The mesosphere and metals: Chemistry and changes

JMC Plane, W Feng, ECM Dawkins - Chemical reviews, 2015 - ACS Publications
The subject of this review is the atmospheric chemistry of the metals which ablate from
meteoroids in the Earth, s upper atmosphere. The major meteoric species are Fe, Mg, Si …

Cosmic dust in the earth's atmosphere

JMC Plane - Chemical Society Reviews, 2012 - pubs.rsc.org
This review discusses the magnitude of the cosmic dust input into the earth's atmosphere,
and the resulting impacts from around 100 km to the earth's surface. Zodiacal cloud …

Numerical simulations of the three‐dimensional distribution of meteoric dust in the mesosphere and upper stratosphere

CG Bardeen, OB Toon, EJ Jensen… - Journal of …, 2008 - Wiley Online Library
Micrometeorites that ablate in the lower thermosphere and upper mesosphere are thought to
recondense into nanometer‐sized smoke particles and then coagulate into larger dust …

Impacts of cosmic dust on planetary atmospheres and surfaces

JMC Plane, GJ Flynn, A Määttänen, JE Moores… - Space Science …, 2018 - Springer
Recent advances in interplanetary dust modelling provide much improved estimates of the
fluxes of cosmic dust particles into planetary (and lunar) atmospheres throughout the solar …

News from the lower ionosphere: A review of recent developments

M Friedrich, M Rapp - Surveys in Geophysics, 2009 - Springer
Current knowledge concerning the lower ionosphere (D-and E-region) is reviewed with an
emphasis on new aspects of empirical results. Starting with an overview of experimental …

Interactions of meteoric smoke particles with sulphuric acid in the Earth's stratosphere

RW Saunders, S Dhomse, WS Tian… - Atmospheric …, 2012 - acp.copernicus.org
Nano-sized meteoric smoke particles (MSPs) with iron-magnesium silicate compositions,
formed in the upper mesosphere as a result of meteoric ablation, may remove sulphuric acid …

In situ observations of meteor smoke particles (MSP) during the Geminids 2010: constraints on MSP size, work function and composition

M Rapp, JMC Plane, B Strelnikov… - Annales …, 2012 - angeo.copernicus.org
We present in situ observations of meteoric smoke particles (MSP) obtained during three
sounding rocket flights in December 2010 in the frame of the final campaign of the …

Charged meteoric smoke as ice nuclei in the mesosphere: Part 1—A review of basic concepts

J Gumbel, L Megner - Journal of Atmospheric and Solar-Terrestrial Physics, 2009 - Elsevier
The role of meteoric smoke as condensation nuclei for mesospheric ice has recently been
challenged by model simulations on the global transport of meteoric material. At the same …

Meteor smoke particle properties derived from Arecibo incoherent scatter radar observations

I Strelnikova, M Rapp, S Raizada… - Geophysical Research …, 2007 - Wiley Online Library
We present a new algorithm to infer information on the properties of charged meteoric
smoke particles (MSPs) from the shape of incoherent scatter radar spectra. We show that in …
