Summary: This study investigates the influence of carbonaceous aerosols on the extraction of organic carbon (OC) and black carbon (BC) in the Tibetan Plateau (TP). The results show that carbonaceous aerosols from different sources can affect the extraction efficiency of OC, leading to a reduction in the overestimation of BC concentrations. After considering this effect, actual BC concentrations at different sites on the TP were found to be lower than previously estimated, suggesting a lower warming effect caused by BC in this region.

Summary: Based on a comprehensive study of snowpit samples from ten glaciers across the Tibetan Plateau, this research provides new knowledge on the estimation of albedo reduction caused by black carbon, water-insoluble organic carbon, and mineral dust. The study divides the Tibetan Plateau into three sub-regions based on the albedo reductions caused by the three light-absorbing particles. The findings emphasize the important role of mineral dust in glacier darkening across most of the Tibetan Plateau and the dominant contribution of non-black carbon components in the light-absorbing particle-related glacier melting.

Summary: The study found that biomass burning and biogenic aerosols are important sources of organic aerosols in the inland Tibetan Plateau, with significant seasonal and diurnal variations. During winter, biomass burning is mainly transported from South Asia, while biogenic secondary organic aerosols and fungal spores are mainly from local emissions and long-range transport during summer. Understanding organic aerosols in the Tibetan Plateau can help reduce uncertainties in assessing aerosol effects on the climate system in this region.

Summary: This study conducted intensive measurements at Nam Co station on the Tibetan Plateau and found that new particle formation events were frequent during the summer monsoon season, mostly driven by organic involvement in the nucleation process. The occurrence of new particle formation events was limited during the pre-monsoon season compared to the monsoon season. These results emphasize the importance of considering the seasonal effect of new particle formation when simulating aerosol and cloud condensation nuclei quantities in the high-altitude atmosphere.

Summary: This study synthesizes a variety of perovskite-type titanates (MTiO3, M = Zn, and Mn) and loads them onto functionalized magnetic graphene oxide (EDFG) to produce MTiO3 @EDFG nanocomposites. The materials were fully characterized, and the MTiO3 @EDFG nanocomposites were found to exhibit enhanced photocatalytic activity for the degradation of Rhodamine B under visible light irradiation. The enhanced activity was attributed to the inhibition of nanoparticle aggregation, improved electron transfer, increased surface area, and extended absorption range.

Summary: This study analyzed the changes in river discharge and sea ice in the Kara and Laptev Seas from 1979 to 2019. The results showed that there were significant increases in discharge and heat from the rivers, while the sea ice concentration decreased. The changes in discharge and riverine heat mainly affected the initial and final stages of sea-ice melting. The cumulative riverine heat from May to September had a large impact on the sea ice changes in the Kara and Laptev Seas. However, the contribution of river discharge changes to the reduction in sea ice concentration was limited at annual scales.

Summary: Reliable precipitation information is crucial for scientific and operational applications. Open-access gridded precipitation products (OGPPs) are important sources due to their continuous spatiotemporal coverage. This study proposes a methodology to comprehensively compare the accuracies and stabilities of ten different OGPPs, particularly in mountainous basins. The results show high accuracy but unstable performance of all OGPPs, with multi-source fusion-type products offering better stability and accuracy. Multi-source weighted-ensemble precipitation and climate prediction center morphing method products exhibit the best comprehensive performance.

Summary: This study, based on reanalysis data from 1980 to 2019, reveals that the relationship between autumn sea ice concentration in the Barents-Kara Seas (BKSIC) and subsequent winter North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO) underwent an interdecadal weakening in the early 1990s. The weakening can be attributed to the decrease in the interannual variability of BKSIC, which leads to a discrepancy in the tropospheric warming. In the former period (1980-1993), the decrease in autumn BKSIC enhances tropospheric warming and weakens the circumpolar westerly, resulting in a negative NAO phase. However, in the latter period (1994-2019), the smaller interannual variability of BKSIC weakens its influence on the tropospheric temperature, diluting the relationship with the subsequent winter NAO.
