Airborne observations reveal elevational gradient in tropical forest isoprene e...
Gu, Dasa; Guenther, Alex B.; Shilling, John E.; Yu, Haofei; Huang, Maoyi; Zhao, Chun; Yang, Qing; Martin, Scot T.; Artaxo, Paulo; Kim, SaewungIsoprene dominates global non-methane volatile organic compound emissions, and impacts tropospheric chemistry by influencing oxidants and aerosols. Isoprene emission rates vary over several orders of magnitude for different plants, and characterizing this immense biological chemodiversity is a challenge for estimating isoprene emission from tropical forests. Here we present the isoprene emission estimates from ...
Urban pollution greatly enhances formation of natural aerosols over the Amazon ...
Shrivastava, Manish K.; Andreae, Meinrat O.; Artaxo, Paulo; Barbosa, H. M. J.; Berg, Larry K.; Brito, Joel F.; Ching, Joseph; Easter, Richard C.One of the least understood aspects in atmospheric chemistry is how urban emissions influence the formation of natural organic aerosols, which affect Earth’s energy budget. The Amazon rainforest, during its wet season, is one of the few remaining places on Earth where atmospheric chemistry transitions between preindustrial and urban-influenced conditions. Here, we integrate insights from several laboratory meas...
