Present and Future of Rainfall in Antarctica

Alexis Berne, Etienne Gabriel Henri Vignon

While most precipitation in Antarctica falls as snow, little is known about liquid precipitation, although it can have ecological and climatic impacts. This study combines meteorological reports at 10 stations with the ERA5 reanalysis to provide a climatol ...

EVA for Glass/Glass Solar PV Modules: Effect of encasulant storage conditions and process parameters

Christophe Ballif, Alessandro Francesco Aldo Virtuani, Luca Gnocchi

This work investigates t the effectiveness of glass-glass solar PV module structures used in combination with a EVA as an encapsulant material. The use of EVA in glass-glass structures is in principle discouraged, as a bioproduct of its photo-degradation i ...

Multitemporal Relationships Between the Hydroclimate and Exports of Carbon, Nitrogen, and Phosphorus in a Small Agricultural Watershed

Camille Roland Marie Minaudo

Agriculture affects the biogeochemical cycles of carbon, nitrogen, and phosphorus, leading to a deterioration of surface water quality. The increasing magnitude of climate change raises questions about potential additional or mitigating effects of climate ...

Ship-based measurements of ice nuclei concentrations over the Arctic, Atlantic, Pacific and Southern oceans

Julia Schmale, André Welti

Ambient concentrations of ice-forming particles measured during ship expeditions are collected and summarised with the aim of determining the spatial distribution and variability in ice nuclei in oceanic regions. The presented data from literature and prev ...

Silicon heterojunction solar cells: Recent technological development and practical aspects - from lab to industry

Christophe Ballif, Mathieu Gérard Boccard, Jan Haschke, Olivier Denis Dupré

We review the recent progress of silicon heterojunction (SHJ) solar cells. Recently, a new efficiency world record for silicon solar cells of 26.7% has been set by Kaneka Corp. using this technology. This was mainly achieved by remarkably increasing the fi ...

Modeling regional air quality and climate: Improving organic aerosol and aerosol activation processes in WRF/Chem version 3.7.1

Yi Zhang, Athanasios Nenes

Air quality and climate influence each other through the uncertain processes of aerosol formation and cloud droplet activation. In this study, both processes are improved in the Weather, Research and Forecasting model with Chemistry (WRF/Chem) version 3.7. ...

Assessing the bioclimatic features of historic architecture in contemporary cities

Hélène Yvette Claudine Monari, Guillaume Charles Johan Rouff soit Rueff

Since the second half of the XX century, the way new urban areas have risen next to the ancient/traditional parts of cities has been vastly unsystematic, often altering the original natural landscape and/or urban morphology significantly. This has sometime ...
