A full year of aerosol size distribution data from the central Arctic under an extreme positive Arctic Oscillation: insights from the Multidisciplinary drifting Observatory for the Study of Arctic Climate (MOSAiC) expedition

Julia Schmale, Ivo Fabio Beck, Benjamin Jérémy Laurent Heutte, Jakob Boyd Pernov, Hélène Paule Angot, Lubna Dada, Federico Bianchi

The Arctic environment is rapidly changing due to accelerated warming in the region. The warming trend is driving a decline in sea ice extent, which thereby enhances feedback loops in the surface energy budget in the Arctic. Arctic aerosols play an importa ...

Modelling the sustainability of a primary school digital education curricular reform and professional development program

Francesco Mondada, Barbara Bruno, Laila Abdelsalam El-Hamamsy, Emilie-Charlotte Monnier

Sustaining changes in teachers’ practices is a challenge that determines the success of curricular reforms, from which Digital Education (DE) is not exempt. As the literature on sustainability is considered “scarce” and “scattered”, long-term studies model ...

Thermal Conductivity of Snow on Arctic Sea Ice

Henning Löwe, Marc Schneebeli Zeugin, David Nicholas Wagner

Snow significantly impacts the seasonal growth of Arctic sea ice due to its thermally insulating properties. Various measurements and parametrizations of thermal properties exist, but an assessment of the entire seasonal evolution of thermal conductivity a ...

Annual cycle observations of aerosols capable of ice formation in central Arctic clouds

Julia Schmale, Ivo Fabio Beck

The Arctic is warming faster than anywhere else on Earth, prompting glacial melt, permafrost thaw, and sea ice decline. These severe consequences induce feedbacks that contribute to amplified warming, affecting weather and climate globally. Aerosols and cl ...

High-resolution impact assessment of climate change on building energy performance considering extreme weather events and microclimate – Investigating variations in indoor thermal comfort and degree-days

Kavan Javanroodi, Vahid Moussavi Nik, Mohammad Hosseini

Climate change and urbanization are two major challenges when planning for sustainable energy transition in cities. The common approach for energy demand estimation is using only typical meso-scale weather data in building energy models (BEMs), which under ...

Quantification of influence of monitoring duration on measured traffic action effects on fatigue of RC deck slabs of road bridges

Eugen Brühwiler, Bartlomiej Wojciech Sawicki

The safety of existing bridges may be assessed using data from monitoring. The fatigue damage induced during observation period is extrapolated to the total service duration of a structure, and the reserve capacity is estimated. However, due to the randomn ...

Influence of monitoring duration on measured traffic action effects on road bridges

Eugen Brühwiler, Bartlomiej Wojciech Sawicki

This paper analyses the influence of monitoring duration on the obtained results using two long term (2.5 years) monitoring campaigns. Two road bridges with different nature of traffic are considered: (a) a heavily loaded two-lane highway viaduct and (b) a ...
