Nitrogen oxides (NOx≡ NO+ NO2) produced by lightning make a major contribution to the
global production of tropospheric ozone and OH. Lightning distributions inferred from …

Transport of air from the troposphere to the stratosphere occurs primarily in the tropics,
associated with the ascending branch of the Brewer-Dobson circulation. Here, we identify …

The causes of renewed growth in the atmospheric CH4 burden since 2007 are still poorly
