Improving greenhouse gas emission estimates with 222Radon
Inverse modeling is currently our best tool to study the exchanges of greenhouse gases between the surface and atmosphere. In short: the method revolves around optimizing a-priori estimates of fluxes (e.g. fossil fuel emissions) b ...

Does thunderstorm electricity depend on ice-crystal shape?
Background Lightening is the result of charged regions in thunderclouds. Collision between ice crystals and graupel particles are an important mechanism to cause such charged regions. Depending on the height in the cloud, eithe ...

Explaing black carbon observations at the Veenkampen meteo station
Black carbon measurements at the Veenkampen show peak concentrations in the morning, which are thought to be caused by the morning rush hour traffic at the A12 highway. However, the Veenkampen station is rather remote from the hig ...

Summer observations in the Amsterdam Atmospheric Monitoring Supersite
Understanding the weather in cities is challenging and more and more relevant due to intense urbanization and climate change. For example, cities and their inhabitants suffer from urban heat islands, peak showers and enhanced ener ...

Water use strategy and the competition for soil moisture
The drought response of ecosystems is an important topic in land-atmosphere interaction studies. The water use strategy of the vegetation determines how fast the vegetation increases the stomatal conductance. This feeds back on th ...

Signals of climate variations in a decade of diagnosed terrestrial carbon dioxide surface exchange
Sources and sinks of carbon dioxide (CO2) are currently dominated by man-made emissions resulting from fossil fuel burning. However, the mixing ratios of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere predominantly reflect the large variations  ...

Plant pathogens and the weather: an interesting encounter
Pests and diseases pose a continuous threat to the productivity and profitability of field crops. Many plant pathogens and insects pests move within and between fields through air. Furthermore, the development of certain pathogen ...

Changes in Extreme Weather and Climate Events in Europe
Droughts, flood-producing rains, wind storms, heat waves and severe cold outbreaks have major impacts on our living conditions and economy. Society’s wish to anticipate changes in the occurrence of such weather and climate extr ...

The influence of the Urban Heat Island on air quality and human health
In the last century, 38 heat waves occurred in Europe, of which 11 were after 1990 and six after 2000 (IPCC 2007). Climate projections for the next 50 years show that the frequency and severity of heat waves will probably further ...

Understanding the mysterious minimum sensible heat flux in the stable boundary layer coupled to the land surface.
The stable boundary layer is a complex atmospheric phenomenon and a challenge for atmospheric models for weather and climate. At night after sunset the land surface cools due to radiative cooling, and consequently a stable stratif ...
