    Abstract Mesoscale eddy dipoles are oceanographic structures that can transport ocean water parcels horizontally and vertically in ways that differ from individual mesoscale eddies. The most conspicuous additional feature that presents in dipoles is the cold filament (CF) that can be spontaneously generated between a dipole’s anticyclonic eddy (AE) and cyclonic eddy (CE). A case study in this paper shows that the interaction between the CF and the CE component of the dipole is associated with the structural evolution of the dipole. This interaction is verified in synthesis and normalization studies of the CF dipoles. The CF-dipole interaction entrains CF water into the center of the dipole’ CE and leads to a cold and high chlorophyll center in the upper layer of the CE. The formation of this cold center changes the dipole’s structure by eliminating the phase difference between the thermal and dynamic centers of the dipole. The entrainment also provides a new mechanism for the development of high chlorophyll levels in the CE. In the analysis of the HYCOM (Hybrid Coordinate Ocean Model) simulation of a synthetic CF dipole, the AE has a three-zone structure while the CE only has two. The convergence of the CE’s outermost zone results in a biased interaction.

    Abstract Sustainable growth should not only be beneficial to the shipping industry in the future, but is also an urgent need to respond to resource and environmental crises and strengthen shipping governance. Maritime traffic in Arctic waters is prone to encounter dangerous ice conditions, and it is essential to study the mechanism of ice collision risk formation in relation to ice conditions. Taking the ship-ice collision risk in Arctic waters as the research object, we propose a dynamic assessment model of ship-ice collision risk under sea ice status dynamic association (SDA) effect. By constructing the standard paradigm of risk factor dynamic association (DA) effect, taking SDA as the key association factor. Combing with other risk factors that affect ship-ice collision accidents, the coupling relationship between risk factors were analyzed. Then, using the Bayesian network method to build a ship-ice collision accident dynamic risk assessment model and combing with the ice monitoring data in summer Arctic waters, we screen five ships’ position information on the trans-Arctic route in August. The risk behavior of ship-ice collision accidents on the selected route under SDA is analyzed by model simulation. The research reveal that the degree of SDA is a key related factor for the serious ice condition and the possibility of human error during ship’s navigation, which significantly affects the ship-ice collision risk. The traffic in Arctic waters requires extra vigilance of the SDA effect from no ice threat to ice threat, and continuous ice threat. According to the ship-ice collision risk analysis under the SDA effect and without SDA effect, the difference in risk reasoning results on the five stations of the selected route are 32.69%, −32.33%, −27.64%, −10.26%, and −30.13% respectively. The DA effect can optimize ship-ice collision risk inference problem in Arctic waters.

    Abstract Water vapor is the primary greenhouse gas of the Earth-atmosphere system and plays a vital role in understanding climate change, if correctly measured from satellites. The Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) can monitor water vapor retrievals at near-infrared (nIR) bands in the daytime as well as at infrared (IR) bands in both daytime and night time. However, the accuracy of IR retrievals under confident clear conditions (>99% probability) is much poorer than that of nIR retrievals. Additionally, IR retrievals under unconfident clear conditions (>95%, >66% and ≤66% probabilities) are usually discarded because the possible presence of clouds would further reduce their accuracy. In this study, we develop a cloud mask-related differential linear adjustment model (CDLAM) to adjust IR retrievals under all confident clear conditions. The CDLAM-adjusted IR retrievals are evaluated with the linear least square (LS) adjusted nIR retrievals under confident clear condition and Global Positioning System (GPS) observations under different probabilities of clear conditions. Both case studies in the USA and global (65° S~65° N) evaluation reveal that the CDLAM can significantly reduce uncertainties in IR retrievals at all clear-sky confidence levels. Moreover, the accuracy of the CDLAM-adjusted IR retrievals under unconfident clear conditions is much better than IR retrievals without adjustment under confident clear conditions, highlighting the effectiveness of the CDLAM in enhancing the accuracy of IR retrievals at all clear-sky confidence levels as well as the data availability improvement of IR retrievals after adjustment with the CDLAM (14% during the analyzed time periods). The most likely reason for the efficiency of the CDLAM may be that the deviation of the differential water vapor information derived by the differential process is significantly shrunken after the linear regression analysis in the presented model. Therefore, the CDLAM is a promising tool for effectively adjusting IR retrievals under all probabilities of clear conditions and can improve our knowledge of the water vapor distribution and variation.

