  1. So, the rain we've gotten in Southern #Maine seems pretty clear (not full of ashes), but it does not smell good. No #petrichlor . Maybe an undertone of stale smoke? Not pleasant... Also #AlkalineRain is a thing like #AcidRain. While it would seem to neutralize Acid Rain, it ends up having the opposite effect.

    Can Smoke Particles Neutralize or Enhance Acid Rain?

    Smoke can neutralize acid if it contains alkaline ash, but often provides surfaces that accelerate acid formation.

    "Smoke particles are chemically complex and can either neutralize or enhance the acidity of rain depending on their composition. Some wildfire smoke contains alkaline ash, which can help neutralize acidic gases in the atmosphere, potentially making the resulting rain less corrosive.

    "However, many smoke particles also contain #sulfur and #nitrogen compounds that act as precursors to acid formation. Furthermore, the large surface area of fine smoke particles provides a platform for acidic gases to condense and react, which can lead to more concentrated acidic deposition.

    The net effect depends on the type of fuel burned and the age of the smoke plume as it moves through the atmosphere."

    New study led by South African scientists reveals how sea-ice #microbes survive the #SouthernOcean’s harsh winter, with implications for #climateChange
    This study further reinforces the importance of the Southern Ocean marginal ice zone as a critical hotspot for global #sulfur cycling where #biogeochemical processes for climate regulation are enhanced.

  19. How Clean Air Warms the Earth

    Today, we’re exploring a microscopic landscape completely invisible to the naked eye—a world of 'ghost' particles that control both our climate and our own biology.

  24. In 2020, we rightly moved to clean our air by slashing shipping emissions. But in doing so, we triggered a 'Termination Shock'—ripping away the mask and unmasking the full heat of the planet. Today, we’re looking at how cleaning our lungs accidentally set our oceans on fire.

  29. The Termination Shock: Our Accidental Sunshield

    What if the biggest environmental win of the last decade actually hit the accelerator on global warming? We’ve spent years in a climate tug-of-war, with greenhouse gases pulling temperatures up while an invisible blanket of sulfate pollution from ships acted as an accidental sunshield, bouncing sunlight back into space.
