Re-entry survival analysis and ground risk assessment of space debris considering by-products generation

Pénélope Leyland, Stefano Mischler, Seong-Hyeon Park

Space debris that re-enter the Earth's atmosphere can be partially or fully ablated along the trajectory path after hitting the atmosphere layers, once these become denser (approximately below 82 km). This paper combines re-entry survival analysis to by-pr ...

Three-dimensional radiative transfer effects on airborne and ground-based trace gas remote sensing

Alexis Berne

Air mass factors (AMFs) are used in passive trace gas remote sensing for converting slant column densities (SCDs) to vertical column densities (VCDs). AMFs are traditionally computed with 1D radiative transfer models assuming horizontally homogeneous condi ...

How eigenmode self-interaction affects zonal flows and convergence of tokamak core turbulence with toroidal system size

Stephan Brunner, Gabriele Merlo, Justin Richard Ball, Julien Stanislas Pierre Dominski, Ajay Chandrarajan Jayalekshmi

Self-interaction is the process by which a microinstability eigenmode that is extended along the direction parallel to the magnetic field interacts non-linearly with itself. This effect is particularly significant in gyrokinetic simulations accounting for ...
