Firn and polar ice cores enclosing trace gas species offer a unique archive to study changes in the past atmosphere and in terrestrial/marine source regions. Here we present a new online technique for ice core and air samples to measure a suite of isotope ratios and mixing ratios of trace gas species on a single sample. Isotope ratios are determined on methane, nitrous oxide and xenon with repr...

The present paper is a preliminary study preparing the introduction of reversible trace gas uptake by ice particles into a 3-D cloud resolving model. For this a 3-D simulation of a tropical deep convection cloud was run with the BRAMS cloud resolving model using a two-moment bulk microphysical parameterization. Trajectories within the convective clouds were computed from these simulation output...

Dissolved and particulate metal concentrations are reported from three sites beneath and at the base of the McMurdo Sound seasonal sea ice in the Ross Sea of Antarctica. This dataset provided insight into Co and Mn biogeochemistry, supporting a previous hypothesis for water column mixing occurring faster than scavenging. Three observations support this: first, Mn-containing particles with Mn/Al...

It is well established that electrification occurs when charge is transferred between small and large ice particles colliding in a thundercloud that contains strong updrafts. The small ice particles rise with one type of charge and the large ice particles (graupels) fall and carry with them downward the other type of charge, which is most often negative, so that normally lightning lowers negati...

introduction: hydrocolloids are widely used in food systems as an emulsifying or stabilizing agent. one way to improve the emulsifying properties of hydrocolloids is complexation with proteins. in general, protein and hydrocolloid components may be combined together by either a) covalent bonding (conjugates) or b) electrostatic complexing. conjugates can be efficiently prepared during the stora...

results of numerical simulation of intra-cloud electrification depend on a mechanism that determines the sign and magnitude of charge transferred to hydrometeors (including graupels and ice crystals), through their collision (mansell et al., 2005). some of the microphysical processes play an important role in the above mechanism. in order to estimate the amount and sign of the transmitted charg...
