This is chapter 1 of the State of Environmental Science in Svalbard (SESS) report 2022. We have used temperature measurements from a number of observatories in and above Svalbard to study temperature variations, and their relation to solar activity. Sea te ...
Climate changes influence lake hydrodynamics and radiation levels and thus may affect the fate and transport of waterborne pathogens in lakes. This study examines the impact of climate change on the fate, transport, and associated risks of four waterborne ...
The plasma environment at a comet can be divided into different regions with distinct plasma characteristics. Two such regions are the solar wind ion cavity, which refers to the part of the outer coma that does not contain any solar wind ions anymore; and ...
In a recent discovery (Wen et al 2022 Phys. Rev. Lett. 129 045001), streaming waves were found in multipactor-induced plasma discharges. However, due to the limitations of a 1D simulation setup, these waves displayed only transverse dynamics. In this lette ...

The surface erosion of biased electrodes immersed in a radio frequency (RF) plasma was investigated in oblique magnetic fields ranging from 0.1 T to 3.5 T. The plasma potential and density in the vicinity of the biased electrode have been measured using an ...

In August 2021, a historic heatwave was recorded in Greece which resulted in extreme wildfire events that strongly affected the air quality over the city of Athens. Saharan dust was also transferred over Greece on certain days of the same period due to the ...

Evaluating the reflection of solar radiation by Building Integrated Photovoltaics (BIPV) with structured front-glass is challenging for two reasons. First, the resulting irregular scattering of light cannot be accounted for by simple reflection models. Sec ...

The StatComp package is a Matlab statistical toolbox developed over the years by Dr. Testa and his students. It has been inspired by M. R. Brown’s paper Magnetohydrodynamic Turbulence: Observation and experiment [2]. It first performed the analysis of the ...

This paper presents DIV1D, a new 1D dynamic physics-based model of the divertor plasma under development to study and control the dynamics of detached plasmas. An innovative feature of DIV1D is that it mimics cross-field transport using an effective flux e ...
The Arctic environment is transforming rapidly due to climate change. Aerosols’ abundance and physicochemical characteristics play a crucial, yet uncertain, role in these changes due to their influence on the surface energy budget through direct interactio ...
