Abstract: Wrong information may be extracted from balloon soundings if neither appropriate interpretation and processing nor evaluations of certain inevitable distortions or artifacts on atmospheric measurements are performed. A ...

Abstract: Experimental and modeling studies were conducted for the adsorption of phenol from aqueous solutions onto activated carbon in fixed beds with the adsorbent particles layered according to particle size. In the conventional ...

Abstract: Satellite observations in the shortwave infrared (SWIR) part of spectrum between 3.5 and 4.0 ?m deliver critically important information for many applications. The satellite signal in this spectral band consists of ...

Abstract: Compliance with the forthcoming strict short-term smoke (or PM-2.5) and SO

Abstract: Individual carbon particles were examined using a Quantimet‐720‐23A programmable and computerized image analyzer to determine their size and shape characteristics. Particles in a given sieve size fraction are well represented ...

Abstract: The concept of cloud radiative forcing (CRF) has been widely employed in studying the effects of clouds on the earth?s radiation budget and climate. CRF denotes, in principle, the net influence of cloud alone on the radiation ...

Abstract: here has been a significant increase of interest in the building of a comprehensive Arctic observing system in recent years to properly and timely track the environmental and climate processes in this vast region. In this ...

Abstract: AbstractSnow and ice over land are important hydrological resources and sensitive indicators of climate change. The Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) dataset at 250-m spatial resolution generated at the ...
