Study of the coupling effect of CO2 and PM2.5 emissions: A case study of yangtze river delta, China by Wengin Chung, Chao Liu

“…Many countries are confronted with the dual challenge of mitigating CO2 emissions and controlling PM2.5 pollution, attributed to the impacts of global climate change. This study explores the spatio-temporal pattern of the coupling effect between CO2 emissions and PM2.5 pollution by conducting a case study of the Yangtze River Delta (YRD) region of China and aims to identify the urban influencing factors that contribute to this coupling effect. …”

On the Considerations of Using Near Real Time Data for Space Weather Hazard Forecasting by A. W. Smith, C. Forsyth, I. J. Rae, T. M. Garton, C. M. Jackman, M. Bakrania, R. M. Shore, G. S. Richardson, C. D. Beggan, M. J. Heyns, J. P. Eastwood, A. W. P. Thomson, J. M. Johnson

“…In this work we investigate the quality and continuity of the data that are available in Near‐Real‐Time (NRT) from the Advanced Composition Explorer and Deep Space Climate Observatory (DSCOVR) spacecraft. In general, the data available in NRT corresponds well with post‐processed data, however there are three main areas of concern: greater short‐term variability in the NRT data, occasional anomalous values and frequent data gaps. …”

Spatial and seasonal distribution of selected nitrogen cycle genes in deep waters of the Baltic Proper by Michał Grabski, Michał Grabski, Ewa Kotlarska, Aneta Łuczkiewicz, Konrad Hryniewicz, Grzegorz Węgrzyn, Beata Szymczycha

“…As the microbial community structure and functional capacities remain underestimated in terms of temporal and geographical coverage in the Baltic Sea, our understanding of the nitrogen cycle with respect to ecosystem functioning and climate change is limited. Therefore, in this study, we investigated the seasonal and spatial structure of microbial community abundance involved in the nitrogen loss (denitrification, anammox), reduction processes (dissimilatory nitrate reduction (DNR), dissimilatory nitrite reduction to ammonium (DNRA), and oxidation process (nitrification) in the Baltic Proper (Bornholm Deep, Gdańsk Deep, and Gotland Deep). …”
