Biomass-burning impact on CCN number, hygroscopicity and cloud formation during summertime in the eastern Mediterranean

This study investigates the concentration, cloud condensation nuclei (CCN) activity and hygroscopic properties of particles influenced by biomass burning in the eastern Mediterranean and their impacts on cloud droplet formation. Air masses sampled were sub ...

Recent advances in liquid water flow modelling in the physics based SNOWPACK model

Michael Lehning, Nander Wever, Sebastian Würzer, Charles Fierz

Simulating liquid water flow in snow has deserved much attention in the physics based snow modelling community, as it is a crucial factor in understanding hydrological processes in alpine catchments, snowpack stratification and wet snow avalanche formation ...

Spatial variability of Inherent Optical Properties in the perialpine lakes

Alfred Johny Wüest, Damien Bouffard, Vincent Maurice Nouchi

Accurate estimation of biogeochemical substances from remote observations requires knowledge of Inherent Optical Properties (IOPs) and their mass specific representation (SIOPs). Corresponding measurements are rather scarce for perialpine lakes, which repr ...

Simulating the aqueous dissolution of petroleum emitted into the Gulf of Mexico during the 2010 Deepwater Horizon disaster

Jeremy Samuel Arey, Jonas Gros

What are the processes that entrapped more than 100 000 tons of emitted petroleum compounds in the deep waters of the Gulf of Mexico during the 2010 Deepwater Horizon disaster? We developed a thermodynamic model of the gas-liquid-water partitioning, densit ...

Transparent Metal-Organic Framework/Polymer Mixed Matrix Membranes as Water Vapor Barriers

Wendy Lee Queen, Daniel Teav Sun, Eun Seon Cho

Preventing the permeation of reactive molecules into electronic devices or photovoltaic modules is of great importance to ensure their life span and reliability. This work is focused on the formation of highly functioning barrier films based on nanocrystal ...

Chemical and physical influences on aerosol activation in liquid clouds: A study based on observations from the Jungfraujoch, Switzerland

Athanasios Nenes

A simple statistical model to predict the number of aerosols which activate to form cloud droplets in warm clouds has been established, based on regression analysis of data from four summertime Cloud and Aerosol Characterisation Experiments (CLACE) at the ...

Arrays of Pentacene Single Crystals by Stencil Evaporation

Jürgen Brugger, Shenqi Xie, Valentin Flauraud

In order to realize high-performance organic thin-film transistors (TFT), two parameters of the organic semiconducting layer are desired: single crystallinity for high mobility and patterning for low off currents. High-quality single crystals can be fabric ...

Hollow Mesoporous Plasmonic Nanoshells for Enhanced Solar Vapor Generation

Demetri Psaltis, Thomas La Grange, Jeffrey Alan Hubbell, Ye Pu, Jae-Woo Choi, Miguel Antonio Modestino, Seyyed Mohammad Hosseini Hashemi, Marcin Stefan Zielinski

In the past decade, nanomaterials have made their way into a variety of technologies in solar energy, enhancing the performance by taking advantage of the phenomena inherent to the nanoscale. Recent examples exploit plasmonic core/shell nanoparticles to ac ...

Attenuation of wind-induced pressure perturbations in alpine snow

Wolf Hendrik Huwald, Marc Parlange, Chad Higgins

Windpumping has been identified as a process that could potentially enhance sublimation of surface snow at high forcing frequency and spawn air movement deeper in firn at lower frequencies. We performed an experiment to examine the relationship between hig ...

Sensing Technology for Citizen Observatories - The WeSenseIt Project

Wolf Hendrik Huwald, Steven Vincent Weijs, Tristan Jonas Brauchli

WeSenseIt is a project about citizen involvement in environmental monitoring with particular focus on water, water-related variables, and the management of flood risks. We define a Citizen Observatory in a wide sense, where actors can actively and/or passi ...
