TL;DR: A unique decadal record of atmospheric CO2 from five sites with contrasting urban characteristics that show divergent trends in CO2 emissions across a city demonstrates that CO2 monitoring networks can provide insight into urban carbon cycle processes and provide policy-relevant information to urban stakeholders.

Stable Isotope Analysis of Precipitation Samples Obtained via Crowdsourcing Reveals the Spatiotemporal Evolution of Superstorm Sandy
TL;DR: The power of rapid-response isotope monitoring to elucidate the structure and dynamics of water cycling within synoptic-scale systems and improve the understanding of storm evolution, hydroclimatological impacts, and paleo-storm proxies is demonstrated.
Modeling Wildfire Smoke Feedback Mechanisms Using a Coupled Fire-Atmosphere Model With a Radiatively Active Aerosol Scheme
Adam K. Kochanski,Derek V. Mallia,Matthew G. Fearon,Jan Mandel,Amir Hossein Souri,Timothy J. Brown +5 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examined wildfire smoke-induced inversion episodes across Northern California were examined using a modeling framework that couples an atmospheric, chemical, and fire spread model, showing that wildfire smoke reduced incoming solar radiation during the afternoon, which lead to local surface cooling by up to 3 °C, which agrees with cooling observed at nearby surface stations.

Implications of a shrinking Great Salt Lake for dust on snow deposition in the Wasatch Mountains, UT, as informed by a source to sink case study from the 13–14 April 2017 dust event
S. McKenzie Skiles,Derek V. Mallia,A. Gannet Hallar,John C. Lin,Andrew Lambert,Ross Petersen,Steven L. Clark +6 more
TL;DR: In this article, a case study of a dust event observed in the Wasatch (13-14th April, 2017), sampled coincidentally in the air and at the snow surface at an instrumented high elevation site (Atwater Study Plot, Alta, UT). Atmospheric back-trajectory modeling, the results of which were supported by measurements, showed that dust originated predominantly from the west: the Great Salt Lake Desert and the dry lake bed.
