Published: September 2024

Abstract. The air–sea exchange of ozone (O3) is controlled by chemistry involving halogens, dissolved organic carbon, and sulfur in the sea surface microlayer. Calculations also indicate faster ozone photolysis at aqueous surfaces, but the role of clouds as an ozone sink is currently not well established. Fast-response ozone sensors offer opportunities to measure eddy covariance (EC) ozone fluxes in the marine boundary layer. However, intercomparisons of fast airborne O3 sensors and EC O3 fluxes measured on aircraft have not been conducted before. In April 2022, the Technological Innovation Into Iodine and GV Environmental Research (TI3GER) field campaign deployed three fast ozone sensors (gas chemiluminescence and a combination of UV absorption with coumarin chemiluminescence detection, CID) together with a fast water vapor sensor and anemometer to study iodine chemistry in the troposphere and stratosphere over Colorado and over the Pacific Ocean near Hawaii and Alaska. Here, we present an instrument comparison between the NCAR Fast O3 instrument (FO3, gas-phase CID) and two KIT Fast AIRborne Ozone instruments (FAIRO, UV absorption and coumarin CID). The sensors have comparable precision < 0.4 % Hz−0.5 (0.15 ppbv Hz−0.5), and ozone volume mixing ratios (VMRs) generally agreed within 2 % over a wide range of environmental conditions: 10 < O3 < 1000 ppbv, below detection < NOx < 7 ppbv, and 2 ppmv < H2O < 4 % VMR. Both instrument designs are demonstrated to be suitable for EC flux measurements and were able to detect O3 fluxes with exchange velocities (defined as positive for upward) as slow as −0.010 ± 0.004 cm s−1, which is in the lower range of previously reported measurements. Additionally, we present two case studies. In one, the direction of ozone and water vapor fluxes was reversed (vO3 = +0.134 ± 0.005 cm s−1), suggesting that overhead evaporating clouds could be a strong ozone sink. Further work is needed to better understand the role of clouds as a possibly widespread sink of ozone in the remote marine boundary layer. In the second case study, vO3 values are negative (varying by a factor of 6–10 from −0.036 ± 0.006 to −0.003 ± 0.004 cm s−1), while the water vapor fluxes are consistently positive due to evaporation from the ocean surface and spatially homogeneous. This case study demonstrates that the processes governing ozone and water vapor fluxes can become decoupled and illustrates the need to elucidate possible drivers (physical, chemical, or biological) of the variability in ozone exchange velocities on fine spatial scales (∼ 20 km) over remote oceans.

Abstract. In the last 60 years, the largest displacement of the magnetic equator (by about 1100 km northwards) occurred in the Brazilian longitudinal sector. The magnetic equator passed by Tatuoca magnetic observatory (TTB) in northern Brazil in 2012 and continues to move northward. Due to the horizontal geomagnetic field geometry at the magnetic equator, enhanced electric currents in the ionosphere are produced – the so-called equatorial electrojet (EEJ). The magnetic effect of the EEJ is observed in the range of ±3° from the magnetic equator, where magnetic observatories record an amplified daily variation of the H component. In order to track the spatial and temporal variation of this phenomena, a new magnetometer station was installed in Macapá (MAA), which is about 350 km northwest of TTB. In this paper, we present the setup and data analysis of MAA station from November 2019 until September 2021. Because of its special configuration, we develop a method for temperature correction of the vector magnetometer data.

Published: September 2024

Abstract. Understanding coastal flood protection is crucial for assessing risks from natural hazards and climate change. However, there is a significant lack of quantitative data on coastal flood protection and their standards. FLOPROS, currently the only global database of flood protection standards, relies on limited coastal observations and simplified assumptions. Despite these limitations, it is widely used by the research community, leading to potential uncertainties in impact estimates. We propose that a new community-driven effort is needed to develop a more complete dataset, and we present COASTPROS-EU, a dataset compiling coastal flood protection standards within Europe. This effort further highlights the urgent need for enhanced information. Establishing an accurate dataset requires using both bottom-up and top-down approaches and ensuring diverse societal representation.
Insights into the prediction uncertainty of machine-learning-based digital soil mapping through a local attribution approach
Authors: Rohmer Jeremy , Belbeze Stephane , Guyonnet Dominique
Published: September 2024

