Optical Properties of the Urban Aerosol Particles Obtained from Ground Based Measurements and Satellite-Based Modelling Studies by Genrik Mordas, Nina Prokopciuk, Steigvilė Byčenkienė, Jelena Andriejauskienė, Vidmantas Ulevicius

“…Measurements included the light scattering coefficients at 3 wavelengths (450, 550, and 700 nm) measured with an integrating nephelometer and aerosol particle size distribution (0.5–12 μm) and number concentration (Dpa > 0.5 μm) registered by aerodynamic particle sizer. Particle number concentration and mean light scattering coefficient varied from relatively low values of 6.0 cm−3 and 12.8 Mm−1 associated with air masses passed over Atlantic Ocean to relatively high value of 119 cm−3 and 276 Mm−1 associated with South-Western air masses. …”

Study on the Vortex-Induced Vibration Performance of the LSOB Girder of a Valley-Crossing Suspensions Bridge by Weihong Ji, Yu Lin, Shaopeng Yang, Lin Huang

“…The CFD numerical simulations indicate that VIVs of LSOB girders are mainly induced by two types of vortices: one at the inclined webs of leeward wind nozzles and another at the upstream upper surfaces of the deck. Conventional aerodynamic vibration suppression measures, such as the lower central stabilizing plate and the guide vane at the gantry rail, demonstrate that the lower central stabilizing plate can reduce the VIV response at all wind angles of attack, decreasing vertical amplitude by 40%–50% and torsional amplitude by 10%–25%. …”
