Synchronous shedding of multiple bat paramyxoviruses coincides with peak periods of Hendra virus spillover by Alison J. Peel, Konstans Wells, John Giles, Victoria Boyd, Amy Burroughs, Daniel Edson, Gary Crameri, Michelle L. Baker, Hume Field, Lin-Fa Wang, Hamish McCallum, Raina K. Plowright, Nicholas Clark

“…Such extreme pulses of multi-viral shedding could easily be missed during routine surveillance yet have potentially serious consequences for spillover of novel pathogens to humans and domestic animal hosts. We also detected co-occurrence patterns suggestive of the presence of interactions among viruses, such as facilitation and cross-immunity. …”

Intercomparison of tropospheric ozone column datasets from combined nadir and limb satellite observations by C. Arosio, V. Sofieva, A. Orfanoz-Cheuquelaf, A. Rozanov, K.-P. Heue, D. Loyola, E. Malina, R. M. Stauffer, D. Tarasick, R. Van Malderen, J. R. Ziemke, M. Weber

“…Despite uncertainties associated with the limb–nadir residual methodology and large biases between the mean values of the considered datasets, we identify an overall agreement of TrOC distribution patterns. The different tropopause height definitions used to construct the datasets did not show a relevant role in explaining the biases between them. …”