Abstract. Machine learning (ML) models have become key ingredients for digital soil mapping. To improve the interpretability of their predictions, diagnostic tools such as the widely used local attribution approach known as SHapley Additive exPlanations (SHAP) have been developed. However, the analysis of ML model predictions is only one part of the problem, and there is an interest in obtaining deeper insights into the drivers of the prediction uncertainty as well, i.e. explaining why an ML model is confident given the set of chosen covariate values in addition to why the ML model delivered some particular results. In this study, we show how to apply SHAP to local prediction uncertainty estimates for a case of urban soil pollution – namely, the presence of petroleum hydrocarbons in soil in Toulouse (France), which pose a health risk via vapour intrusion into buildings, direct soil ingestion, and groundwater contamination. Our results show that the drivers of the prediction best estimates are not necessarily the drivers of confidence in these predictions, and we identify those leading to a reduction in uncertainty. Our study suggests that decisions regarding data collection and covariate characterisation as well as communication of the results should be made accordingly.

Abstract. Regional variations in the mass component of sea level (manometric sea level) are intimately linked with the changes in the water cycle, volume transports, and inter-basin exchanges. Here, we investigate the consistency at the regional level of the manometric sea level from the Copernicus Marine Service Global Reanalysis Ensemble Product (GREP) and compare with observation-based products deduced from either gravimetry (GRACE missions) or altimetry and in situ ocean observations (sea level budget, SLB, approach) for some climate-relevant diagnostics such as interannual variability, trends, and seasonal amplitude. The analysis is performed for three basins (the Mediterranean Sea and Arctic and North Atlantic oceans) and indicates very different characteristics across the three. The Mediterranean Sea exhibits the largest interannual variability, the Arctic Ocean the largest trends, and the North Atlantic a nearly linear increase that is highly correlated to global barystatic sea level variations. The three datasets show significant consistency at both the seasonal and the interannual timescales, although the differences in the linear trends are sometimes significant (e.g. GRACE overestimates the trend in the Arctic and underestimates it in the Mediterranean Sea when compared to the other products). Furthermore, the Gravity Recovery and Climate Experiment (GRACE) and GREP data prove to be mutually more consistent than SLB in most cases. Finally, we analyse the main modes of climate variability affecting the manometric sea level variations over the selected ocean basins through regularised regression; the North Pacific Gyre Oscillation, the Arctic Oscillation, and the Atlantic Multidecadal Oscillation are proven to be the most influential modes for the North Atlantic Ocean, Mediterranean Sea, and Arctic Ocean manometric sea levels, respectively.

Abstract. The Mediterranean Sea is a quasi-permanently stratified and oligotrophic basin with intense late-winter and early-spring phytoplankton blooms typically limited to few regions (i.e. northwestern Mediterranean Sea, the southern Adriatic Sea, and the Rhodes Gyre). In these areas, blooms are sustained by nutrient injection to surface layers by winter vertical mixing and convective processes. A markedly intense bloom was predicted in spring 2022 in an unusual area of the southeastern Mediterranean Sea (i.e. southeast of Crete) by the Mediterranean Sea Copernicus Marine Forecasting Centre (MED MFC) system. Combining Copernicus modelling and observation products, the 2022 event and a number of driving and concurrent features have been investigated in a multidisciplinary way. A noticeable cold spell that occurred in Eastern Europe at the beginning of 2022 has been identified as the main driver of an intense deep-water formation event, with associated high nutrient concentrations in the surface layers. Consequently, an extreme phytoplankton bloom that was 50 % more intense than usual occurred in the area southeast of Crete, starting nearly 1 month later than usual and lasting for 3–4 weeks. Impacts on primary production were also relevant in the 2022 event area and were 35 % higher than the climatological annual primary production. Furthermore, the documented link between primary productivity and fishery catches suggests possible consequences along the whole food chain up to the marine ecosystem in the eastern Mediterranean Sea.
Characterization of marine heat waves in the Iberia–Biscay–Ireland (IBI) region in 2022
Authors: Castrillo-Acuña Lluís , Alonso-Valle Axel , de Pascual-Collar Álvaro
Published: September 2024

Abstract. Marine heat waves (MHWs) are defined as prolonged periods of anomalously high sea surface temperatures. These events have a profound impact on marine ecosystems, resulting in ecological and economic impacts such as coral bleaching, reduced surface chlorophyll due to increased surface layer stratification, mass mortality of marine invertebrates due to heat stress, rapid species migrations, and fishery closures or quota changes, among others. This research focuses on the study of the MHWs that occurred in the IBI (Iberia–Biscay–Ireland) region during the year 2022, assessing their climatologic properties, analyzing the mean values for the year 2022, and discretizing the events in four subregions representative of the entire domain. Satellite-derived sea surface temperature data were used to detect and characterize the events, revealing that in some areas the year 2022 showed peak anomaly values of (i) 15 MHW events, (ii) 128 d of mean durations, and (iii) 261 total days of MHWs. Through observational and modeling data, the discrete events located in the Bay of Biscay were also examined in the subsurface layers, demonstrating a strong seasonal modulation and heat diffusion through deeper layers, where cold-season events reach higher MHW mean depth values and subsurface positive anomalies of temperature can remain for weeks once an MHW has ended.

