The southeastern Atlantic (SEA) and its associated cloud deck, off the west coast of central Africa, is an area where aerosol–cloud interactions can have a strong radiative impact. Seasonally, extensive biomass burning (BB) aerosol plumes from southern Afr ...
This study investigated the power production and blade fatigue of a three-turbine array subjected to active yaw control (AYC) in full-wake and partial-wake configurations. A framework of a two-way coupled large eddy simulation (LES) and an aeroelastic blad ...
In this thesis, we explore the best practice of simulating the wakes of the turbines under active yaw control (AYC) using large-eddy simulation (LES). In the first study, we validate the blade-element actuator disk model (ADM-BE) for a yawed wind turbine. ...
Drifting snowstorms are an important aeolian process that reshape alpine glaciers and polar ice shelves, and they may also affect the climate system and hydrological cycle since flying snow particles exchange considerable mass and energy with air flow. Pri ...
In this paper we test the usefulness of acoustic backscatter measurements from a 614 kHz Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler (ADCP) for the qualitative and quantitative characterisation of zooplankton distributions in lakes. ADCP-based backscatter estimat ...
The Global Precipitation Measurement (GPM) mission Dual-Frequency Precipitation Radar (DPR) provides a unique set of three-dimensional radar precipitation estimates across much of the globe. Both terrain and climatic conditions can have a strong influence ...
Models of aerosol scavenging and aqueous-phase oxidation of SO2 by H2O2 and O3 in a cloud updraft are compared. Bulk models considering only a single droplet size are compared with size-resolved models that explicitly simulate multiple aerosol and drop siz ...
Stratocumulus is one of the most common cloud types found in the atmospheric boundary layer (ABL) and have been shown to have a significant impact on modulating the global radiation and energy balance. In spite of their ubiquitousness however, their shallo ...
[1] Flame soot samples taken as surrogates for aviation soot have been generated under two limiting conditions of combustion in a rich and lean flame resulting in grey and black soot, respectively. Absolute mean surface residence times tau(s) of H2O adsorb ...
