Aerosol particles are an important part of the Earth climate system, and their concentrations are spatially and temporally heterogeneous, as well as being variable in size and composition. Particles can interact with incoming solar radiation and outgoing longwave radiation, change cloud properties, affect photochemistry, impact surface air quality, change the albedo of snow and ice, and modulate carbon dioxide uptake by the land and ocean. High particulate matter concentrations at the surface represent an important public health hazard. There are substantial data sets describing aerosol particles in the literature or in public health databases, but they have not been compiled for easy use by the climate and air quality modeling community. Here, we present a new compilation of PM2.5 and PM10 surface observations, including measurements of aerosol composition, focusing on the spatial variability across different observational stations. Climate modelers are constantly looking for multiple independent lines of evidence to verify their models, and in situ surface concentration measurements, taken at the level of human settlement, present a valuable source of information about aerosols and their human impacts complementarily to the column averages or integrals often retrieved from satellites. We demonstrate a method for comparing the data sets to outputs from global climate models that are the basis for projections of future climate and large-scale aerosol transport patterns that influence local air quality. Annual trends and seasonal cycles are discussed briefly and are included in the compilation. Overall, most of the planet or even the land fraction does not have sufficient observations of surface concentrations - and, especially, particle composition - to characterize and understand the current distribution of particles. Climate models without ammonium nitrate aerosols omit similar to 10 % of the globally averaged surface concentration of aerosol particles in both PM2.5 and PM10 size fractions, with up to 50 % of the surface concentrations not being included in some regions. In these regions, climate model aerosol forcing projections are likely to be incorrect as they do not include important trends in short-lived climate forcers.
Air mass movement across Earth: Highways for particle transport in the past, present and future
(éditions Quae, 2025) Lambert, Fabrice
Understanding modern air mass circulation patterns is fundamental to comprehending how Earth's atmosphere functions and influences microparticle transport pathways. These patterns, driven by the uneven heating of the Earth's surface and the rotation of the planet, create distinct wind systems that transport heat, moisture, and particles across the globe. This chapter delves into the primary circulation and wind patterns that shape the dispersal of particles. Knowledge of dispersal is founded primarily on studies of mineral dust aerosols. However, it is well known that spores, microbes, and viruses can attach to mineral dust particles through various mechanisms, including electrostatic forces and physical entrapment within the dust matrix (Smith et al., 2011). Furthermore, carbonaceous materials, organic compounds, smoke, and even sea salt can carry microorganisms. The range of processes of emission of particles that harbor living microorganisms, including dust and sea-spray emissions, emissions from other surface waters and via fires, are covered primarily in Chapters 3, 4, 7 and 8. The association of microorganisms with dust or other particles may contribute to their survival (Noda et al., 2023), which can be assessed from various approaches as described in Chapter 6. Nevertheless, the emissions processes all contribute to assuring that microorganisms can ride the dust transport systems. By exploring these dust transport systems, we gain insight into the mechanisms that govern atmospheric dynamics and their critical role in the dispersal of spores, microbes, and viruses.

(2017) Eichinger, Roland; Shaffer, Gary; Nelson Albarrán; Rojas, Maisa; Lambert, Fabrice
This supplement provides additional material to the article “An improved land biosphere module for use in reduced complexity ESMs with application to the last glacial termination”. We provide a detailed description of our treatment of the new vegetation dependent albedo, the dust radiative forcing and high latitude ocean iron-limitation and present an example case for the snow 5 and ice line parameterisation that interacts with the new biosphere scheme. Next, we give the mathematical description of the ocean vertical diffusion profile function in the high latitude model ocean that is applied for generating Last Glacial Maximum (LGM) conditions in the DCESS model and the formulation of the resumption of deep ocean mixing. Furthermore, we present some additional information on the generation of model LGM conditions in atmosphere and ocean, a literature review on the Mystery Interval (MI) and an overview for model and proxy data changes during the MI. The Supplement ends with additional information on the various 14 10 C production rate time series that were applied in the model simulations, an analysis of the DCESS model calculated 14C production rate time series and the isotope ratio definitions.

Analysing the trends of research contributions and scientific collaboration networks working in Antarctic science: a look to the production of the Spanish programme honouring the memory of Andrés Barbosa
(2025) Ríos Silva, Felipe; Pertierra, Luis R.; Filippo, Daniela De; Justel, Ana; Tejedo, Pablo; Lambert, Fabrice; Benayas, Javier
Antarctica, which has always been of great interest to researchers worldwide, is currently attracting considerable attention owing to climate change and other topics. In this context, bibliometric analysis allows the identification of hot topics, scientific productivity, cooperation, research gaps and strategic areas of potential interest. We conducted a bibliometric study to evaluate the global production of Antarctic research between 1980 and 2023 and analysed Spanish National Antarctic Programme (NAP) production as a case study. Scientific publications were reviewed and classified based on their main themes, key word co-occurrence and international collaborations. We found that scientific production worldwide and in the Spanish NAP has progressively increased since 1980. Globally, the main areas of research are the geosciences, oceanography and atmospheric sciences. However, the Spanish NAP, which reported 2287 publications, has focused more on the geosciences and ecology. Spanish Antarctic researchers have mainly collaborated with researchers from the USA, the UK, Germany and Italy. Our research highlights the importance of strengthening research plans to diversify and facilitate international collaboration, promoting a more interdisciplinary approach to address the current and future challenges identified by the scientific community. In this context, specific opportunities for developing a Spanish NAP strategic plan are discussed.

