Abstract. Lightning is the major cause of natural ignition of wildfires worldwide and produces the largest wildfires in some regions. Lightning strokes produce about 5 % of forest fires in the Mediterranean basin and are one of the most important precursors of the largest forest fires during the summer. Lightning-ignited wildfires produce significant emissions of aerosols, black carbon and trace gases, such as CO, SO2, CH4 and O3, affecting air quality. Characterization of the meteorological and cloud conditions of lightning-ignited wildfires in the Mediterranean basin can serve to improve fire forecasting models and to upgrade the implementation of fire emissions in atmospheric models. This study investigates the meteorological and cloud conditions of Lightning-Ignited Wildfires (LIW) and Long-Continuing-Current (LCC) lightning flashes in the Iberian Peninsula and Greece. LCC lightning and lightning in dry thunderstorms with low precipitation rate have been proposed to be the main precursors of the largest wildfires. We use lightning data provided by the World Wide Lightning Location Network (WWLLN), the Earth Network Total Lightning Network (ENTLN) and the Lightning Imaging Sensor (LIS) onboard the International Space Station (ISS) together with four databases of wildfires produced in Spain, Portugal, Southern France and Greece, respectively, in order to produce a climatology of LIW and LCC lightning over the Mediterranean basin. In addition, we use meteorological data provided by the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF) ERA5-reanalysis data set and by the Spanish State Meteorological Agency (AEMET) together with the Cloud Top Height (CTH) product derived from Meteosat Second Generation (MSG) satellites measurements to investigate the meteorological conditions of LIW and LCC lightning. According to our results, LIW and a significant amount of LCC lightning flashes tend to occur in dry thunderstorms with weak updrafts. Our results suggest that lightning-ignited wildfires tend to occur in high-based clouds with a vertical content of moisture lower than the climatological value, as well as with a higher temperature and a lower precipitation rate. Meteorological conditions of LIW from the Iberian Peninsula and Greece are in agreement, although some differences possibly caused by highly variable topography in Greece and a more humid environment are observed. These results show the possibility of using the typical meteorological and cloud conditions of LCC lightning flashes as proxy to parameterize the ignition of wildfires in atmospheric or forecasting models.
A differential emissivity imaging technique for measuring
hydrometeor mass and type
Authors: Singh Dhiraj K. , Donovan Spencer , Pardyjak Eric R. , Garrett Timothy J.
Published: March 2021

Abstract. The Differential Emissivity Imaging Disdrometer (DEID) is a new evaporation-based optical and thermal instrument designed to measure the mass, size, density, and type of individual hydrometeors and their bulk properties. Hydrometeor spatial dimensions are measured on a heated metal plate using an infrared camera by exploiting the much higher thermal emissivity of water compared with metal. As a melted hydrometeor evaporates, its mass can be directly related to the loss of heat from the hotplate assuming energy conservation across the hydrometeor. The heat-loss required to evaporate a hydrometeor is found to be independent of environmental conditions including ambient wind velocity, moisture level, and temperature. The difference in heat loss for snow versus rain for a given mass offers a method for discriminating precipitation phase. The DEID measures hydrometeors at sampling frequencies up to 1 Hz with masses and effective diameters greater than 1 µg and 200 µm, respectively, determined by the size of the hotplate and the thermal camera specifications. Measurable snow water equivalent (SWE) precipitation rates range from 0.001 to 200 mm h−1, as validated against a standard weighing bucket. Preliminary field-experiment measurements of snow and rain from the winters of 2019 and 2020 provided continuous automated measurements of precipitation rate, snow density, and visibility. Measured hydrometeor size distributions agree well with canonical results described in the literature.
Holocene phototrophic community and anoxia dynamics in meromictic Lake Jaczno (NE Poland) using high-resolution hyperspectral imaging and HPLC data

Published: March 2021

Abstract. Global spread of hypoxia and less frequent mixing in lakes is a
major growing environmental concern. Climate change and human impact are
expected to increasingly deteriorate aquatic ecosystems. The study of
processes and drivers of such changes in the past provides a great asset for
prevention and remediation in the future. We used a multiproxy approach
combining high-resolution bulk pigment data measured by hyperspectral
imaging (HSI) with lower-resolution specific chlorophyll types and carotenoids
measured by HPLC to examine Holocene trophic state changes and anoxia
evolution in the meromictic Lake Jaczno, NE Poland. A redundancy analysis (RDA)
including pollen-inferred vegetation cover, temperature and human impacts
provides insight into specific conditions and drivers of changing trophic
and redox states in the lake. Anoxic and sulfidic conditions were established in
Lake Jaczno after initial basin infilling 9500 years ago. Until 6700 cal BP,
lake trophy was relatively low, water turbidity was high and green sulfur
bacteria (GSB) were abundant within the phototrophic community, suggesting a
deep oxic–anoxic boundary and weak stratification. The period between
6700–500 cal BP is characterized by constantly increasing lake production
and a gradual shift from GSB to purple sulfur bacteria (PSB), suggesting a
shallower oxic–anoxic boundary and pronounced stratification. Yet, the
presence of spheroidene and speroidenone in the sediments indicates
intermittent anoxia. After 500 cal BP, increasing human impact,
deforestation and intensive agriculture promoted lake eutrophication, with a
shift to PSB dominance and establishment of permanent anoxia and meromixis.
Our study unambiguously documents the legacy of human impact on processes
determining eutrophication and anoxia.
The Surface Water Chemistry (SWatCh) database: A standardized
global database of water chemistry to facilitate large-sample
hydrological research
Authors: Rotteveel Lobke , Sterling Shannon M.
Published: March 2021

