The vertical structure of eddy diffusivity in pure slope flows over smooth surfaces

Jiannong Fang, Marc Parlange, Marco Giovanni Giometto

Thermally driven slope flows are ubiquitous in nature and play a major role in regulating local microclimates in valleys, glaciers and ice-sheets. They control in large part surface momentum, heat and moisture fluxes, and their effects must therefore be ac ...

Bipolar optical pulse coding for performance enhancement in BOTDA sensors

Luc Thévenaz, Marcelo Alfonso Soto Hernandez

A pump signal based on bipolar pulse coding and single-sideband suppressed-carried (SSB-SC) modulation is proposed for Brillouin optical time-domain analysis (BOTDA) sensors. Making a sequential use of the Brillouin gain and loss spectra, the technique is ...
