Vapor plumes in a tropical wet forest: spotting the invisible evaporation
- Hydrology and Earth System Sciences
- DOI 10.5194/hess-25-619-2021
- 3 March 2021
Forest evaporation exports a vast amount of water vapor from land ecosystems into the atmosphere. This work describes the formation process of vapor plumes in a tropical wet forest as evidence of evaporation processes happening during rain events.
Low-NO atmospheric oxidation pathways in a polluted megacity

- 2 March 2021
The impact of emissions of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) to the atmosphere on the production of secondary pollutants, such as ozone and secondary organic aerosol (SOA), is mediated by the concentration of nitric oxide (NO). Polluted urban atmospheres are typically considered to be high-NO” environments, while remote regions such as rainforests, with minimal anthropogenic influences, are considered to be “low NO”. However, our observations from central Beijing show that this simplistic separation of regimes is flawed.
A limited effect of sub-tropical typhoons on phytoplankton dynamics
- Biogeosciences
- DOI 10.5194/bg-18-849-2021
- 1 March 2021
Typhoons are assumed to stimulate primary ocean production through the upward mixing of nutrients into the ocean surface. This assumption is based largely on observations of increased surface chlorophyll concentrations following the passage of typhoons. This surface chlorophyll enhancement, occasionally detected by satellites, is often undetected due to intense cloud coverage.

GeoPolicy: Atmospheric Sciences and Past, Present & Future Divisions welcome the US back into the Paris Climate Agreement
- GeoLog – EGU official blog
- posted 6 hours ago
As of 19 February 2021, the US officially re-joined the Paris Climate Agreement, a landmark international accord to limit global warming by 2°C (and ideally to 1.5°C) compared to pre-industrial levels. The Paris Climate Agreement aims to bring the world together to avoid catastrophic warming that will impact us all and to build resilience to the consequences of climate change that we are already starting to see.
