus projects.","PeriodicalId":15986,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres","volume":"129 21","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.8,"publicationDate":"2024-11-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1029/2024JD041965","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142641150","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
