Fingerprinting the recovery of Antarctic ozone Wang, P., Solomon, S., Santer, B. D., Kinnison, D. E., Fu, Q., et al. (2025). Fingerprinting the recovery of Antarctic ozone. Nature, doi:https://doi.org/10.1038/s41586-025-08640-9 The Antarctic ozone ‘hole’ was discovered in 1985 (ref. 1) and man-made ozone-depleting substances (ODSs) are its primary cause. Following reductions of ODSs under the Montreal Protocol, signs of ozone recovery have been reported, based lar... ACOM Affiliations: MODELING Publication Genre: Article View on OpenSky |

On the timescales of the response of the Brewer‐Dobson Circulation to an abrupt quadrupling of CO2 Calvo, N., García, R. R., Chiodo, G., Marsh, D., Polvani, L. M.. (2025). On the timescales of the response of the Brewer‐Dobson Circulation to an abrupt quadrupling of CO2. Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, doi:https://doi.org/10.1029/2024JD041780 Changes in the Brewer‐Dobson circulation (BDC) in response to increasing CO 2 concentrations can arise from the direct effect of radiative cooling in the stratosphere or the indirect effects induced by warmer sea surface temperatures (SSTs)...

A global dust emission dataset for estimating dust radiative forcings in climate models Leung, D. M., Kok, J. F., Li, L., Lawrence, D. M., Mahowald, N. M., et al. (2025). A global dust emission dataset for estimating dust radiative forcings in climate models. Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics, doi:https://doi.org/10.5194/acp-25-2311-2025 Sedimentary records indicate that atmospheric dust has increased substantially since preindustrial times. However, state-of-the-art global Earth system models (ESMs) are unable to capture this historical increase, posing challenges in asses...

Black carbon reflects extremely efficient aerosol wet removal in monsoonal convective transport Berberich, J., Jacoby, S. A., Michailoudi, G., Schwarz, J. P., Viciani, S., et al. (2025). Black carbon reflects extremely efficient aerosol wet removal in monsoonal convective transport. Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, doi:https://doi.org/10.1029/2024JD042692 Refractory black carbon (rBC) is a primary aerosol species, produced through incomplete combustion, that absorbs sunlight and contributes to positive radiative forcing. The overall climate effect of rBC depends on its spatial distribution a... ACOM Affiliations: ESS, ACRESP Publication Genre: Article View on OpenSky |
