Beyond aerosolization: How antibiotic concentration and redox cycling amplify antibiotic resistance genes in wastewater treatment plant bioaerosols

Abstract Wastewater treatment plants are emission hotspots of airborne antibiotic resistance genes, yet the physicochemical drivers of their amplification remain unclear. Here, we quantified airborne antibiotics and oxidative potential (OP) in particulate matter above an aeration...

A Numerical Study on the Motion of Snow Aggregates Freely Falling in Air

Abstract This paper reports the results of the first quantitative study on the flow fields of freely falling snow aggregates. The motions are investigated by performing numerical simulations of four snow aggregate models consisting of 2, 3, 4, and 5 conformally shaped dendrites o...

Enhancing air–sea CO 2 exchange and modulating seawater carbonate–pH dynamics: the role of wave effect mechanisms in the POP2–waves coupled model

Abstract. In this study, a wave module is online-coupled into the Parallel Ocean Program version 2 (POP2) within the CESM1.2.2 framework (hereafter POP2–waves). Unlike empirical data analyses of observation-based products and offline-forced ocean models that treat wave-induced ga...
