Sergej Zilitinkevich 2 With profound sadness we announce that our colleague Prof. Sergej Zilitinkevich passed away on February 15, 2021 after a short illness. 
With his passing we have lost a leading scientist in atmospheric turbulence. He will always be remembered as an inspirational and enthusiastic scientist. He was scientifically active until very end, underlined by the fact that his most recent international project had a kick-off meeting last week. His contributions in INAR, in Pan Eurasian Experiment and in the atmospheric science field in general will be dearly missed. On behalf of INAR we would like to extend our deepest condolences to Dr. Iryna Bashmakova and the whole Zilitinkevich family.  Markku Kulmala, Tuukka Petäjä, Hanna Lappalainen

F1.large  Scientific article about a puzzle of new particle formation (NPF) in polluted urban air just published in Science magazine. "Atmospheric new particle formation from sulfuric acid and amines in a Chinese megacity" by Yao et al., 2018 investigates NPF in urban Shanghai, China and describe the conditions that make this process possible. The findings will help inform policy decisions about how to reduce particulate matter pollution in these types of environments. They found that NPF observations in Shanghai are consistent with sulfuric acid-dimethylamine-water nucleation studied in CLOUD chamber including formation rates and sulfuric acid cluster concentration. In addition, they observed neutral sulfuric acid-dimethylamine clusters during NPF. As a result, they proposed that this molecular pathway is responsible for initial steps of NPF in an urban environment in China. dated 25.Jul.2018
ClimateChangeConference On the 18–19.May.2018, The Cyprus Institute hosted the International Summit-Conference Climate Change in the Mediterranean and the Middle East: Challenges and Solutions. The conference addressed the scientific basis of Climate Change in the region, its various impacts and challenges, mitigation/adaptation strategies, policy challenges and governance. The Conference was preceded by two days of Scientific Workshops focused on modelling predictions of Climate Change and its impacts – especially in the areas of sustainability, energy, health, agriculture, water security and migration – as well as examine and propose mitigation and adaptation strategies. In the Workshop Dr. Hanna Lappalainen gave a presentation of PEEX as an example of high impact research network.

Academician Markku Kulmala, University of Helsinki, was interviewed by the China Daily (29.May) and he commented on President Xi Jinpings’s talk on science – technology interaction at the 19th Meeting of the Academicians of Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) in Beijing, China. Kulmala is an Academician of the CAS and participated the meeting last week. President Xi opened the meeting and was calling for science and technology reforms to boost the vitality for innovations. There is a need for redefinition for the different roles of enterprises, universities, and research institutes in the innovation chain. Furthermore, the government should transform its functions in science and technology management. Full articledated 6.Jun.2018

Cryosphere acp2018 PEEX office has published together with one of its key collaborator universities in Russia, Tyumen State University, a paper on permaforst: Cryosphere: a kingdom of anomalies and diversity. The present paper by Melnikov et al., 2018 (Atmos. Phys. Chem., 18) attracts the attention to the crucial importance of cryospheric anomalies and topical problems related to ice, snow and cold in a wider interdisciplinary context, beyond the present conventional understanding.  Cryosphere makes the Earth atmosphere and the entire Earth system very special, if not unique, objects in the universe. Univ.Helsinki and Tyumen are currently analyzing temperature data from Siberian permafrost regions. dated 4.Jun.2018
