. Geophysical Research Letters, 42(11), 4270–4279.
Abstract: We present a conjunction between the Swarm fleet and the European Incoherent Scatter Svalbard Radar (ESR) on 9 January 2014. The Swarm orbit in the early phase of the mission gives us the unique opportunity of sequencing the temporal evolution of the observed field-aligned current system in the nightside, near magnetic local midnight. These field-aligned currents are seen to move poleward through the radar field of view and to affect the observed ionosphere. The upward field-aligned current (FAC) is responsible, at least in part, for the heating of the ionospheric electrons. It is less clear whether the downward FAC cools the ionosphere. We use the TRANSCAR model of the ionosphere to quantify the thermoelectric effect that comes into play. Finally, we compare the plasma parameters measured by the Langmuir probe on board Swarm and the ESR and conclude on an agreement within the errors.

Wang Z, Chappellaz J, Park K, Mak J E, . (2010). Large Variations in Southern Hemisphere Biomass Burning During the Last 650 Years.
. Science, 330(6011), 1663–1666.
Abstract: We present a 650-year Antarctic ice core record of concentration and isotopic ratios ((13)C and (18)O) of atmospheric carbon monoxide. Concentrations decreased by ~25% (14 ppbv) from mid-1300s to the 1600s, then recovered completely by the late 1800s. (13)C and (18)O decreased by about 2 and 4 respectively from mid-1300s to the 1600s, then increase by about 2.5 and 4 by the late 1800s. These observations and isotope mass balance model results imply that large variations in the degree of biomass burning in the Southern Hemisphere occurred during the last 650 years, with a decrease by about 50% in the 1600s, an increase of about 100% by the late 1800s, and another decrease by about 70% from the late 1800s to present day.

Abstract: We measured halide concentrations of snow and frost flowers in the vicinity of Barrow, Alaska. We find that the ratio of bromide to sodium in frost flowers is slightly enhanced (?10%) as compared to sea water. In contrast, the ratio of bromide to sodium in some snow samples is more than an order of magnitude enhanced, and in other samples is more than an order of magnitude depleted. We interpret the bromide depleted snow as having been processed by heterogeneous chemistry and providing reactive halogen compounds to the atmosphere. The eventual end product of reactive bromine chemistry is HBr that is then deposited over a wide region, enhancing bromide in inland snow samples. Although frost flowers or open leads are likely to be the original source of halides that become reactive halogen gases, we find that the bromide release often occurs subsequent to production of aerosol from marine sources.

Bozda Ebru, Trampert Jeannot, . (2010). Assessment of tomographic mantle models using spectral element seismograms
. 0956-540X, 180(3), 1187–1199.
Abstract: We investigated the agreement between real seismograms and those predicted by long wavelength mantle models by looking at phase and amplitude differences. We computed full synthetic seismograms using a spectral element method together with 3-D mantle models and the appropriate crustal model on top. We selected differently damped mantle models to see the effect of regularization on the computed seismograms. To check the phase agreement, we measured time-shifts between the real and synthetic surface waves and body wave phases such as P, S and SS using a cross-correlation technique. We also compared the amplitudes of the real and synthetic seismograms to understand how well the models explain not only the phases, but the whole waveforms. 3-D mantle models improve the phase agreement of surface waves in particular. The remaining misfit, however, is still so large that we cannot distinguish between different tomographic models. We suggest that this is mainly due to an imperfect modelling of the crust, and/or source location if body waves are included, which have to be addressed in future inversions. Amplitude mismatches are large, regardless which 3-D mantle model is used. We observe that 3-D scattering or focusing/defocusing effects can only explain half of the surface wave amplitudes whereas body wave amplitudes are dominated by scattering effects. 1-D Q models, particularly in the crust and upper-mantle, strongly affect surface wave amplitudes and have to be modelled properly.
