Ice injected into the tropopause by deep convection – Part 1: In the austral convective tropics
Authors: Dion Iris-Amata , Ricaud Philippe , Haynes Peter , Carminati Fabien , Dauhut Thibaut
Published: May 2019

Abstract. The contribution of deep convection to the amount of water vapour
and ice in the tropical tropopause layer (TTL) from the tropical upper
troposphere (UT; around 146 hPa) to the tropopause level (TL; around 100 hPa)
is investigated. Ice water content (IWC) and water vapour (WV) measured in
the UT and the TL by the Microwave Limb Sounder (MLS; Version 4.2) are
compared to the precipitation (Prec) measured by the Tropical Rainfall
Measurement Mission (TRMM; Version 007). The two datasets, gridded within
2∘ × 2∘ horizontal bins, have been analysed
during the austral convective season, December, January, and February (DJF),
from 2004 to 2017. MLS observations are performed at 01:30 and 13:30 local
solar time, whilst the Prec dataset is constructed with a time resolution of
1 h. The new contribution of this study is to provide a much more
detailed picture of the diurnal variation of ice than is provided by the
very limited (two per day) MLS observations. Firstly, we show that IWC
represents 70 % and 50 % of the total water in the tropical UT and TL,
respectively, and that Prec is spatially highly correlated with IWC in the UT
(Pearson's linear coefficient R=0.7). We propose a method that uses Prec as a
proxy for deep convection bringing ice up to the UT and TL during the growing
stage of convection, in order to estimate the amount of ice injected into the UT and the TL, respectively. We validate the method using ice
measurements from the Superconducting Submillimeter-Wave Limb-Emission
Sounder (SMILES) during the period DJF 2009–2010. Next, the diurnal cycle of
injection of IWC into the UT and the TL by deep convection is calculated by
the difference between the maximum and the minimum in the estimated diurnal
cycle of IWC in these layers and over selected convective zones. Six
tropical highly convective zones have been chosen: South America, South
Africa, Pacific Ocean, Indian Ocean, and the Maritime Continent region,
split into land (MariCont-L) and ocean (MariCont-O). IWC injection is found
to be 2.73 and 0.41 mg m−3 over tropical land in the UT and TL,
respectively, and 0.60 and 0.13 mg m−3 over tropical ocean in
the UT and TL, respectively. The MariCont-L region has the greatest ice
injection in both the UT and TL (3.34 and 0.42–0.56 mg m−3,
respectively). The MariCont-O region has less ice injection than MariCont-L
(0.91 mg m−3 in the UT and 0.16–0.34 mg m−3 in TL) but
has the highest diurnal minimum value of IWC in the TL (0.34–0.37 mg m−3) among all oceanic zones.
Assessment of dicarbonyl contributions to secondary organic aerosols over China using RAMS-CMAQ
Authors: Li Jialin , Zhang Meigen , Tang Guiqian , Sun Yele , Wu Fangkun , Xu Yongfu
Published: May 2019

