The unprecedented surge in #atmospheric #methane during the early 2020s was primarily driven by a temporary decline in #hydroxyl (OH) radicals, which reduced the atmosphere's ability to break down the gas, coupled with increased natural emissions from wetlands due to wetter #climate conditions.

Why methane surged in the early 2020s

Methane is the second most important human-driven greenhouse gas after carbon dioxide

☄️Comet 3I/ATLAS shows Signs of Water.

Since its arrival this summer, scientists have been racing to understand as much as possible about 3I/ATLAS, the third recorded visitor from outside our solar system. A breakthrough study published on Sept. 30 has scientists exclaiming, “OH!”: the first detection of hydroxyl gas [OH] from an interstellar object.

Humic substances affect iron wheel-driven hydroxyl radical production in soil

Hydroxyl radical (·OH) is the most reactive oxidant and plays important roles in the biogeochemical cycle of elements and the attenuation of contaminants in the environment. In recent years, the redox reaction of iron in subsurface sediments was found to produce ·OH naturally, even in dark conditions without the presence of exogenous hydrogen peroxide. However, the effect of mineral-associated soil organic matter (SOM) on the process is not well understood.

"This interfacial OH production does not involve precursors or catalysts, such as light or heat, and is likely the largest aqueous OH source in atmospheric droplets at nighttime. The ubiquity of aqueous aerosols and cloud droplets and their possibly strong OH-producing capability suggests that we have to rethink atmospheric multiphase oxidation chemistry"

Substantial, widespread reductions in nitrogen oxides during 2020 associated with the shutdown of manufacturing and other 195 industries will have perturbed atmospheric concentrations of the OH loss of methane. A reduction in OH could also help explain, in principle, the record-breaking atmospheric increase in methane. https://acp.copernicus.org/preprints/acp-2022-425/acp-2022-425.pdf #hydroxyl #methane #atmosphericelectricity

New year will start with a positive 20° C anomaly!

Next year I will keep exploring how to clean and cool and i hope 🤞 soon our lords allows us to do in scale but I doubt #isa #hydroxyl #mcb #meer #srm #methane #uhi #oae #sam
