Abstract. The rapid warming of the Arctic, driven by glacial and sea ice melt, poses significant challenges to Earth's climate, ecosystems, economy. Recent evidence indicates that snow-darkening effect (SDE), caused black carbon (BC) deposition, plays a crucial role in accelerated warming. However, high-resolution simulations assessing impacts from properties snowpack land–atmosphere interactions on changes surface energy balance Arctic BC remain scarce. This study integrates Snow, Ice,...

High ozone concentrations (70–80 ppb) were found from late afternoon to midnight at sites ca. 5000 m above sea level (m.a.s.l.) on Mt. Everest. Observational data suggest that katabatic wind Everest was “pumping down” ozone‐rich air the upper troposphere. Numerical modelling demonstrates cooling of glaciers and snow northern mountain slopes heating valley surface play important roles in forming winds accelerating vertical exchange between atmosphere air. These results “pump‐down” mechanism...

Abstract Despite extensive studies for characterization of aerosol chemistry near ground level, long‐term vertical particle composition in Beijing is very limited. In this work, non‐refractory submicron (NR‐PM 1 ) species were simultaneously measured at level and 260 m on a meteorological tower from 14 October 2014 to 18 January 2015 using two mass spectrometers. Our results showed overall lower concentrations NR‐PM by 2%–36% than both heating non‐heating seasons, also larger gradients...
