Journal ArticleDOI
Environmental Effects of Large Impacts on Mars
TL;DR: The martian valley networks formed near the end of the period of heavy bombardment of the inner solar system, about 3.5 billion years ago, and warmed the surface, keeping it above the freezing point of water for periods ranging from decades to millennia, depending on impactor size.
Journal ArticleDOI
Volcanic explosions and climatic change: A theoretical assessment
TL;DR: In this article, a theoretical assessment of the influence of volcanic activity on the climate is presented, and the dependence of various quantities of interest is plotted as a function of the change in the optical depth of the stratosphere at a reference wavelength.
Journal ArticleDOI
Noctilucent clouds: Simulation studies of their genesis, properties and global influences
TL;DR: In this article, a numerical model was presented for testing theories of the physical mechanisms of noctiluminescent clouds, which described the formation, evolution, and properties of the clouds as interactive ice crystals, meteoric dust, water vapor, and ionized air.
Journal ArticleDOI
Heterogeneous physicochemistry of the polar ozone hole
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the long-term ozone trend associated with physical and chemical processes in polar stratospheric clouds (PSCs) using observations from the Airborne Antarctic Ozone Experiment.
Journal ArticleDOI
Modeling coagulation among particles of different composition and size
TL;DR: In this paper, a semi-implicit solution mechanism was proposed to solve the coagulation equations over size ranges divided into any number of discrete bins, which conserves particle volume, requires no iterations, and is numerically stable.
