Great to see our paper out in @NatureComms 🎉 We observed high #isoprene concentrations in the @_SouthernOcean 🌊 linked to air masses from the marginal ice zone. Comparing with models, we found current emission estimates needed at least a 20x increase to account for obs... 🧵1/4

🚨 New paper alert - a review on the key biases and correction methods for low-cost sensors applied to #airquality. Comparisons between different studies are made difficult by the lack of a standardised approach to calibration/correction https://t.co/oVdcmaHi0r

Atmospheric modellers - has anyone looked at the impact of emissions from seaweed farms under different growth scenarios? Wondering if enough #DMS or #BVOCs can be emitted to impact #Climate? 🤔

[Chemistry World @ChemistryWorld]

Seaweed is the ideal crop because it grows fast and doesn’t require fertilisers, pesticides, freshwater or land. But that doesn’t mean it’s risk free. Cultivating seaweed on a larger scale could disrupt the oceans’ ecosystems.

I would like to introduce our new paper in Nature Communications, which is the result of a highly successful international collaboration with @VOLT_center , @Riikka_Rinnan , @atzukac , @LundJing , @lejishvettikkat , and other great collaborators. We found that the sedges in the Arctic have a different temperature response curve compared to other known isoprene emitters, which explains the high temperature sensitivity of isoprene emission observed through whole-ecosystem flux measurements. By integrating our findings, the updated model predicted a 20% increase in isoprene emissions from the high-latitude regions in the Northern Hemisphere. We also found that the existing model had underestimated the long-term trend of isoprene emissions by 55% for high-latitude regions with Arctic warming https://t.co/sAvAbye4Gx.

@Pana34161801 @ticketek_uk We've had the same problem (gig tonight 22/06) - turns out you need to download the O2 venue app, register with the same email address you used on Ticketek, then sign in and hopefully your tickets will be there. Would've been useful if they told ppl about this

[Valerio Ferracci @atmos_vf]

@RunningCardinal @RimaHabre_ScD It was amazing, great views of the area

[Valerio Ferracci @atmos_vf]

As I make my way back to the UK, I look back on the last week spent at #ASIC2024. Great to see colleagues old and new 👥, to hear about community projects on #airquality and the latest developments in #sensors and #standardisation 📊. Until next year 👋"

[Valerio Ferracci @atmos_vf]

@RunningCardinal @RimaHabre_ScD Saw this under #ASIC2024 and decided to go today, thanks for the tip!

... and it only emerged in its current form after a conversation with @Atmos_Pem in front of my poster at @IGACProject 2022 about using @UkesmProject to model marine isoprene. A big thank you to all involved @Atmos_Pem @simolab_ @pablorros_ @gatamagat 4/4

This work was a long time in the making, starting almost 8 years (and 3 jobs!) ago when our portable gas chromatograph #iDirac first set sail on the @ACE_Expedition🚢 (pics by Conor Bolas 📸) 3/4