Abstract. In this paper, the Copernicus Ocean State Report offers detailed scientific analysis of the ocean under climate change, ocean variability, and ocean extremes in the northeastern Atlantic and adjacent seas. Major results show that the northeastern Atlantic Ocean and adjacent seas have experienced consistent warming, with sea surface temperatures increasing at a rate of 0.25 ± 0.03 °C per decade since 1982, doubling the global average trend. This warming is most pronounced in the Black Sea, Mediterranean Sea, and Baltic Sea. Sea levels have risen significantly over the past 30 years, particularly in the Baltic and Mediterranean seas. Ocean acidification has also increased, with pH decreasing at a rate of −0.017 ± 0.001 units per decade. Marine heatwaves have intensified and expanded, affecting over 60 % of the region in 2022 and 2023. Over the past 16 years, most extreme wind speeds exceeding 22 m s−1 prevailed in the central and subpolar North Atlantic and northern Mediterranean Sea. The region has also seen significant variability in ocean climate indicators and circulation patterns, including increased Atlantic Water transport to the Arctic Ocean through the Fram Strait and notable variations in the Mediterranean Sea's meridional overturning circulation. No major Baltic inflow occurred in winter 2022/23.
Changes in the Gulf Stream path over the last 3 decades

Published: September 2024

Abstract. The Gulf Stream transports warm waters from low to high latitudes in the North Atlantic Ocean, impacting Europe's climate. This study investigates the changing pattern of the Gulf Stream over the last 3 decades as observed in the altimetric record (1993–2022) using monthly averaged altimetry maps together with the outputs from an ocean reanalysis product. The seasonal and yearly evolution of the coordinates (destabilization point) where the Gulf Stream starts to meander and convert from a stable to an unstable detached jet is investigated. At the seasonal scale, the location of this destabilization point presents zonal shifts displacing the Gulf Stream path to the north in summer and fall and to the south in winter and spring. In addition, it presents variations at interannual scale and has varied by more than 1400 km in longitude, showing meridional shifts of 300 km over the altimetric era: it exhibits a low-frequency remarkable shift westward and southward between 1995 and 2012. From that year, the destabilization point displacement inverses, exhibiting a previously unreported migration eastward and northward that translates into a larger fraction of the stable detached jet to the detriment of the unstable meandering jet. Changes in the Gulf Stream path impact both associated mesoscale eddy kinetic energy and waters transported towards the subpolar North Atlantic. The observed shifts of the path destabilization point seem to be linked to North Atlantic Oscillation variability during winter that may play an important role: it presents a negative trend associated with a shift from a positive to a negative phase between 1995 and 2011 and an opposite behavior from a negative to a positive phase from that year until 2020 in agreement with the associated southwestward and northeastward observed migration of the destabilization point.
Surface and bottom marine heatwave characteristics in the Barents Sea: a model study
Authors: Lien Vidar S. , Raj Roshin P. , Chatterjee Sourav
Published: September 2024

Abstract. Anomalously warm oceanic events, often termed marine heatwaves (MHWs), can potentially impact the ecosystem in the affected region and have therefore become a hot topic for research in recent years. Determining the intensity and spatial extent of marine heatwaves, however, depends on the definition and climatological average used. Moreover, the stress applied by the heatwave to the marine ecosystem will depend on which component of the ecosystem is considered. Here, we utilize a model reanalysis (1991–2022) to explore the frequency, intensity, and duration of marine heatwaves in the Barents Sea, as well as regional heterogeneities. We find that major marine heatwaves are rather coherent throughout the region, but surface marine heatwaves occur more frequently while heatwaves on the ocean floor have a longer duration. Moreover, we investigate the sensitivity to the choice of climatological average length when calculating marine heatwave statistics. Our results indicate that severe marine heatwaves may become more frequent in a future Barents Sea due to ongoing climate change.

