Accurate Spectrally Resolved Infrared Radiance Observation from Space: Implications for the Detection of Decade-to-Century–Scale Climatic Change
(American Meteorological Society, 2001-03)The character of data required to measure decade-to-century–scale climatic change is distinctly different from that required for weather prediction or for studies of meteorological processes. The data ought to possess the ... -
An Analysis of Costs and Health Co-Benefits for a U.S. Power Plant Carbon Standard
(Public Library of Science, 2016)Reducing carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from power plants can have important “co-benefits” for public health by reducing emissions of air pollutants. Here, we examine the costs and health co-benefits, in monetary terms, ... -
Continuous, Long-Term, High-Frequency Thermal Imaging of Vegetation: Uncertainties and Recommended Best Practices
(Elsevier BV, 2016-11)Leaf temperature is an elementary driver of plant physiology, ecology and ecosystem productivity. Individual leaf temperature may deviate strongly from air temperature, and may vary throughout the canopy. Measurements of ... -
Fluorescence Aerosol Flow Tube Spectroscopy to Detect Liquid–Liquid Phase Separation
(American Chemical Society (ACS), 2021-05-06)The phase behavior of atmospheric aerosol particles influences processes like gas-particle partitioning, solar light scattering, and cloud formation, ultimately affecting atmospheric air quality and climate. An important ... -
Global Surface Temperature Response to 11-Yr Solar Cycle Forcing Consistent with General Circulation Model Results
(American Meteorological Society, 2021-04)The 11-year solar-cycle is associated with a roughly 1 W m-2 trough-to-peak variation in total solar irradiance and is expected to produce a global temperature response. The amplitude of this response is, however, ... -
The nitrogen dayglow on Mars
(American Geophysical Union (AGU), 1977-04-01)The ultraviolet dayglow spectrum arising from emission of N2 in the Mars atmosphere is predicted. The intensities are such that a high-resolution spectrum should readily reveal the presence of N2 at the abundances suggested ... -
A Novel Genetic Score Approach Using Instruments to Investigate Interactions between Pathways and Environment: Application to Air Pollution
(Public Library of Science, 2014)Air pollution has been associated with increased systemic inflammation markers. We developed a new pathway analysis approach to investigate whether gene variants within relevant pathways (oxidative stress, endothelial ... -
Particle mass yield in secondary organic aerosol formed by the dark ozonolysis of α-pinene
(Copernicus GmbH, 2008-04-11)The yield of particle mass in secondary organic aerosol (SOA) formed by dark ozonolysis was measured for 0.3–22.8 ppbv of reacted α-pinene. Most experiments were conducted using a continuous-flow chamber, allowing nearly ... -
Precipitation Extremes Influence Patterns and Partitioning of Evapotranspiration and Transpiration in a Deciduous Boreal Larch Forest
(Elsevier BV, 2020-06)High latitude boreal forests are experiencing dramatic changes in climate and hydrology. It is not clear how boreal forests will adapt to hydrological change or how stable they will be to extreme climate fluctuations and ... -
Technical note: Conversion of isoprene hydroxy hydroperoxides (ISOPOOHs) on metal environmental simulation chamber walls
(Copernicus GmbH, 2017-03-24)Sources and sinks of isoprene oxidation products from low-NOx isoprene chemistry have been studied at the CERN CLOUD (Cosmics Leaving Outdoor Droplets) chamber with a custom-built selective reagent ion time-of-flight mass ... -
Towards determining uncertainties in global oceanic mean values of heat, salt, and surface elevation
(Stockholm University Press, 2018-01-01)Lower-bounds on uncertainties in oceanic data and a model are calculated for the 20-year time means and their temporal evolution for oceanic temperature, salinity, and sea surface height, during the data-dense interval ... -
Using satellite data and machine learning to study conflict-induced environmental and socioeconomic destruction in data-poor conflict areas: The case of the Rakhine conflict
(IOP Publishing, 2021-02-01)This paper studies socioeconomic and environmental changes in the neighboring areas Bangladesh- Myanmar border from 2012 to 2019, thus covering the period before and after the 2017 Rakhine conflict in Myanmar and outflux ... -
The vibrational distribution of N 2 + in the terrestrial ionosphere
(American Geophysical Union (AGU), 1985-08-01)The densities and vibrational distributions of N2+ in the X²Σg+, A²Πu, and B²Σu+ states in the daytime terrestrial ionosphere are computed for both low and high solar activity. Altitude profiles of the relative populations ...