Abstract. The concentration of secondary organic aerosol (SOA) is underestimated in
current model studies. Recent research suggests that the reactive uptake of
dicarbonyls contributes to the production of SOA, although few models have
included this pathway. Glyoxal, an important representative component of
dicarbonyls in models, is significantly underestimated. We therefore
incorporated the reactive uptake of dicarbonyls into the regional air
quality modeling system RAMS-CMAQ (the Regional Atmospheric Modeling
System-Community Multiscale Air Quality) to evaluate the contribution of
dicarbonyls to SOA, and we then assess the impact of the underestimation of
glyoxal on the production of SOA in China during two time periods: 3 June to
11 July 2014 (episode 1) and 14 October to 14 November 2014 (episode 2).
When the reactive uptake process was added, the modeled mean concentration
of SOA in episode 1 increased by 3.65 µg m−3, which explained
34.8 % of the unaccounted-for source of SOA. Meanwhile the increase in the
concentration of SOA in episode 2 was 1.82 µg m−3 as a result of
the lower liquid water content and the lower amount of dicarbonyls produced
from biogenic precursors in the fall. On this basis, when the glyoxal
simulation was improved, the modeled mean dicarbonyl-derived SOA
(AAQ)
increased by more than a factor of 2 in both episodes relative to case 1.
AAQ in episode 1 contributed, on average, 60.6 % of the total
concentration of SOA and the increase in this contribution represented
69.1 % of the unaccounted-for concentration of SOA, whereas the mean AAQ in
episode 2 accounted for 64.5 % of total concentration of SOA. Based on the
results, the mean AAQ over China was generally higher in the east than in
the west during the two episodes. The highest value (10–15 µg m−3)
of episode 1 appeared in the areas around the lower reaches of the Yellow
River, whereas the highest value of 5–10 µg m−3 in episode 2 was
concentrated over regions from south of the lower reaches of the Yellow
River to the south of Guangzhou Province as well as the Sichuan Basin. The
contribution of AAQ to the concentration of SOA in episode 1 varied from
10 %
to 90 % throughout China, with the highest contributions (70 %–90 %) in
the coastal regions and offshore along the East China Sea to the South China
Sea and in the southwestern regions. The fraction of AAQ to SOA in
episode 2 was in the range of 10 %–80 % over China, with the fraction up to
80 % in a small portion of northeastern China.

Abstract. Bromine radicals influence global tropospheric chemistry
by depleting ozone and by oxidizing elemental mercury and reduced sulfur
species. Observations typically indicate a 50 % depletion of sea salt
aerosol (SSA) bromide relative to seawater composition, implying that SSA
debromination could be the dominant global source of tropospheric bromine.
However, it has been difficult to reconcile this large source with the
relatively low bromine monoxide (BrO) mixing ratios observed in the marine
boundary layer (MBL). Here we present a new mechanistic description of SSA
debromination in the GEOS-Chem global atmospheric chemistry model with a
detailed representation of halogen (Cl, Br, and I) chemistry. We show that
observed levels of SSA debromination can be reproduced in a manner
consistent with observed BrO mixing ratios. Bromine radical sinks from the
HOBr + S(IV) heterogeneous reactions and from ocean emission of
acetaldehyde are critical in moderating tropospheric BrO levels. The
resulting HBr is rapidly taken up by SSA and also deposited. Observations of SSA debromination at southern midlatitudes in summer suggest that model
uptake of HBr by SSA may be too fast. The model provides a successful
simulation of free-tropospheric BrO in the tropics and midlatitudes in summer,
where the bromine radical sink from the HOBr + S(IV) reactions is
compensated for by more efficient HOBr-driven recycling in clouds compared to
previous GEOS-Chem versions. Simulated BrO in the MBL is generally much
higher in winter than in summer due to a combination of greater SSA emission
and slower conversion of bromine radicals to HBr. An outstanding issue in
the model is the overestimate of free-tropospheric BrO in extratropical
winter–spring, possibly reflecting an overestimate of the HOBr∕HBr ratio
under these conditions where the dominant HOBr source is hydrolysis of
BrNO3.

Abstract. For the first time, a closure study of the relationship between ice-nucleating particle concentration (INPC) and ice crystal number concentration (ICNC) in altocumulus and cirrus layers, solely based on ground-based active remote sensing, is presented. Such aerosol-cloud closure experiments are required (a) to better understand aerosol-cloud interaction in the case of mixed-phase clouds, (b) to explore to what extend heterogeneous ice nucleation can contribute to cirrus formation which is usually controlled by homogeneous freezing, and (c) to check the usefulness of available INPC parameterization schemes, applied to lidar profiles of aerosol optical and microphysical properties up to tropopause level. The INPC-vs-ICNC closure studies were conducted in Cyprus (Limassol and Nicosia) during a six-week field campaign in March–April 2015 and during the 17-month CyCARE (Cyprus Clouds Aerosol and Rain Experiment) campaign. Focus is on altocumulus and cirrus layers which developed in pronounced Saharan dust layers at heights from 5–11 km. Cloud top temperatures ranged from −20 °C to −57 °C. INPC was estimated from polarization/Raman lidar observations in combination with published INPC parameterization schemes for immersion and deposition nucleation. ICNC was estimated from combined Doppler lidar, aerosol lidar, and cloud radar observations of the terminal velocity of falling ice crystals, radar reflectivity and lidar backscatter in combination with modeling of backscattering at 532 nm and 8.5 mm wavelength. Good to acceptable agreement between INPC (observed before and after the occurrence of the cloud layer under investigation) and ICNC values was found in three proof-of-concept closure experiments. In these case studies, INPC and ICNC values matched within an order of magnitude (i.e., within the uncertainty ranges of the INPC and ICNC estimates), and ranged from 0.1–10 per liter in the altocumulus layers and 1–50 per liter in the cirrus layers observed between 8–11 km height.
Machine dependence as a source of uncertainty in climate models:
The HadGEM3-GC3.1 CMIP Preindustrial simulation

