Wintertime vertical distribution of air pollution in suburban Fairbanks during the ALPACA 2022 field campaign

Julia Schmale, Andrea Baccarini, Roman Pohorsky

The Alaskan Layered Pollution and Chemical Analysis (ALPACA) field campaign investigated the sources and processing of wintertime urban pollution in Fairbanks, Alaska in January and February 2022. Several sites located around the city of Fairbanks collecte ...

Ultra-Compact Ka-band Metamaterial Waveguide Filters, Fabricated by Lost-Wax Casting

Romain Christophe Rémy Fleury, Maliheh Khatibi Moghaddam

This paper proposes a novel technique for the design of miniaturized Ka-band filters based on locally resonant metamaterials (LRMs), which are fabricated monolithically using lost wax casting. We implement ultra-small metamaterial filters by exploiting a n ...

Small-scale and mesoscale lake surface water temperature structure: Thermography and in situ measurements from Lake Geneva, Switzerland

David Andrew Barry, Ulrich Lemmin, Damien Bouffard, Abolfazl Irani Rahaghi

Lake surface water temperature (LSWT), which varies spatially and temporarily, reflects meteorological and climatological forcing more than any other physical lake parameter. There are different data sources for LSWT mapping, including remote sensing and i ...

A Betz-Inspired Principle for Kite-Power Generation Using Tethered Wings

Dominique Bonvin, Grégory François, Sean Costello

This paper’s main contribution is a theoretical result that can be used to evaluate the maximum powergenerating potential of any kite-power system. An upper bound is derived for the power a wing can generate in a given wind speed. It is proven that the ang ...

Flow during the evening transition over steep Alpine slopes

Wolf Hendrik Huwald, Marc Parlange, Chad Higgins, Eric Richard Pardyjak, Daniel Nadeau

A field campaign, the Slope Experiment near La Fouly (SELF-2010), was conducted to monitor the evening transition of slope flows on clear-sky days from July to September 2010 in a narrow valley of the Swiss Alps. A steep west-facing slope with inclinations ...

Thermal Circulation Patterns and Turbulent Fluxes along Steep Mountain Slopes

Wolf Hendrik Huwald, Marc Parlange, Chad Higgins, Eric Richard Pardyjak, Daniel Nadeau, Fabian Bärenbold

In hydrology, it is crucial to understand the atmospheric flow dynamics in mountainous terrain to predict turbulent exchanges of heat and moisture accurately at the regional scale. Under clear skies and weak synoptic conditions, these land–atmosphere inter ...

Fiber optic distributed temperature sensing for the determination of the nocturnal atmospheric boundary layer height

Wolf Hendrik Huwald, Marc Parlange

A new method for measuring air temperature profiles in the atmospheric boundary layer at high spatial and temporal resolution is presented. The measurements are based on Raman scattering distributed temperature sensing (DTS) with a fiber optic cable attach ...
