Ice Nucleation Enhancement in Ambient Aerosols Under High‐Salinity Conditions: Insights From Cloud Chamber Experiments

Abstract Ice‐nucleating particles (INPs) play a role in mixed‐phase clouds, yet the processes controlling their properties remain poorly understood. Water‐soluble salts such as sodium chloride (NaCl) depress the freezing temperature of clou...

Correlations Between Subduction of Linear Oceanic Features and Arc Volcanism Volume Around the Pacific Basin

Abstract Arc volcanoes, created by magma generated from the dehydration of subducting slabs, show great variability in their sizes and along‐arc spatial distributions. In this study, we address a fundamental question, namely, how do subduct...

MFEFNet: An Efficient Network for Infrared Small Target Detection With Multiview Feature Extraction and Multiscale Attention Fusion

Infrared small target detection (IRSTD) remains a core challenge in remote sensing, mainly due to low signal-to-noise ratios, small target sizes, background interference, and large-scale variations. Although existing methods have achieved p...

The Beginning of a Wilson Cycle in an Accretionary Orogen: The Mongol–Okhotsk Ocean Opened Assisted by a Devonian Mantle Plume

Abstract The opening of oceans within accretionary orogens is important for understanding the Wilson cycle. The Mongol–Okhotsk Ocean (MOO) began opening within the early Paleozoic accretionary collage of the Central Asian Orogenic Belt (CAO...

Avalanches in Functional Materials and Geophysics

Green’s functions for geophysics: a review

The Green's function (GF) method, which makes use of GFs, is an important and elegant tool for solving a given boundary-value problem for the differential equation from a real engineering or physical field. Under a concentrated source, the ...

Integrated geochemical evaluation of hydrocarbon source potential in late quaternary sediments of the Nkhata basin, Malawi

Abstract The Nkhata basin located in the central part of the Malawi rift consists of Late Quaternary (Chibanian to present;  6.02 wt% and S2 > 25.55 mg HC/g rock; 1 C: TOC up to 6.16 wt%, S2 up to 56.9 mg HC/g rock). The sediments were domi...

Comparison of the GOSAT TANSO-FTS TIR CH volume mixing ratio vertical profiles with those measured by ACE-FTS, ESA MIPAS, IMK-IAA MIPAS, and 16 NDACC stations

The primary instrument on the Greenhouse gases Observing SATellite (GOSAT) is the Thermal And Near infrared Sensor for carbon Observations (TANSO) Fourier transform spectrometer (FTS). TANSO-FTS uses three short-wave infrared (SWIR) band...

Automated Burris gravity meter for single and continuous observation

The Burris Gravity Meter™ manufactured by ZLS Corporation, Austin/Texas, USA, is based on the invention of L&R (L. LaCoste and A. Romberg): The ZLS (zero-length spring). A digital feedback system (range of about 50 mGal) is used to null the...

The Response of Radiative Forcing to High Spatiotemporally Resolved Land‐Use Change and Transition From 1982 to 2010 in China

Abstract Significant uncertainties remain in the estimate of radiative forcing (RF) induced by land‐use change (LUC), partially attributable to the lack of reliable LUC data with a high spatiotemporal resolution. We implemented a high spati...

The Integrity and Tightness of Underground Hydrogen Storage Systems: A Critical Review of Geological Barriers, Well Sealing, Leakage Risks and Future Perspectives

Underground storage of green hydrogen is a strategic enabler of large-scale renewable deployment, but its feasibility rests on a hard problem: keeping a small, highly mobile molecule confined underground for decades without safety or enviro...

Surface and Subsurface Biogeochemical Impacts of the 2019 Northeast Pacific Marine Heatwave

Abstract Following the highly impactful 2013–2016 Marine Heatwave (MHW), another MHW occurred in the Northeast Pacific during summer 2019. While the physical drivers of this event are well described, its biogeochemical impacts remain poorly...

Water Tank Experiments on Stratified Flow over Double Mountain-Shaped Obstacles at High-Reynolds Number

In this article, we present an overview of the HyIV-CNRS-SecORo (Hydralab IV-CNRS-Secondary Orography and Rotors Experiments) laboratory experiments carried out in the CNRM (Centre National de Recherches Météorologiques) large stratified wa...

Landslide monitoring with interferometric SAR in Liugui, a vegetated area

Interferometric SAR analysis with a time series of images obtained from satellite has been proven to be a useful monitoring scheme for geomorphological changes, particularly related to the vertical dimension. The success of this technique r...

THE OVERVIEW OF THE PLANETARY ATMOSPHERIC SPECTRAL TELESCOPE (PAST) IN THE SCIENTIFIC EXPERIMENTAL SYSTEM IN NEAR-SPACE (SENSE)

To investigate mass transport and energy dissipation in space environments for solar system planet, a balloon-borne planetary atmospheric spectral telescope (PAST) is designed with 0.8-m aperture in spectral range from 280 nm to 680&...

Temporal and Spatial Analysis of Coastal Landscape Patterns Using the GEE Cloud Platform and Landsat Time Series

Owing to the rapid urbanization combined with global climate change, dramatic land-use change in coastal watersheds is occurred, which, in turn, cause the evolution of landscape patterns and threaten the valuable but fragile ecosystem. The ...

Enlarging Rainfall Area of Tropical Cyclones by Atmospheric Aerosols

Abstract The size of a tropical cyclone (TC), measured by the area of either rainfall or wind, is an important indicator for the potential damage by TC. Modeling studies suggested that aerosols tend to enhance rainfall in the outer rainband...

Internal Water Facilitates Thermal Resetting of Clumped Isotopes in Biogenic Aragonite

Abstract Biogenic and inorganic calcium carbonates contain considerable amounts of internal water, both as free and organically associated water. The oxygen isotopic compositions (δ18O) of internal water and hosting carbonate are analyzed f...

Spatial random downscaling of rainfall signals in Andean heterogeneous terrain

Remotely sensed data are often used as proxies for indirect precipitation measures over data-scarce and complex-terrain areas such as the Peruvian Andes. Although this information might be appropriate for some research requirements, the ext...

UAV Image Mosaicking Based on Multiregion Guided Local Projection Deformation

The goal of unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) image mosaicking is to create natural- looking mosaics without artifacts due to the parallax of the image and relative camera motion. UAV remote sensing is a low-altitude technology and the UAV imag...