Published: May 2019

Abstract. When the same weather or climate simulation is run on different High Performance Computing (HPC) platforms, model outputs may not be identical for a given initial condition. While the role of HPC platforms in delivering better climate projections is often discussed in literature, attention is mainly focused on scalability and performance rather than on the impact of machine-dependent processes on the numerical solution. At the same time, machine dependence is an overlooked source of uncertainty when it comes to discussing the model spread observed within the Coupled Model Intercomparison Projects (CMIP). Here we investigate the impact of machine dependence on model results and quantify, for a selected case study, the magnitude of the uncertainty. We consider the Preindustrial (PI) simulation prepared by the UK Met Office for the forthcoming CMIP6. We compare key climate variables between PI control simulations run on the UK Met Office supercomputer and the ARCHER HPC platform. Discrepancies strongly depend on the timescale. Decadal means show substantial differences of up to 0.2 °C for global mean air temperature, 1 W/m2 for TOA outgoing longwave flux and 1.2 million km2 for Southern Hemisphere sea ice area. However, on multi-centennial timescales the differences are not significant and the long-term statistics of the two runs are similar. Differences between the two simulations can be linked to variations in the strongest modes of climate variability. In the Southern Hemisphere, this results in large SST anomalies where ENSO teleconnection patterns are expected that can reach 0.6 °C (and SNR > 1) even on centennial timescales.

Abstract. Recently, global climate change is one of the biggest challenges in the world. Dense downfall and following catastrophic floods are one of the most destructive natural hazards among all. Consequences do not only risk human life but also cause economical damage. It is critical rapid mapping of flooding for decision making and emergency services in river management. In this study, we apply a multi-temporal change detection analysis to investigate the flooded areas occurred in Edirne province of Turkey. The study area is located at the lower course of Meric River (Evros in Greece or Maritsa in Bulgarian) which is the border between Turkey and Greece. The river basin is dominated by cropland which suffers from strong catastrophic precipitation. This situation cause overflow of capacity of the dams located along the river and serious flooding occur. Due to its dynamic structure the region exposed to heavy flooding in the past. One of the biggest inundations was occurred at 2nd February 2015 which resulted severe devastation in both urban and rural areas. For the analyses of the temporal and spatial dynamics of the disaster we use Sentinel-1 Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) data due to its systematic frequent acquisition. A dataset of pre-event and post-event Sentinel-1 images within the January and February of 2015 period was acquired. Flooded areas were extracted with threshold, random forest and deep learning approaches.
INDOOR PHOTOGRAMMETRY USING UAVS WITH PROTECTIVE STRUCTURES: ISSUES AND PRECISION TESTS