    Abstract Surface air temperature (SAT) retrieval at 2 m using Global Positioning System (GPS) radio occultation (RO) observations is presented in this paper. These measurements were further incorporated to estimate turbulent heat fluxes. The results show that the root mean square (RMS) of RO derived SAT (SATRO) is better than 1.1°C and the standard deviation (STD) is less than 0.9°C. Furthermore, the turbulent heat fluxes derived from RO observations show smaller deviations from the Tropical moored buoys than the other gridded products analyzed in this study, revealing that the SATRO is helpful in improving surface turbulent heat flux estimation.

    Abstract The cage structure of C60 fullerenes with encapsulated metal atoms, i.e. endohedral fullerenes (M@C60) possess unique electronic properties with novel applications. By using density functional theory (DFT), we for the first time predict endohedral M@C60 (M=Na, K, Rb, Cs, Sc, Ti, Mn, Fe) fullerenes from 20 possible candidates as promising high performance hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) catalysts. For the pristine C60, the Gibbs free energy is too positive to prevent the adsorption of H-atoms on surface carbon atoms. However, when a metal atom is embedded in the C60 cage, the H-atom binding free energy on M@C60 can be optimized to ideal value for HER (ΔGH=0). The catalytic active site is non-metal C-atom and the HER performance of M@C60 are even better than those of the state-of-the-art Pt and MoS2 catalysts. The excellent catalytic activities are attributed to the charge transfer between the metal atom and C60 cage. Since the endohedral fullerenes can be easily realized in experiment, our findings highlight a new class of low-cost and efficient HER catalyst for experimental validation studies toward hydrogen production.

    Abstract Identifying catalytically active sites in graphene-based catalysts is critical to improved oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) electrocatalysts for fuel-cell applications. To generate abundant active edge sites on graphene-based electrocatalysts for superior electrocatalytic activity, rather than at their basal plane, has been a challenge. A new type of ORR electrocatalyst produced using fluidization process and based on a three-dimensional hybrid consisting of horizontally-aligned carbon nanotube and graphene (CNT-G), featured abundant active edge sites and a large specific surface area (863 m2 g−1). The Pt-doped CNT-G exhibited an increase of about 55% in mass activity over the state-of-the-art commercial Pt/C and about 164% over Pt/N-graphene in acidic medium, and approximately 54% increase in kinetic limiting current than the Pt/C at low overpotential in alkaline medium. The higher mass activity indicates that less Pt is required for the same performance, reducing the cost of fuel cell electrocatalyst. In hydrogen evolution reaction (HER), both the metal-free CNT-G and Pt/CNT-G exhibited superior electrocatalytic activity compared to N-doped graphene and commercial Pt/C, respectively.

    Abstract The development of low energy cost membranes to separate He from noble gas mixtures is highly desired. In this work, we studied He purification using recently experimentally realized, two-dimensional stanene (2D Sn) and decorated 2D Sn (SnH and SnF) honeycomb lattices by density functional theory calculations. To increase the permeability of noble gases through pristine 2D Sn at room temperature (298 K), two practical strategies (i.e., the application of strain and functionalization) are proposed. With their high concentration of large pores, 2D Sn-based membrane materials demonstrate excellent helium purification and can serve as a superior membrane over traditionally used, porous materials. In addition, the separation performance of these 2D Sn-based membrane materials can be significantly tuned by application of strain to optimize the He purification properties by taking both diffusion and selectivity into account. Our results are the first calculations of He separation in a defect-free honeycomb lattice, highlighting new interesting materials for helium separation for future experimental validation.

    Abstract Eighteen polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) were measured in surficial sediments along a marine transect from the North Pacific into the Arctic Ocean. The highest average Σ18PAHs concentrations were observed along the continental slope of the Canada Basin in the Arctic (68.3 ± 8.5 ng g−1 dw), followed by sediments in the Chukchi Sea shelf (49.7 ± 21.2 ng g−1 dw) and Bering Sea (39.5 ± 11.3 ng g−1 dw), while the Bering Strait (16.8 ± 7.1 ng g−1 dw) and Central Arctic Ocean sediments (13.1 ± 9.6 ng g−1 dw) had relatively lower average concentrations. The use of principal components analysis with multiple linear regression (PCA/MLR) indicated that on average oil related or petrogenic sources contributed ∼42% of the measured PAHs in the sediments and marked by higher concentrations of two methylnaphthalenes over the non-alkylated parent PAH, naphthalene. Wood and coal combustion contributed ∼32%, and high temperature pyrogenic sources contributing ∼26%. Petrogenic sources, such as oil seeps, allochthonous coal and coastally eroded material such as terrigenous sediments particularly affected the Chukchi Sea shelf and slope of the Canada Basin, while biomass and coal combustion sources appeared to have greater influence in the central Arctic Ocean, possibly due to the effects of episodic summertime forest fires.
