  1. 31. Marine biogenic polysaccharides as a potential source of aerosol in the high Arctic : Towards a link between marine biology and cloud formation

    Författare :Qiuju Gao; Caroline Leck; Ulrika Nilsson; Eric Saltzman; Stockholms universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Polysaccharides; Biogenic polymer microgels; Arctic Ocean; LC MS MS; Surface microlayer; Marine aerosol particles; Remote marine cloud condensation nuclei; atmosfärvetenskap och oceanografi; Atmospheric Sciences and Oceanography;

    Sammanfattning : Primary marine aerosol particles containing biogenic polymer microgels play a potential role for cloud formation in the pristine high Arctic summer. One of the major sources of the polymer gels in Arctic aerosol was suggested to be the surface water and more specifically, the surface microlayer (SML) of the open leads within the perennial sea ice as a result of bubble bursting at the air-sea interface.

  2. 32. Physicochemical properties and atmospheric ageing of soot - investigated though aerosol mass spectrometry

    Författare :Axel Eriksson; Kärnfysik; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Black carbon; soot; vehicle exhausts; wood stove emissions; atmospheric processing; SP-AMS;

    Sammanfattning : Aerosol particles contribute significantly to the global burden of disease, and remain the main source of uncertainty in assessments of human-induced climate change. The microphysical characterization of particles is necessary to understand the roles they play in the detrimental effects of air pollution on human health, and in the energy budget of our planet.

  3. 33. Exploring the Universe Using Neutrinos : A Search for Point Sources in the Southern Hemisphere Using the IceCube Neutrino Observatory

    Författare :Rickard Ström; Allan Hallgren; Olga Botner; Chad Finley; Lawrence R. Sulak; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; astroparticle physics; neutrino sources; neutrino telescopes; IceCube; Fysik med inriktning mot elementarpartikelfysik; Physics with specialization in Elementary Particle Physics;

    Sammanfattning : Neutrinos are the ideal cosmic messengers, and can be used to explore the most powerful accelerators in the Universe, in particular the mechanisms for producing and accelerating cosmic rays to incredible energies. By studying clustering of neutrino candidate events in the IceCube detector we can discover sites of hadronic acceleration. LÄS MER

  4. 34. Spectral Control of Functional Fiber Sources

    Författare :Robert Lindberg; Valdas Pasiskevicius; Stefano Taccheo; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Optics and Photonics; Optik och fotonik;

    Sammanfattning : This thesis is based on five projects aimed at spectral control of fiber-based laser architectures. Two of these concern electrically wavelength-tunable laser sources, namely a fiber amplifier system for CO2-monitoring and a novel tunable laser design for flexible pulsed operation. LÄS MER

  5. 35. Isotope-based constraints on sources and processing of black carbon, carbon monoxide, and brown carbon in South Asia

    Författare :Sanjeev Dasari; Örjan Gustafsson; August Andersson; Jos Lelieveld; Stockholms universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; South Asia; Air Pollution; Short-Lived Pollutants; Atmospheric Abundance; Model-Observation Mismatch; Radiocarbon; Stable Isotopes; Applied Environmental Science; tillämpad miljövetenskap;

    Sammanfattning : The highly populated South Asian region is facing rapid economic growth and urbanization. Here, both climate- and health-affecting atmospheric agents such as light-absorbing aerosols black carbon (BC) and brown carbon (BrC), trace gas carbon monoxide (CO), are often found in relatively high levels compared to in other regions.
