Numerical and experimental investigations of a microwave interferometer for the negative ion source SPIDER

Ivo Furno, Rémy Jacquier, Riccardo Agnello

The electron density close to the extraction grids and the co-extracted electrons represent a crucial issue when operating negative ion sources for fusion reactors. An excessive electron density in the plasma expansion region can indeed inhibit the negativ ...

New Sensing Technologies for Monitoring Machinery, Structures, and Manufacturing Processes

Luc Thévenaz, Yi Huang

Sensing is the fundamental technique for sensor data acquisition in monitoring the operation condition of the machinery, structures and manufacturing processes. In this paper, we briefly discuss the general idea and advances of various new sensing technolo ...

Snowfall microphysics: a dual-frequency and Doppler spectral radar perspective

Anne-Claire Marie Billault--Roux

Snowfall is an essential component of the hydrological cycle, as it is involved in most precipitation on Earth, either directly as snow falling to the ground or indirectly as rain melted from snow. At the same time, the ice phase of clouds and precipitatio ...

Dual-frequency spectral radar retrieval of snowfall microphysics: a physics-driven deep-learning approach

Alexis Berne, Gionata Ghiggi

The use of meteorological radars to study snowfall microphysical properties and processes is well established, in particular via a few distinct techniques: the use of radar polarimetry, of multi-frequency radar measurements, and of the radar Doppler spectr ...

Measurements of Atmospheric Variability during the Multidisciplinary drifting Observatory for the Study of Arctic Climate (MOSAiC) Expedition

Julia Schmale

The MOSAiC expedition was designed to better understand the local and remote processes influencing the Arctic climate system. The Arctic is warming two to three times faster than the global average, a process known as Arctic amplification. One of the most ...

Three-dimensional radiative transfer effects on airborne and ground-based trace gas remote sensing

Alexis Berne, Dominik Brunner, Thomas Wagner

Air mass factors (AMFs) are used in passive trace gas remote sensing for converting slant column densities (SCDs) to vertical column densities (VCDs). AMFs are traditionally computed with 1D radiative transfer models assuming horizontally homogeneous condi ...

On the fine vertical structure of the low troposphere over the coastal margins of East Antarctica

Alexis Berne, Etienne Gabriel Henri Vignon

In this study, 8 years of high-resolution radiosonde data at nine Antarctic stations are analysed to provide the first large-scale characterization of the fine vertical structure of the low troposphere up to 3 km altitude over the coastal margins of East A ...