Abstract. Openly accessible global scale surface water chemistry datasets are urgently needed to detect widespread trends and problems, to help identify their possible solutions, and identify critical spatial data gaps where more monitoring is required. Existing datasets are limited in availability, sample size/sampling frequency, and geographic scope. These limitations inhibit the answering of emerging transboundary water chemistry questions, for example, the detection and understanding of delayed recovery from freshwater acidification. Here, we begin to address these limitations by compiling the global surface water chemistry (SWatCh) database, available on Zenodo (DOI: https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.4559696) We collect, clean, standardize, and aggregate open access data provided by six national and international agencies to compile a database consisting of three relational datasets: sites, methods, and samples, and one GIS shapefile of site locations. We remove poor quality data (for example, values flagged as suspect), standardize variable naming conventions and units, and perform other data cleaning steps required for statistical analysis. The database contains water chemistry data across seven continents, 17 variables, 38,598 sites, and over 9 million samples collected between 1960 and 2019. We identify critical spatial data gaps in the equatorial and arid climate regions, highlighting the need for more data collection and sharing initiatives in these areas, especially considering freshwater ecosystems in these environs are predicted to be among the most heavily impacted by climate change. We identify the main challenges associated with compiling global databases – limited data availability, dissimilar sample collection and analysis methodology, and reporting ambiguity – and provide recommendations to address them. By addressing these challenges and consolidating data from various sources into one standardized, openly available, high quality, and trans-boundary database, SWatCh allows users to conduct powerful and robust statistical analyses of global surface water chemistry.
Sensitivity of surface solar radiation to aerosol–radiation and aerosol–cloud interactions over Europe in WRFv3.6.1 climatic runs with fully interactive aerosols
Authors: Jerez Sonia , Palacios-Peña Laura , Gutiérrez Claudia , Jiménez-Guerrero Pedro , López-Romero Jose María , Pravia-Sarabia Enrique , Montávez Juan Pedro
Published: March 2021

Abstract. The amount of solar radiation reaching the Earth's surface can be highly
determined by atmospheric aerosols, which have been pointed to as the most uncertain climate
forcing agents through their direct (scattering and absorption), semi-direct
(absorption implying a thermodynamic effect on clouds) and indirect (modification of cloud
properties when aerosols act as cloud condensation nuclei)
effects. Nonetheless, regional climate models hardly ever dynamically model
the atmospheric concentration of aerosols and their interactions with
radiation (ARIs) and clouds (ACIs). The objective of this work is to evince
the role of modeling ARIs and ACIs in Weather Research and Forecast (WRF)
model simulations with fully interactive aerosols (online resolved
concentrations) with a focus on summer mean surface downward solar radiation
(RSDS) over Europe. Under historical conditions (1991–2010), both ARIs and
ACIs reduce RSDS by a few percentage points over central and northern
regions. This reduction is larger when only ARIs are resolved, while ACIs
counteract the effect of the former by up to half. The response of RSDS to
the activation of ARIs and ACIs is mainly led by the aerosol effect on
cloud coverage, while the aerosol effect on atmospheric optical depth
plays a very minor role, which evinces the importance of semi-direct and
indirect aerosol effects. In fact, differences in RSDS among experiments
with and without aerosols are smaller under clear-sky conditions. In terms of
future projections (2031–2050 vs. 1991–2010), the baseline pattern (from an
experiment without aerosols) shows positive signals southward and negative
signals northward. While ARIs enhance the former and reduce the latter, ACIs
work in the opposite direction and provide a flatter RSDS change pattern,
further evincing the opposite impact from semi-direct and indirect effects
and the nontrivial influence of the latter.
MLAir (v1.0) – a tool to enable fast and flexible machine learning on air data time series
Authors: Leufen Lukas Hubert , Kleinert Felix , Schultz Martin G.
Published: March 2021

