The photolysis of snowpack nitrate (NO3–) is an important source of gaseous reactive
nitrogen species that affect atmospheric oxidants, particularly in remote regions. However, it …

Structural changes in hydrocarbon-doped water-ice during amorphous to crystalline phase
conversion are investigated using polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) as probes. We …

Much attention has focused on the highly reactive hydroxyl radical in the oxidation of trace
organic compounds on snow and ice (and subsequent release of volatile organics to the …

Photochemical reactions in snow can have an important impact on the composition of the
atmosphere over snow-covered areas as well as on the composition of the snow itself. One …

Photochemically induced emissions from the surfaces of snow and ice crystals are known to
alter the composition of the troposphere. In particular, photolysis of the nitrate anion in snow …

Upon freezing aqueous solutions, dissolved solutes are forced into small liquid regions
within the frozen ice. This phenomenon affects solute concentrations, solution pH and can …

The benzhydryl radical is generated in high yields by flash-vacuum thermolysis of 1, 1, 2, 2-
tetraphenylethane with subsequent trapping of the product in argon or amorphous water at 3 …

The significance of photochemically active solar radiation is well substantiated in Earth's air
and water environments, but no broad connection has yet been ascertained between …

Snow and ice in Earth's cryosphere greatly affects the overlaying atmosphere. Sunlit natural
snowpack and ice surfaces may emit a wide range of trace gases, such as reactive nitrogen …

The Arctic seasonal snowpack can extend at times over a third of the Earth's land surface.
This chemically dynamic environment interacts with different environmental compartments …