Published: May 2019

Abstract. Management of disaster scenarios requires applying emergency procedures ensuring maximum safety and protection for field operators. Actual conditions of disaster sites are labelled as “Triple-D: Dull, Dusty, Dangerous” areas. It is well known that in this kind of areas and situations remote surveying systems are at their very best effective, and among these UAVs currently are an effective and performing field tool. Indoor spaces are a particularly complex scenario for this kind of surveys. In this case, technological advances currently offer micro-UAV systems, featuring 360° protective cages, which are able to collect video streams while flying in very tight spaces. Such cases require manual control of the vehicle, with the operator piloting the aircraft without prior knowledge of the status quo of the survey object and therefore without prior planning of flight paths. A possible benefit in terms of knowledge of the survey object could lay in the creation of a 3D model based on images extracted by video streams; to date, widely tested methods and techniques are available for processing UAV-borne video streams to obtain such models. Anyway, the protective cage and the need to use, in these operating conditions, wide-angle lenses presents some issues linked to ever-changing image framing, due to the presence of the cage wires on the field of view. The present work focused on this issue. Using this type of UAVs, video streams have been collected in different environments, both indoors and outdoors, testing several procedures for photogrammetric processing in order to assess the ability to create 3D models. These have been tested for reliability based on data collection conditions, also assessing the level of automation and speed attainable in post-processing. The present paper describes the different tests carried out and the related results.

Published: May 2019

Abstract. In recent years, especially in metropolitan cities such as Istanbul, the emerging needs of the increasing population and demand for better air transportation capacity have led to big environmental changes. One of them is originated due to the construction of the new airport (Istanbul Grand Airport – IGA), located on the Black Sea coast on the European side of Turkey and expected as “The biggest hub in Europe” by the early 2020s. The construction has five phases and first construction phase is scheduled to finish up by the end of 2018. With an advanced space technologies including remote sensing, environmental consequences due to Land Use/Land Cover changes (LULC) can be monitored and determined efficiently. The aim of this paper is to analyse LULC changes especially in the forest areas and water bodies by using two different satellite image dataset. In this context, supervised classification method and different spectral indices are applied to both Landsat-8 (2013–2017) and Sentinel 2A (2015–2017) image datasets to demonstrate the total and annual changes during the construction of the first phase. The efficiency of two datasets is outlined by comparison of the output thematic map accuracies.

Abstract. The aim of this paper is to present the methodology followed and the results obtained by the synergistic exploitation of geo-information methods towards 3D mapping of the impact of the catastrophic earthquake of June 12th 2017 on the traditional settlement of Vrisa on the island of Lesvos, Greece. A campaign took place for collecting: a) more than 150 ground control points using an RTK system, b) more than 20.000 high-resolution terrestrial and aerial images using cameras and Unmanned Aircraft Systems and c) 140 point clouds by a 3D Terrestrial Laser Scanner. The Structure from Motion method has been applied on the high-resolution terrestrial and aerial photographs, for producing accurate and very detailed 3D models of the damaged buildings of the Vrisa settlement. Additionally, two Orthophoto maps and Digital Surface Models have been created, with a spatial resolution of 5 cm and 3 cm, respectively. The first orthophoto map has been created just one day after the earthquake, while the second one, a month later. In parallel, 3D laser scanning data have been exploited in order to validate the accuracy of the 3D models and the RTK measurements used for the geo-registration of all the above-mentioned datasets. The significant advantages of the proposed methodology are: a) the coverage of large scale areas; b) the production of 3D models having very high spatial resolution and c) the support of post-earthquake management and reconstruction processes of the Vrisa village, since such 3D information can serve all stakeholders, be it national and/or local organizations.
Change Detection and Prediction of Urmia Lake and its Surrounding Environment During the Past 60 Years Applying Geobased Remote Sensing Analysis
Authors: Valizadeh Kamran K. , Khorrami B.
Published: May 2019