Abstract. With MLAir (Machine Learning on Air data) we created a software environment that simplifies and accelerates the exploration of new machine learning (ML) models, specifically shallow and deep neural networks, for the analysis and forecasting of meteorological and air quality time series. Thereby MLAir is not developed as an abstract workflow, but hand in hand with actual scientific questions. It thus addresses scientists with either a meteorological or an ML background. Due to their relative ease of use and spectacular results in other application areas, neural networks and other ML methods are also gaining enormous momentum in the weather and air quality research communities. Even though there are already many books and tutorials describing how to conduct an ML experiment, there are many stumbling blocks for a newcomer. In contrast, people familiar with ML concepts and technology often have difficulties understanding the nature of atmospheric data. With MLAir we have addressed a number of these pitfalls so that it becomes easier for scientists of both domains to rapidly start off their ML application. MLAir has been developed in such a way that it is easy to use and is designed from the very beginning as a stand-alone, fully functional experiment. Due to its flexible, modular code base, code modifications are easy and personal experiment schedules can be quickly derived. The package also includes a set of validation tools to facilitate the evaluation of ML results using standard meteorological statistics. MLAir can easily be ported onto different computing environments from desktop workstations to high-end supercomputers with or without graphics processing units (GPUs).
A Living Spatial Movement of Relation. Reconceptualising Ricœur’s Oneself as Another and Heidegger’s Being and Time
Authors: Downes Paul
Published: March 2021

Beyond the disparate and mainly fleeting references to life in Ricoeur’s Oneself as Another, whether as life as power, living well and with others, or as Ricoeur’s attempt to develop a concept of embodied subjectivity as flesh, which is presumably living flesh, not dead flesh, a further and arguably primordial life principle needs emphasis, namely, living space. Ricoeur’s recognition of the vital significance of space primordiality, as a pivotal dimension that is even prior to language, offers a significant conceptual leap in Ricoeur’s later work, Oneself as Another. Ricoeur’s proposed ontology of the flesh is one dimension towards expression of an authentic phenomenology of spatiality, though not necessarily the only one. Building upon but going beyond Ricoeur, the article explores concentric and diametric spatial interplay in relation to the early Heidegger’s existential spatiality, Angst and care, as candidate living spatial movements. This proposed primordial spatial discourse re-examines Ricoeur’s conatus as power to act, and his quest for a structure of relation to the other that is not closure, separation, or diametric opposition.

Published: March 2021

The objective of the study was to establish the prevalence of clinical hip osteoarthritis in current and former professional footballers and to explore its consequences on hip function and health-related quality of life (HRQoL). A cross-sectional study by means of questionnaire was conducted among current and former professional footballers fulfilling the following inclusion criteria: (1) male (2) active or retired professional footballer (3) member of FIFPRO (Football Players Worldwide) (4) between 18 and 50 years old (5) could read and understand texts in French, Spanish, or English. Controls (matched for: gender, age, body weight and height) were also recruited. The main outcome measures were clinical hip osteoarthritis, hip function and HRQoL. Questionnaires were sent to 2,500 members of which 1,401 participated (1,000 current and 401 former professional footballers). Fifty-two controls were recruited. Prevalence of hip osteoarthritis was 2% among current and 8% among former professional footballers. Hip function was significantly (p ≤ 0.001) lower in both types of footballers with hip osteoarthritis than in footballers without hip osteoarthritis and controls. Current and former professional footballers with hip osteoarthritis reported significantly lower physical health scores (p = 0.032, p = 0.002) than those without. Hip osteoarthritis led to a significantly lower score in the physical (p = 0.004) and mental (p = 0.014) component of HRQoL in former footballers compared to the controls, while in current footballers only the physical component was significantly (p = 0.012) lower compared to the controls. Hip osteoarthritis has a higher prevalence in former than in current professional footballers and impacts hip function and HRQoL negatively.

Agrarian situation in Semberia in the first decade of 20th century (based on the Memorandum-request of landowner Osman-bey Pašić from 1912, sent to the Minister of Finance Bilinski)
Authors:   Faculty of Philosophy, University of Tuzla, Šabotić Izet
Published: March 2021

The paper presents the Memorandum-Request from 1912 by Osman-bey Pašić, a landowner from Bijeljina, addressed to the Minister of Finance of Bilinski. The Memorandum highlighted numerous irregularities and difficulties encountered by Bosniak landowners and Bosniaks in Semberia. Particularly pointed out was the problem of the relationship between serfs (čifčije) and landowners, where the expression of disregard for obligations by serfs, as well as the usurpation of property occurred. In this way, the economic status of landowners has largely diminished. In addition, the security, religious, political and social rights of Bosniaks in this area were significantly compromised. So, the relation of the agas - landowners and serfs was not only of a commercial nature, but also of a national-political one. In such procedures, the authorities of Bijeljina did not function adequately, and in the memorandum minister Bilinski was asked to intervene, in order for the government to start acting. This document is only one of documents confirming all the complexity and stratification of agrarian relations in Bosnia and Herzegovina during this period, which were particularly complex in the area of Semberija.
