Diurnal and seasonal patterns of global urban dry islands

Gabriele Manoli

Urban heat islands (UHIs) are a widely studied phenomenon, while research on urban-rural differences in humidity, the so called urban dry or moisture islands (UDIs, UMIs), is less common and a large-scale quantification of the seasonal and diurnal patterns ...

Climatology of atmospheric boundary layer height over Switzerland

Benjamin Jérémy Laurent Heutte

Determining the height of the planetary boundary layer (PBL) is of crucial importance as it is a key parameter in air-quality modelling and weather forecasting. Continuous remote sensing measurements allow to estimate this parameter based on temperature, h ...

Effect of Indoor Temperature and Glazing with Saturated Color on Visual Perception of Daylight

Marilyne Andersen, Jan Wienold, Giorgia Chinazzo

This paper presents the combined effect of indoor temperature (19 degrees C, 22 degrees C, and 26 degrees C) and colored glazing (blue, orange, and neutral) on visual perception of daylight. Experiments were performed in an office-like test room, in which ...

The sun is no fun without rain: Physical environments affect how we feel about yellow across 55 countries

Christine Mohr, Amer Chamseddine, Maya Roinishvili, Ahmad Abu-Akel, Ramiro Tau, Meng Zhang, Nevena Dimitrova, Niloufar Pouyan

Across cultures, people associate colours with emotions. Here, we test the hypothesis that one driver of this cross-modal correspondence is the physical environment we live in. We focus on a prime example - the association of yellow with joy, - which conce ...

Strongly lensed SNe Ia in the era of LSST: observing cadence for lens discoveries and time-delay measurements

Frédéric Courbin, Hung-Hsu Chan, Vivien François Bonvin

The upcoming Large Synoptic Survey Telescope (LSST) will detect many strongly lensed Type Ia supernovae (LSNe Ia) for time-delay cosmography. This will provide an independent and direct way for measuring the Hubble constant H0, which is necessary to addres ...
