A Novel Heatsink for Optimizing Photovoltaic Cell Performance With Passive Cooling Using Perforated Wave-Shaped Fins
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Photovoltaic (PV) systems convert solar energy into electricity with about 20% efficiency, while the remaining 80% dissipates as heat, reducing performance. Maintaining PV cells near 25 °C is crucial to avoid efficiency ...
The CALIPSO Lidar Cloud and Aerosol Discrimination: Version 2 Algorithm and Initial Assessment of Performance
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The Cloud?Aerosol Lidar and Infrared Pathfinder Satellite Observations (CALIPSO) satellite was launched in April 2006 to provide global vertically resolved measurements of clouds and aerosols. Correct discrimination between ...
Overview of the CALIPSO Mission and CALIOP Data Processing Algorithms
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The Cloud-Aerosol Lidar with Orthogonal Polarization (CALIOP) is a two-wavelength polarization lidar that performs global profiling of aerosols and clouds in the troposphere and lower stratosphere. CALIOP is the primary ...
CALIPSO/CALIOP Cloud Phase Discrimination Algorithm
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The current cloud thermodynamic phase discrimination by Cloud-Aerosol Lidar Pathfinder Satellite Observations (CALIPSO) is based on the depolarization of backscattered light measured by its lidar [Cloud-Aerosol Lidar with ...
The CALIPSO Automated Aerosol Classification and Lidar Ratio Selection Algorithm
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Descriptions are provided of the aerosol classification algorithms and the extinction-to-backscatter ratio (lidar ratio) selection schemes for the Cloud-Aerosol Lidar and Infrared Pathfinder Satellite Observations (CALIPSO) ...