Abstract. The gradual depletion of Urmia lake has been a challenge in both national and international scale during recent years. In recent decades the imprudent industrial development accompanied by continuous use of groundwater aquifers has been one of the most pivotal reasons for this crisis. Water level monitoring and detection of its changes within Urmia lake as well as the surrounding environment in the past 60 years integrating GIS, Remote sensing and photogrammetric methods is the main goal for this study. In order to accomplish this, Aerial Photogrammetry images and derived topographic maps from them for the year 1955, Digital Elevation data, quantitative and qualitative information regarding water wells and lake Urmia respectively and finally remotely sensed images of Landsat TM, ETM+ and OLI sensors were used. The temporal range for the study was set to 60 from the year 1955 to 2014. Scrutinizing 12 images relating to different periods, vast changes in both area and perimeter of the lake were detected. Based on the results, the lake area has decreased from 451800 hectares in 1955 to 89730 in recent years due to various causative factors. It is also found that the highest water recession, which caused increasing coastal salty areas, has been occurred in the southern parts of the lake. While the receding water level of the lake has a deep correlation with the increasing agricultural activities around the lake, it has a reverse relation with the lake water EC. These fluctuations can be detrimental to the environment, economy and society. Looking at the changes in lake Urmia, if the current situation keeps on and no drastic measures are taken, turning into a salt land, the Lake would be completely disappeared till 2033.
Regional Pliocene exhumation of the Lesser Himalaya in the Indus drainage
Authors: Clift Peter D. , Zhou Peng , Stockli Daniel F. , Blusztajn Jerzy
Published: May 2019

Abstract. New bulk sediment Sr and Nd isotope data, coupled with U–Pb dating
of detrital zircon grains from sediment cored by the International Ocean
Discovery Program in the Arabian Sea, allow the reconstruction of erosion in the
Indus catchment since ∼17 Ma. Increasing εNd values from 17 to 9.5 Ma imply relatively more erosion from the
Karakoram and Kohistan, likely linked to slip on the Karakoram Fault and
compression in the southern and eastern Karakoram. After a period of
relative stability from 9.5 to 5.7 Ma, there is a long-term decrease in
εNd values that corresponds with increasing relative
abundance of >300 Ma zircon grains that are most common in
Himalayan bedrocks. The continuous presence of abundant Himalayan zircons
precludes large-scale drainage capture as the cause of decreasing
εNd values in the submarine fan. Although the initial
increase in Lesser Himalaya-derived 1500–2300 Ma zircons after 8.3 Ma is
consistent with earlier records from the foreland basin, the much greater
rise after 1.9 Ma has not previously been recognized and suggests that
widespread unroofing of the Crystalline Lesser Himalaya and to a lesser
extent Nanga Parbat did not occur until after 1.9 Ma. Because regional
erosion increased in the Pleistocene compared to the Pliocene, the relative
increase in erosion from the Lesser Himalaya does not reflect slowing
erosion in the Karakoram and Greater Himalaya. No simple links can be made
between erosion and the development of the South Asian Monsoon, implying a
largely tectonic control on Lesser Himalayan unroofing.
Glacial cycles simulation of the Antarctic Ice Sheet
with PISM – Part 1: Boundary conditions and climatic
forcing
Authors: Albrecht Torsten , Winkelmann Ricarda , Levermann Anders
Published: May 2019

Abstract. Simulations of the glacial-interglacial history of the Antarctic Ice Sheet provide insights into dynamic threshold behavior and estimates of the ice sheet’s contributions to global sea-level changes, for both the past, present and future. However, boundary conditions are weakly constrained, in particular, at the interface of the ice-sheet and the bedrock. Also climatic forcing covering the last glacial cycles is uncertain as it is based on sparse proxy data. We use the Parallel Ice Sheet Model (PISM) to investigate the dynamic effects of different choices of input data, e.g. for modern basal heat flux or reconstructions of past changes of sea-level and surface temperature. As computational resources are limited, glacial-cycle simulations are performed using a comparably coarse model grid of 16 km and various parameterizations, e.g. for basal sliding, iceberg calving or for past variations of precipitation and ocean temperatures. In this study we evaluate the model's transient sensitivity to corresponding parameter choices and to different boundary conditions over the last two glacial cycles. It hence serves as a cookbook for the growing community of PISM users. We identify relevant model parameters and motivate plausible parameter ranges for a Large Ensemble analysis, which is described in a companion paper.

