Abstract: For nearly 60 years, the lognormal distribution has been the most widely used function in the field of atmospheric science for characterizing atmospheric aerosol size distribution. We verify whether the three-parameter ...

Abstract: A fluorine mica, fluorophlogopite, has been found to produce higher bulk water freezing temperature than many other nucleating agents including the parent hydroxyphlogopite and even silver iodide. It is the most efficient ...

Abstract: In this work, the wear and failure mechanism of polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE)/SiO2/epoxy composites with a high concentration of SiO2 particles under dry sliding is examined. In the composite with 12.5 wt.% PTFE, a ...

Abstract: In this note the forcing of cumulus cloud clearing over and downwind from lakes during the warm season is evaluated conceptually by modeling and observational approaches. It is suggested that drying by dynamically induced ...

Abstract: The diversity of small lakes' (size <50 km) configurations, sizes, surrounding terrain, and land use combined with relative sparsity of observations complicates the observational evaluation of the lake breezes (LB) that ...
