Role of K-feldspar and quartz in global ice nucleation by mineral dust in mixed-phase clouds

Athanasios Nenes

Ice-nucleating particles (INPs) enable ice formation, profoundly affecting the microphysical and radiative properties, lifetimes, and precipitation rates of clouds. Mineral dust emitted from arid regions, particularly potassium-containing feldspar (K-felds ...

Flushing the Lake Littoral Region: The Interaction of Differential Cooling and Mild Winds

Damien Bouffard, Hugo Nicolás Ulloa Sánchez, Tomy Doda

The interaction of a uniform cooling rate at the lake surface with sloping bathymetry efficiently drives cross-shore water exchanges between the shallow littoral and deep interior regions. The faster cooling rate of the shallows results in the formation of ...

Convection of water vapour in snowpacks

Michael Lehning, Varun Sharma, Mahdi Jafari

This paper studies numerically the convection of water vapour in snowpacks using an Eulerian-Eulerian two-phase approach. The convective water vapour transport in snow and its effects on snow density are often invoked to explain observed density profiles, ...

An analytical approximation of urban heat and dry islands and their impact on convection triggering

Gabriele Manoli

It is well known that cities increase air and surface temperatures compared to their rural sur-roundings, the so-called urban heat island (UHI) effect. However, the associated changes in at-mospheric humidity (also known as urban dry island, UDI) and conve ...

Investigation of new particle formation mechanisms and aerosol processes at Marambio Station, Antarctic Peninsula

Lubna Dada

Understanding chemical processes leading to the formation of atmospheric aerosol particles is crucial to improve our capabilities in predicting the future climate. However, those mechanisms are still inadequately characterized, especially in polar regions. ...

Intermolecular Pd(0)-Catalyzed Atropo-enantioselective C-H Arylation of Heteroarenes and Other Investigations into the Enantioselective Activation of Challenging C(sp3)-H Bonds

Qui-Hien Nguyen

The direct construction of stereogenic axes by enantioselective C-H arylation has been regarded as a very challenging transformation. Very few examples have been reported, despite the indisputable straight-forwardness of the methodology. This is due to the ...

Thermal resistance of ventilated air-spaces behind external claddings; definitions and challenges (ASHRAE 1759-RP)

Dolaana Khovalyg, Mohammad Rahiminejad

The presence of an air-space within a building envelope is known to have a varying contribution to the overall thermal performance of the wall assembly due to the combined effect of convection and radiation in the air cavity. In particular, the thermal res ...

Effect of collisions on non-adiabatic electron dynamics in ITG-driven microturbulence

Stephan Brunner, Justin Richard Ball

Non-adiabatic electron response leads to significant changes in ion temperature gradient (ITG) eigenmodes, leading, in particular, to fine-structures that are significantly extended along the magnetic field lines at corresponding mode rational surfaces (MR ...

Review on ventilation rates in the ventilated air-spaces behind common wall assemblies with external cladding

Dolaana Khovalyg, Mohammad Rahiminejad

For many decades, ventilated cavities in wall assemblies of buildings have been essential for creating moisture resilient constructions by allowing airflow within the air gap to promote drying. In addition to that, the airflow in the cavity can enhance the ...