Designing Management Control Systems: Systemic vs Sectoral Approach
Authors: Popoli Paolo
Published: May 2019

Management control systems are increasingly called upon to find an appropriate balance between efficiency and flexibility, between short- and long-term orientation, between formal and informal tools and techniques. However, management control has been studied and treated, in the prevailing literature, by adopting a “sectoral” approach. In this respect, economic-financial control, organizational control, and strategic control are deeply analyzed and clearly qualified in their respective aims, methodology and tools, but at the same time are the results of a specialized and fragmented perspective. Starting from these premises, this paper aims to provide a conceptual framework for designing a management control system from a “systemic perspective”, in order to capture all economic, financial, strategic and operational dimensions of business within a unitary management control system. Methodologically, this paper is conceptual in nature, based on a qualitative analysis of the prevailing literature, aimed at providing advanced insights on this field and bases for further theoretical and empirical studies. In particular, after discussing the most significant stages in the evolution of management control systems over the last decades, this paper highlights the importance and advantages of adopting a systemic approach that facilitates a unitary management control system wherein the numerous and different dimensions of management are considered interdependent, in order to achieve an integrated equilibrium between efficiency and effectiveness, between short- and long-term performances, and to unify strategic and operational management.

El paisaje cultural de las minas de Mazarrón representa una realidad tangible forjada entre el hombre y la naturaleza a lo largo de diferentes secuencias históricas. Su capital simbólico está situado en un territorio que ha sido intensamente modificado por el dinamismo productivo y forma parte indisociable del imaginario colectivo de la población. En este artículo analizamos los avatares que ha sufrido este singular paisaje desde que concluyó su actividad industrial en la década de los años 60 del pasado siglo XX, hasta hoy. Denunciamos la escasa o nula sensibilidad que han tenido las administraciones públicas para ponerlo en valor, los incesantes ataques a su preservación desde todas partes y los difíciles problemas que tiene actualmente sin resolver.

Kuhn gjorde sig her til tals­mand for, at historiske undersøgelser kunne have betydning for videnskabs­teorien - men vel at mærke historiske undersøgelser, der tilbød mere end blot at opremse kronologi og anekdoter.

Vore gamle tropekolonier..? – Tropekolonierne som danske erindringssteder
Authors: Andersen Astrid Nonbo
Published: May 2019

The knowledge of the Danish colonial past has for a very long time played a minorrole in the general picture of Danish History in Denmark. Within the past 10-15years however the former Danish tropic colonies in the West Africa, East Indiaand the West Indies have attracted a growing number of Danish visitors in searchfor the colonial past. This has led to a number of renovation projects sponsoredby Danish agents in collaboration with the local authorities in the former tropiccolonies. This article takes its analytical starting point in the French HistorianPierre Nora’s notion of places of memory (lieux de mémoire) and deals with someof the problems of both a philosophical and political kind that spring from thesenew initiatives.
Udviklingen af rumopfattelsen 1600-2000, filosofihistoriske hovedtræk
Authors: Brock Steen
Published: May 2019

The paper tries to give a survey of the historical development of physical and philosophical ideas of space after Descartes and Newton. A special focal point is Kant´s idea of a schematism and three kinds of afterglows of this idea; the notionof a work of art, the notion of scientific model, and finally the unity of action andspace in phenomenology. The paper suggests that works within the recent spatialturn perhaps have failed to rethink the unity between material, social, and personalrelations, and that an assessment of the later Wittgenstein´s micro-phenomenologycould pave the way for a stronger “second spatial turn”.
Det populære - Redaktionelt forord
Authors: Bek-Thomsen Jakob , Grumsen Stine Slot
Published: May 2019

SLAGMARK nr. 58 handler om det populære. Om populærkultur, forskellene på høj- og lavkultur og i særdeleshed på forholdet mellem intellektuel forskning og de områder af vores kultur, vi sædvanligvis ikke anser som værende blandt de mest respekterede. Det populære lader sig vanskeligt indfange i én alt omsiggribende definition. Den klassiske skelnen mellem finkultur og lavkultur er ofte blevet kritiseret inden for en række humanvidenskabelige fagområder og samtidig har forestillingen om, at idéer og viden bevæger sig ensidigt fra højere samfundslag ud til ’pøbelen’ og ’masserne’, lidt nederlag. For forskere med interesse for det populære kan faldgruberne være mange og respekten fra det akademiske samfund være hårdt tilkæmpet.