Authors: Tyagi Divya , Schmitz Sven
Published: September 2024

Abstract. The present work is an amendment to Glauert's optimum rotor disk solution for the maximum power coefficient, CPmax, as a function of tip speed ratio, λ. First, an alternate mathematical approach is pursued towards the optimization problem by means of calculus of variations. Secondly, analytical solutions for thrust and bending moment coefficients, CT and CBe, are derived, where an interesting characteristic is revealed pertaining to their asymptotic behavior. In addition, the limit case of the non-rotating actuator disk for λ → 0 is shown for all three performance coefficients by repeated use of L'Hôpital's theorem.

Published: September 2024

Researchers have increasingly focused on the impact of energy poverty across various sectors of the economy. This paper aims to identify the determinants of household energy poverty in Central and Southern Punjab, Pakistan, utilizing the Pakistan Demographic and Health Survey Data from 2017-18. The analysis employs descriptive statistics and binary logistic regression to assess the influence of various socioeconomic and demographic factors on multidimensional energy poverty. The survey results indicate a disparity between the two regions, with just over 50 percent of respondents reporting energy poverty. The education level of the household head, wealth status, and place of residence are critical factors influencing multidimensional energy poverty. The findings highlight the substantial influence of socioeconomic factors on household energy poverty and underscore the necessity for effective policies to address these challenges.
The Necessity to Calculate the Impact of Climate Risks on Determining the Cadastral Assessment of Agricultural Lands
Authors: Hovhannisyan Tigran , Efendyan Paruyr , Khudaverdyan Nane
Published: September 2024

Armenia, with its entire territory, is considered the most sensitive country to climate change. The land tax rate for agricultural lands is determined at 15 percent of the estimated net income determined by their cadastral assessment. The cadastral assessment of agricultural lands in the Republic of Armenia was carried out in 2002-2004.During the assessment, the materials of land management, soil science, geobotanical, and other studies and research conducted in the 1970-1980s were taken as a basis. The article presents the results of research and analysis conducted by the authors during 2020-2023, on the impact of climate risks on the yield and quality of crops on agricultural lands in the Republic of Armenia. As a result of the research, it turns out that among climate risks, the greatest damage to agricultural lands in the Republic of Armenia is caused by frost, hail, and drought, which affects the quantity and quality of crops from agricultural lands, and consequently the income received, which, however, does not reduce the tax burden of the landowner. As a result of the research, to modernize the assessment methodology in the process of calculating net income, it is recommended to adopt the revised calculation method developed and proposed by the authors using risk reduction coefficients (climate risks).

Background: Prosthetic treatment in case of complete edentulism has the task of restoring the lost chewing function, speech and breathing and preventing the appearance or deepening of the reduction changes of both the soft tissues and the bones in the maxillofacial region, as well as restoring the aesthetic appearance and improving the psyche of the patient The aim of the present pilot study is to evaluate the satisfaction with treatment with complete dentures articulated with articulation paper and the T-SCAN system, which will serve as the basis for a large-scale cross-sectional study. Material and methods: The study includes a sample of 20 completely edentulous patients. The sample consisted of 10 women and 10 men. The studied patients were randomly divided into two groups of 10 people each. The patients were interviewed post treatment [at 5 weeks], a validated questionnaire about oral health-related quality of life in edentulous people [OHIP-EDENT] was applied. Results: The digital occlusal analysis provides more accurate information on the articulation of the prostheses, as it indicates the teeth with increased force in percentages and also the sequence of occurrence of the occlusal contacts. Analysis of occlusal contacts is subjective, and articulating them with this method carries error risks.When using the T-Scan system, patients are more satisfied than the treatment with total patients, as they feel the prostheses are much more comfortable and in much fewer visits. Conclusion: This quantitative methodology can be used as the method of choice for control of occluso-articulation relationships in treatment with total dentures in any dental practice, if technically possible

Evaluating the Impact of Barging Activity on Road Decongestion in Apapa Lagos Nigeria: A Case Study of AP Moller Terminal Ltd
Authors:   University of Lagos, Nigeria, Ege Emmanuel , Ajibade Fatai
Published: September 2024

The impact of barge transport in the evacuation of port cargoes from the Lagos Port Complex at Apapa in Lagos Nigeria is examined. Traffic gridlock extending from port congestion had made life difficult for inhabitants and users of the port city since the mid-1990s, especially when petrol tanker trucks began to rely on direct loading of refined petroleum products from the port and the petrol tank farms located all over the city. Despite the predominance of waterways, inland waterway transportation had not been well developed leading to intense traffic and commuter problems. Primary and secondary sources of data were used with quantitative and qualitative analytical methodology and analysis of variance (ANOVA) modelling. The findings include the substantial difference made by barges in the transfer of containers to various parts of the Lagos which demonstrably removed many lorries and trucks from the overstretched roads. The conclusion analyzed the impact of a systematic introduction of full barging services in the sea trade of the country and port city dwellers especially.

