DOI: 10.1002/2016gb005507
Abstract: The extent to which water mass mixing and ocean ventilation contribute to nitrous oxide (N2O) distribution at the scale of oceanic basins is poorly constrained. We used novel N2O and chlorofluorocarbon measurements along with multiparameter… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/2017gl074029
Abstract: The rolling-pin distribution of suprathermal electrons (40-200 keV), showing electron pitch angles primarily at 0°, 90°, and 180°, has recently been reported behind dipolarization fronts (DFs) both in observations and simulations. The formation of such… read more here.
