Past rapid warmings as a constraint on greenhouse-gas climate feedbacks by Mengmeng Liu, Iain Colin Prentice, Laurie Menviel, Sandy P. Harrison

“…Here we use these events to quantify the centennial-scale feedback strength of CO2, CH4 and N2O by relating global mean temperature changes, simulated by an appropriately forced low-resolution climate model, to the radiative forcing of these greenhouse gases derived from their concentration changes in ice-core records. …”

Hygroscopic Growth Factors of Sub-micrometer Atmospheric Aerosols at Four Selected Sites in Thailand by Jindarat Pariyothon, Surat Bualert, Parkpoom Choomanee, Thitima Rungratanaubon, Thunyapat Thongyen, Narita Fakkaew, Chayaporn Phuetfoo, Jitlada Phupijit, Wladyslaw W. Szymanski

“…It is an essential parameter for assessing the role of atmospheric particles in the radiative transfer and cloud formation process. Therefore, the temporal variation in Gf of size-selected atmospheric particles from the Aitken mode (Dp ≤ 100 nm) and accumulation mode (Dp > 100 nm) was measured using a humidified tandem differential mobility analyser (H-TDMA) and the relationship between particle size and Gf for various locations and meteorological conditions was determined. …”

Bulk Motions in the Black Hole Jet Sheath as a Candidate for the Comptonizing Corona by Navin Sridhar, Bart Ripperda, Lorenzo Sironi, Jordy Davelaar, Andrei M. Beloborodov

“…Scaling the global simulation to Cygnus X-1 parameters gives a rough estimate of the Thomson optical depth across the jet sheath, ∼0.01–0.1, and it may increase in future magnetohydrodynamic simulations with self-consistent radiative losses. These properties suggest that the dissipative jet sheath may be a viable “coronal” region, capable of upscattering seed soft photons into a hard, nonthermal tail, as seen during the hard states of X-ray binaries and active galactic nuclei.…”

An Algorithm for Retrieving Precipitable Water Vapor over Land Based on Passive Microwave Satellite Data by Fang-Cheng Zhou, Xiaoning Song, Pei Leng, Hua Wu, Bo-Hui Tang

“…To build the algorithm, two assumptions exist: (1) land surface emissivities (LSE) at two adjacent frequencies are equal and (2) there are simple parameterizations that relate transmittance, atmospheric effective radiating temperature, and PWV. Error analyses were performed using radiosonde sounding observations from Zhangye, China, and CE318 measurements of Dalanzadgad (43°34′37′′N, 104°25′8′′E) and Singapore (1°17′52′′N, 103°46′48′′E) sites from Aerosol Robotic Network (AERONET), respectively. …”

Properties and Developments of Combustion and Gasification of Coal and Char in a CO2-Rich and Recycled Flue Gases Atmosphere by Rapid Heating by Zhigang Li, Xiaoming Zhang, Yuichi Sugai, Jiren Wang, Kyuro Sasaki

“…The laser heating makes a more ideal experimental condition compared with previous studies with a TG-DTA, because it is able to minimize effects of coal oxidation and combustion by rapid heating process like radiative heat transfer condition. The experimental results indicated that coal weight reduction ratio to gases followed the Arrhenius equation with increasing coal temperature; further which were increased around 5% with adding H2O in CO2-rich atmosphere. …”

Metrics and Methods for Evaluation of Over-The-Air Performance of MIMO User Equipment by Yifei Feng, Werner L. Schroeder, Christoph von Gagern, Adam Tankielun, Thomas Kaiser

“…The variety of different MIMO operating modes and the almost unlimited choice of possible multipath channel conditions under which UE performance may be evaluated are not accounted for by established Single Input-Single Output (SISO) Over-The-Air (OTA) performance metrics like Total Isotropic Sensitivity (TIS) and Total Radiated Power (TRP). As pointed out in this contribution, meaningful metrics and cost-effective, low-complexity measurement methods can, nevertheless, be derived by focusing on characterization of the physical attributes of UE and by adopting statistical metrics. …”
