A Deep Learning Approach to Extract Balanced Motions From Sea Surface Height Snapshot

  •  5 April 2024

Key Points

  • A Deep learning model is developed to extract balanced motions from sea surface height snapshot based on a realistic simulation

  • Diagnostics of three metrics reveal the effectiveness of the model in extracting balanced motions

  • The model exhibits remarkable advantages over the Gaussian filter (baseline) in capturing the gradient and Laplacian information

Forecasting Tropical Annual Maximum Wet‐Bulb Temperatures Months in Advance From the Current State of ENSO

  •  5 April 2024

Key Points

  • Tropical wet-bulb temperatures (TW) peak around 5 months after El Niño winters

  • A multiple linear regression model considering the El Niño-Southern Oscillation index and the long-term warming trend effectively explains TWmax variability

  • Our model quantifies the likelihood of strong El Niño and human-induced warming pushing TWmax to record-breaking levels

Why Does the October Effect Not Occur at Night?

  •  5 April 2024

Key Points

  • Strong and rapid decrease in VLF amplitude in October

  • Spring-fall asymmetry in VLF amplitude and lower mesospheric temperature

  • Asymmetry only at daytime VLF reflection height

Decadal Evolution of Ice‐Ocean Interactions at a Large East Greenland Glacier Resolved at Fjord Scale With Downscaled Ocean Models and Observations

  •  5 April 2024

Key Points

  • Subsurface temperature variability is simulated in a narrow fjord network using regional models downscaled from a global state estimate

  • Modeled increases in ocean melt at Daugaard-Jensen glacier coincide with the onset of acceleration in 2005 and retreat and thinning in 2011

  • Model variations in shelf-to-fjord ocean properties match with observations, providing a basis to estimate ocean forcing in ice projections

Stochastic Assessment of Dissolution at Fluid‐Mineral Interfaces

  •  5 April 2024

Key Points

  • A platform to evaluate absolute nanoscale topographic measurements of a crystal sample subject to dissolution/precipitation is designed

  • The associated spatially heterogeneous fields of absolute material fluxes across the surface are evaluated

  • Reaction rates are described through a stochastic framework encapsulating behaviors of surface features driving dissolution processes

Radiative Effect of Two Contrail Cirrus Outbreaks Over Western Europe Estimated Using Geostationary Satellite Observations and Radiative Transfer Calculations

  •  5 April 2024

Key Points

  • The cloud radiative effect (CRE) of two successive contrail-cirrus outbreaks is estimated from geostationary satellite measurements

  • These two outbreaks have different CRE sign and magnitude, which can be explained by their different cloud properties and time evolutions

  • The study suggests that automated quantification of contrail-cirrus CRE for monitoring or verification of contrail avoidance is feasible

Critical Size of Silver Iodide Containing Glaciogenic Cloud Seeding Particles

  •  4 April 2024

Key Points

  • Silver iodide (AgI) containing cloud-seeding aerosols exhibit comparable ice-forming abilities to pure AgI at sizes of 200 and 400 nm

  • Non-AgI impurities produced from flare burning decrease the ice nucleation ability of particles smaller than 90 nm

  • A new parameterization is presented to estimate the minimum mass of AgI particles required to maximize glaciogenic seeding

Influence of Lowering Soot‐Water Contact Angle on Ice Nucleation of Ozone‐Aged Soot

  •  4 April 2024

Key Points

  • Higher O3-concentration leads to a larger decease in water contact angle for organic-lean soot without changing the soot porosity

  • The decrease in soot-water contact angle from O3-aging produces an ice nucleation enhancement for organic-lean soot via PCF at T < 233 K

  • O3-aged organic-rich soot freezes homogeneously at bulk droplet conditions despite increased hydrophilicity due to unavailable pores
