Atmospheric isoprene measurements reveal larger-than-expected Southern Ocean emissions

Isoprene is a key trace component of the atmosphere emitted by vegetation and other organisms. It is highly reactive and can impact atmospheric composition and climate by affecting the greenhouse gases ozone and methane and secondary organic aerosol format ...

Plasmoid drift and first wall heat deposition during ITER H-mode dual-SPIs in JOREK simulations

Mengdi Kong

The heat flux mitigation during the thermal quench (TQ) by the shattered pellet injection (SPI) is one of the major elements of disruption mitigation strategy for ITER. It's efficiency greatly depends on the SPI and the target plasma parameters, and is ult ...

Ecological and Climate Impacts of Greenlandic Glacial Outwash Plains (ECO-Plains)

Devis Tuia, Julia Schmale, Nora Bergner, Ianina Altshuler, Gaston Jean Lenczner, Grace Emma Marsh

Glacial outwash plains are developing fast in the Arctic, a region which warms two to four times faster than the global average. These new landscapes are climate relevant. They can be sources and sinks of greenhouse gas fluxes and they expose large amounts ...

Resolving indoor shortwave and longwave human body irradiance variations for mean radiant temperature and local thermal comfort

Dolaana Khovalyg, Arnab Chatterjee, Mohamad Rida

A spatially and directionally resolved longwave and shortwave radiant heat transfer model is presented via a series of experiments in a thermal lab to input surface temperatures and geometries, as well as skin temperature readings from a human subject, in ...

Climatic and Ecological Impact of Greenlandic Glacial Outwash Plains

Devis Tuia, Julia Schmale, Nora Bergner, Ianina Altshuler, Gaston Jean Lenczner, Grace Emma Marsh

Warming in the Arctic is occurring at an accelerated rate compared to the rest of the world which is partially driven by ecological and climatic feedback loops. Accelerated glacial and ice sheet retreat in Greenland drives increased development of glacial ...

Arctic tropospheric ozone: assessment of current knowledge and model performance

Jakob Boyd Pernov, Luca Pozzoli, Ilann Ernest Valentin Bourgeois

As the third most important greenhouse gas (GHG) after carbon dioxide (CO2) and methane (CH4), tropospheric ozone (O3) is also an air pollutant causing damage to human health and ecosystems. This study brings together recent research on observations and mo ...

Enhanced intensification of hourly rainfall extremes due to urban warming in Phoenix, Arizona

Gabriele Manoli

The main cause of flash and pluvial floods in cities is short-duration extreme rainfall events. The built environment can either intensify or weaken extreme rainfall intensity depending on the urban fabric that controls the local environmental and climatic ...

Concrete: Cosmetic and Care

Sarah Nichols, Akshar Shaileshkumar Gajjar, Marion Moutal

‘Concrete: Cosmetic and Care’ focuses on a heavy heritage: the mass of mainly post-war structures in reinforced concrete. The post-war building boom covered the globe with an unprecedented amount of concrete. Production of every ton of cement alone release ...

Arctic warming by abundant fine sea salt aerosols from blowing snow

Jian Wang, Julia Schmale, Nora Bergner, Xin Yang, Markus Frey

The Arctic warms nearly four times faster than the global average, and aerosols play an increasingly important role in Arctic climate change. In the Arctic, sea salt is a major aerosol component in terms of mass concentration during winter and spring. Howe ...

Uncertainty analysis of polymer-based capacitive relative humidity sensor at negative temperatures and low humidity levels

Sandro Carrara, Andromachi Tsirou, Amar Kapic

Capacitive relative humidity sensors, widely used in industrial and environmental applications, should be interchangeable and ideally have parametrizable response to relative humidity changes. While the effects of temperatures in the range between 0 degree ...