Background: Disseminated peritoneal leiomyomatosis (DPL) is a variant of parasitic leiomyomas that is characterized by multiple peritoneal and subperitoneal nodules of proliferating smooth muscle cells that histologically resemble uterine leiomyoma. We report a case of recurrent DPL to highlight its diagnostic and therapeutic challenges at the Federal Medical Centre, Keffi, Nigeria.

Case Report: The patient is a 25-year-old woman with a previous history of myomectomy 3 years before presentation to the hematology unit on account of abdominal lymphoma. Based on the working diagnosis, she was referred to the general surgery unit for an open biopsy and cytoreductive surgery. She was explored, and intraoperative findings were in keeping with multiple well-circumscribed intra-abdominal masses of varying sizes. The multiple and widespread locations of the masses precluded the complete removal of the masses. Four months post-surgery, she presented with similar lesions and had a repeat laparotomy. At the surgery, she had a total abdominal hysterectomy with bilateral salpingophorectomy and excision of the abdominal masses. She was then placed on letrozole, which prevented further tumor growth and abated her symptoms.

Discussion: DPL is often rarely diagnosed preoperatively and thus poses a diagnostic challenge, with many cases asymptomatic and therapeutic challenges due to its tendency to recur. Its management currently lacks consensus and is often determined by many factors, such as the age of the patients, the number of nodules, and the desire to have more children, among others. Surgical excision combined with hormonal therapy is recommended for patients who wish to conceive. For postmenopausal women and those who no longer desire conception, total abdominal hysterectomy with bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy should be considered to prevent recurrence.

Conclusion: DPL is a rare form of multiple extrauterine leiomyomas. We report a case of DPL in a woman that was managed with surgical intervention and hormonal manipulation therapy following the failure of the initial surgical excision alone. We thus suggest a combination of surgical intervention and postoperative hormonal manipulation in its management, as such a multi-modality of therapy was employed in the index case without evidence of recurrence after a year post-surgery.
Mathematical analysis of Ebola considering transmission at treatment centres and survivor relapse using fractal-fractional Caputo derivatives in Uganda

In this article, we seek to formulate a robust mathematical model to study the Ebola disease through fractal-fractional operators. The study thus incorporates the transmission rate in the treatment centers and the relapse rate, since the Ebola virus persists or mostly hides in the immunologically protected sites of survivors. The Ebola virus disease (EVD) is one of the infectious diseases that has recorded a high death rate in countries where it is endemic, and Uganda is not an exception. The world at large has suffered from this deadly disease since 1976 when it was declared epidemic by the World Health Organization. The study employed fractal-fractional operators to identify the epidemiological patterns of EVD, especially in treatment centers and relapse. Memory loss and relapse are mostly observed in EVD survivors and this justifies the use of fractional operators to capture the true dynamics of the disease. Through dynamical analysis, the model is proven to be positive and bounded in the region. The model is further explicitly shown to have a solution that is unique and stable. The reproduction number was duly computed by using the next-generation matrix approach. By taking EVD epidemic cases in Uganda, the study fitted all parameters to real data. It has been shown through sensitivity index analysis that the transmission rate outside treatment centers and relapse have a significant effect on the endemic state of the disease, as they lead to an increase in the basic reproduction ratio.

On The “Figurative” Use of the Pronoun “I”
Authors: Tigranovich Zolyan
Published: September 2024

It is generally accepted that the pronoun “I” can only refer to the speaker, and cannot be used in any other way. However, as demonstrated in the article, the “figurative” use of the pronoun “I” is also possible, when a discrepancy between the use of this pronoun and the designation of the speaker may occur. The prgma semantic basis for the possibility of such use is the dual, or two-component reference of the pronoun “I”, which simultaneously indicates the speaker in the hypostasis of the subject of speech (utterance) and as the subject of the sentence. In the most general form, this distinction can be represented as a distinction between performative and descriptive aspects of usage; and this makes it possible to simultaneously carry out semiotically different operations of self- and other- reference. At the same time, in special modal contexts, it is possible to separate these aspects, which may cause polysemy and the figurative (metaphorical) use of the pronoun “I”.
