Biogenic aerosol in central East Antarctic Plateau as a proxy for the ocean-atmosphere interaction in the Southern Ocean

Silvia Becagli et al.

Summary: Based on the interpretation of ten years of biogenic aerosol data collected at Concordia Station in the East Antarctic plateau, three different scenarios can be drawn that are linked to sea ice, chlorophyll-a concentration, and the Southern Annular Mode. In early summer, biogenic aerosol is significantly correlated with sea ice retreats and increased phytoplankton biomass. In mid-summer, aerosol concentrations are low and not related to sea ice melting. In late summer, aerosol concentrations are highest and correlated with chlorophyll-a, but not sea ice. Additionally, there is significant year-to-year variability in aerosol concentrations, which is correlated with the Southern Annular Mode.

First discrete iron(II) records from Dome C (Antarctica) and the Holtedahlfonna glacier (Svalbard)

Francois Burgay et al.

Summary: Fe(II) is more soluble and bioavailable than Fe(III), and a chemiluminescence-based method was used to determine Fe(II) concentrations in firn matrices from Antarctica and Svalbard. The method showed low detection limits and good precision, with Fe(II) contributing 5% and 3% to total dissolved Fe in Antarctica and the Arctic, respectively. Fe(II) was able to accurately identify volcanic eruptions and provide insights into Fe speciation in firn matrices.

Multi-decadal trends in Antarctic sea-ice extent driven by ENSO-SAM over the last 2,000 years

Xavier Crosta et al.

Summary: Antarctic sea ice has become more extensive in the past four decades despite a warming climate. Regional climate heterogeneity in Indian Antarctic sea-ice cover over the last 2000 years is driven by multi-decadal variability of El Nino Southern Oscillation and Southern Annular Mode. Natural variability plays a crucial role in recent sea-ice trends and decadal variability in the Southern Ocean.

Sea-ice reconstructions from bromine and iodine in ice cores

Paul Vallelonga et al.

Summary: As the complexities of paleoclimate dynamics are explored, it is understood that sea-ice variability can contribute to climate change instabilities known as tipping points. Despite the importance of sea-ice in paleoclimate research, there lacks a conservative and quantitative proxy for sea-ice extent, with currently applied proxies having limitations.

Antarctic ozone hole modifies iodine geochemistry on the Antarctic Plateau

Andrea Spolaor et al.

Summary: The study presents the first iodine record from the interior of Antarctica, indicating a twofold decrease in iodine concentration in ice since the onset of the ozone hole era, suggesting that the decrease is caused by enhanced iodine re-emission from snowpack due to increased UV radiation reaching the Antarctic Plateau. This highlights the potential for ice core iodine records from the inner Antarctic Plateau to serve as an archive for past stratospheric ozone trends.

Contribution of the Southern Annular Mode to Variations in Water Isotopes of Daily Precipitation at Dome Fuji, East Antarctica

Kanon Kino et al.

Summary: Water isotopes in Antarctic ice cores provide key insights into past temperature variations, but are influenced by precipitation seasonality and episodic events. The Southern Annular Mode (SAM) significantly contributes to isotopic signals, with positive anomalies in the austral winter related to SAM's negative polarity. Daily temperature and isotopic variations in Dome Fuji are minimal in the austral summer, with SAM-driven isotopic signals being a locational feature related to large-scale atmospheric patterns.

Causes of Enhanced Bromine Levels in Alpine Ice Cores During the 20th Century: Implications for Bromine in the Free European Troposphere

M. Legrand et al.

Summary: Investigation on total bromine in alpine ice cores throughout the 20th century revealed increased concentrations in summer and winter. Lead-containing aerosols and anthropogenic CH3Br emissions were identified as major contributors to the rise in bromine levels. The findings highlight the impact of human activities on atmospheric bromine chemistry and tropospheric ozone changes.

High Resolution Chemical Stratigraphies of Atmospheric Depositions from a 4 m Depth Snow Pit at Dome C (East Antarctica)

Laura Caiazzo et al.

Summary: This study utilized different analytical techniques to analyze the chemical compositions in a 4 m deep snow pit at Dome C in Antarctica, revealing the deposition processes of the past 50 years and confirming the presence of chemical markers from various sources. Sea salt markers Na, Mg, and Sr were found to originate mainly from marine sources, while Ca, Al, and Fe originated from crustal inputs. Post-depositional processes were observed for Cl-, NO3-, and MSA, with Cl- showing a more gradual decrease compared to the other two components.

10 years of temperature and wind observation on a 45 m tower at Dome C, East Antarctic plateau

Christophe Genthon et al.

Summary: In this study, 10 years of data from a 42m tower with six levels of meteorological instrumentation near Dome C, East Antarctica, were analyzed to create a unique climatology of the near-surface atmospheric environment. The research found that seasonal differences in the near-surface boundary layer dynamics, depending on the presence or absence of solar surface forcing, play a crucial role in temperature and wind variations at the location. Additionally, observational uncertainty and comparison to ECMWF's latest reanalysis data (ERA5) highlighted the challenges in measuring wind speed accurately in remote and extreme environments such as Dome C.