Assessing the Effect of Glacier Runoff Changes on Basin Runoff and Agricultural Production in the Indus, Amu Darya, and Tarim Interior Basins
(2025) Calvo Gallardo, Rubén Ignacio; Lambert, Fabrice; Álamos Correa, Nicolás; Urquiza, Anahí
Climate change is leading to a substantial reduction in glacier mass, and it is anticipated that during this century, the peak water contribution of glaciers to runoff will occur in major glacierized basins around the world. Glacier runoff is a crucial source of water in mountain basins, and a decrease in its contribution can affect agricultural production. In this study, we modeled the agricultural sector's response to changes in glacier runoff in the Asian basins of Amu Darya, Tarim Interior, and Indus, using the Global Change Analysis Model, which was driven by surface runoff derived from the Xanthos hydrological model and the Open Global Glacier Model. Our findings indicate that under SSP5-8.5, there is an increase in accessible water during the Peak-Water Glacier Runoff compared to the Historical Glacier Runoff scenario. However, accessible water under SSP58.5 falls below the Historical Glacier Runoff scenario in the last decades of the 21st century. The initial increase in accessible water drives the GCAM agricultural model to increase the production of oil crops, root tubers, sugar crops, and fruits, but only temporarily until peak glacier runoff occurrence. In Pakistan, we observe the adaptive response of neighboring basins (increased production) to a reduction in crop production in the Amu Darya and Indus and vice versa. Our results support the argument that policymakers should implement a holistic long-term perspective, in which the apparent positive economic effect of the temporary increase in accessible water is balanced with the threat to intergenerational access to freshwater and ecosystem conservation.

The role of manganese (Mn) in ecosystem carbon (C) biogeochemical cycling is gaining increasing attention. While soil Mn is mainly derived from bedrock, atmospheric deposition could be a major source of Mn to surface soils, with implications for soil C cycling. However, quantification of the atmospheric Mn cycle, which comprises emissions from natural (desert dust, sea salts, volcanoes, primary biogenic particles, and wildfires) and anthropogenic sources (e.g., industrialization and land-use change due to agriculture), transport, and deposition, remains uncertain. Here, we use compiled emission data sets for each identified source to model and quantify the atmospheric Mn cycle by combining an atmospheric model and in situ atmospheric concentration measurements. We estimated global emissions of atmospheric Mn in aerosols (<10 mu m in aerodynamic diameter) to be 1,400 Gg Mn year(-1). Approximately 31% of the emissions come from anthropogenic sources. Deposition of the anthropogenic Mn shortened Mn "pseudo" turnover times in 1-m-thick surface soils (ranging from 1,000 to over 10,000,000 years) by 1-2 orders of magnitude in industrialized regions. Such anthropogenic Mn inputs boosted the Mn-to-N ratio of the atmospheric deposition in non-desert dominated regions (between 5 x 10(-5) and 0.02) across industrialized areas, but that was still lower than soil Mn-to-N ratio by 1-3 orders of magnitude. Correlation analysis revealed a negative relationship between Mn deposition and topsoil C density across temperate and (sub)tropical forests, consisting with atmospheric Mn deposition enhancing carbon respiration as seen in in situ biogeochemical studies.

Iron emissions from human activities, such as oil combustion and smelting, affect the Earth's climate and marine ecosystems. These emissions are difficult to quantify accurately due to a lack of observations, particularly in remote ocean regions. In this study, we used long-term, near-source observations in areas with a dominance of anthropogenic iron emissions in various parts of the world to better estimate the total amount of anthropogenic iron emissions. We also used a statistical source apportionment method to identify the anthropogenic components and their sub-sources from bulk aerosol observations in the United States. We find that the estimates of anthropogenic iron emissions are within a factor of 3 in most regions compared to previous inventory estimates. Under- or overestimation varied by region and depended on the number of sites, interannual variability, and the statistical filter choice. Smelting-related iron emissions are overestimated by a factor of 1.5 in East Asia compared to previous estimates. More long-term iron observations and the consideration of the influence of dust and wildfires could help reduce the uncertainty in anthropogenic iron emissions estimates.
Contaminant emissions as indicators of chemical elements in the snow along a latitudinal gradient in southern Andes

The chemical composition of snow provides insights on atmospheric transport of anthropogenic contaminants at different spatial scales. In this study, we assess how human activities influence the concentration of elements in the Andean mountain snow along a latitudinal transect throughout Chile. The concentration of seven elements (Al, Cu, Fe, Li, Mg, Mn and Zn) was associated to gaseous and particulate contaminants emitted at different spatial scales. Our results indicate carbon monoxide (CO) averaged at 20 km and nitrogen oxide (NOx) at 40 km as the main indicators of the chemical elements analyzed. CO was found to be a significant predictor of most element concentrations while concentrations of Cu, Mn, Mg and Zn were positively associated to emissions of NOx. Emission of 2.5 mu m and 10 mu m particulate matter averaged at different spatial scales was positively associated to concentration of Li. Finally, the concentration of Zn was positively associated to volatile organic compounds (VOC) averaged at 40 km around sampling sites. The association between air contaminants and chemical composition of snow suggests that regions with intensive anthropogenic pollution face reduced quality of freshwater originated from glacier and snow melting.

Dust archives within polar ice cores
(Elsevier, 2024) Lambert, Fabrice
Mineral dust aerosols are pivotal components of Earth's atmosphere and significantly influence the climate system. Investigating their impacts through ice core records offers unique insights into paleoclimate dynamics. Various techniques, including direct and indirect measurements of concentrations and size distributions, unravel the complex story of dust provenance, transport, and deposition. Dust records correlate with temperature reconstructions, reflecting the interconnectedness of climatic processes. Enhanced characterization methods promise a deeper understanding of the role of dust in the Earth's history. The current state of knowledge on paleoclimatic mineral dust in ice cores is reviewed, including its measurement, hemispheric differences, and climatic interpretation.
