Temperature considerations on Hall Effect sensors current-related sensitivity behaviour

Maher Kayal, Jean-Michel Sallese, Maria-Alexandra Paun

The present paper focuses on evaluating the temperature effects on Hall Effect sensors sensitivity behavior. To this purpose, an analysis of the factors affecting the sensors current-related sensitivity is performed, consisting of several pertinent conside ...

Cirrus cloud seeding has potential to cool climate

Athanasios Nenes

Cirrus clouds, thin ice clouds in the upper troposphere, have a net warming effect on Earth's climate. Consequently, a reduction in cirrus cloud amount or optical thickness would cool the climate. Recent research indicates that by seeding cirrus clouds wit ...

Separating local topography from snow effects on momentum roughness in mountain regions

Michael Lehning, Marc Parlange, Gabriel George Katul, Marc Calaf Bracons, Marc Diebold

Parametrization of momentum surface roughness length in mountainous regions continues to be an active research topic given its application to improved weather forecasting and sub-grid scale representation of mountainous regions in climate models. A field c ...

Impact of snow variability on the Swiss winter tourism sector: implications in an era of climate change

Camille Gonseth

With its numerous mountain regions and its well developed winter tourism infrastructures, Switzerland is a country whose tourism sector is known to be sensitive to snowpack variability. With climate change—which is predicted to have negative impacts on sno ...

Present state of global wetland extent and wetland methane modelling: conclusions from a model inter-comparison project (WETCHIMP)

Jed Oliver Kaplan

Global wetlands are believed to be climate sensitive, and are the largest natural emitters of methane (CH4). Increased wetland CH4 emissions could act as a positive feedback to future warming. The Wetland and Wetland CH4 Inter-comparison of Models Project ...

Interactive effects of depth and temperature on CH4 and N2O flux in a shallow podzol

Robert Thomas Edmund Mills

Measuring and modelling the efflux of greenhouse gases from soils is crucial for gauging ecosystem responses to climate and land-use change, and potential contributions and feedbacks to gas emissions. Upland soils with high amounts of organic matter can pr ...

Above- and belowground linkages in Sphagnum peatland: climate warming affects plant-microbial interactions

Alexandre Buttler, Edward Mitchell, Vincent Eric Jules Jassey

Peatlands contain approximately one third of all soil organic carbon (SOC). Warming can alter above- and belowground linkages that regulate soil organic carbon dynamics and C-balance in peatlands. Here we examine the multiyear impact of in situ experimenta ...

Estimating the Ice Thickness of Mountain Glaciers from Surface Topography and Mass-Balance Data

Laurent Michel

The question addressed is the determination of a glacier’s subglacial topography, given surface topography and mass-balance data. The input data can be obtained relatively easily for a large number of glaciers. Several methods essentially based on the shal ...

Toward Assessing the Sensitivity of Buildings to Changes in Climate

Sönke Frederik Horn

A building is designed for one set of typical climatic conditions. In the context of expected climate change, substantial numbers of existing and new buildings are expected to survive long enough to experience perceptible shifts in climate ‘normals’ (avera ...

Tunable reporter signal production in feedback-uncoupled arsenic bioreporters

Vassily Hatzimanikatis, Jan Roelof van der Meer

Escherichia coli-based bioreporters for arsenic detection are typically based on the natural feedback loop that controls ars operon transcription. Feedback loops are known to show a wide range linear response to the detriment of the overall amplification o ...
