Simulating the Journey of Pollen in the Atmosphere - Eos

3 years ago by fossilesque to c/earthscience

A new study couples an emission and transport scheme of pollen from vegetation, and explores pollen’s evolution in different atmospheric conditions and its impacts on clouds and precipitation.

Very neat! Interesting to consider the rupture of pollens through "osmotic shock" and lightning. I wonder if these can make up significant populations of accumulation mode particles. Single particle fluorescence should be able to answer that. And, even if numbers are low, might they be efficient cloud nuclei?

What is geoscience?

Geoscience (also called Earth Science) is the study of Earth. Geoscience includes so much more than rocks and volcanoes, it studies the processes that form and shape Earth's surface, the natural resources we use, and how water and ecosystems are interconnected. Geoscience uses tools and techniques from other science fields as well, such as chemistry, physics, biology, and math! Read more...
