Variability of plankton communities in relation to the lunar cycle in oceanic waters by Santiago Hernández-León, M. Loreto Torreblanca, M. Loreto Torreblanca, Inma Herrera, Inma Herrera, Laia Armengol, Gara Franchy, Alejandro Ariza, Juan Carlos Garijo, María Couret

“…The short-term variability of plankton communities in the oceanic realm is still poorly known due to the paucity of high-resolution time-series in the open ocean. Among these few studies, there is compelling evidence of a lunar cycle of epipelagic zooplankton biomass in subtropical waters during the late winter bloom. …”

Parameter Study on Ultraviolet Rayleigh–Brillouin Doppler Lidar with Dual-Pass Dual Fabry–Perot Interferometer for Accurately Measuring Near-Surface to Lower Stratospheric Wind Fie... by Fahua Shen, Zhifeng Shu, Jihui Dong, Guohua Jin, Liangliang Yang, Zhou Hui, Hua Xu

“…The simulation results show that at an altitude of 0–20 km, within the radial wind speed dynamic range of ±50 m/s, the radial wind speed measurement bias caused by aerosol scattering signal is less than 0.17 m/s in the cloudless region; within the radial wind speed dynamic range of ±30 m/s, the bias is less than 0.44 m/s and 0.91 m/s in the simulated cumulus cloud at 4 km where aerosol backscatter ratio <i>R_β</i> = 3.8 and cirrus cloud at 9 km where <i>R_β</i> = 2.9, respectively; using a laser with a pulse energy of 350 mJ and a repetition frequency of 50 Hz, a 450 mm aperture telescope, setting the detection zenith angle of 30°, vertical resolution of 26 m@0–10 km, 78 m@10–20 km, and 260 m@20–30 km, and a time resolution of 1 min, with the daytime sky background brightness taking 0.3 WSr⁻¹m⁻²nm⁻¹@355 nm, the radial wind speed measurement errors of the system during the day and night are below 2.9 m/s and 1.6 m/s, respectively, up to 30 km altitude, below 0.28 m/s at 10 km altitude, and below 0.91 m/s at 20 km altitude all day.…”
