Measurement report: The ice-nucleating activity of lichen sampled in a northern European boreal forest by U. Proske, U. Proske, U. Proske, M. P. Adams, G. C. E. Porter, M. A. Holden, M. A. Holden, J. Bäck, B. J. Murray

“…The small size of the INPs from lichen means they have the potential to either be emitted directly into the atmosphere or be associated with larger particles, such as lichenous reproductive aerosol types (spores or diaspores). We also show that the INPs from lichens from Hyytiälä are sensitive to heat, which is similar to the INPs sampled from the atmosphere of Hyytiälä and consistent with the presence of ice-active proteins. …”

Evaluation of frost heave model using measured values for temperature and water intake rate near the freezing front by Takeshi Ishizaki, Satoshi Nishimura

“…In the present study, systematic frost heave experiments were conducted under various temperature gradients and freezing rates, and the relationships between the water intake rate and the freezing front, freezing rate, temperature gradient in the frozen zone, and temperature of the ice lens growth surface were investigated. The experimental results showed that there is a linear relationship among the water intake rate, freezing rate, and temperature gradient, and that there is also a linear relationship between the water intake rate and the temperature of the ice lens growth surface. …”

Turbulent heat flux dynamics along the Dotson and Getz ice-shelf fronts (Amundsen Sea, Antarctica) by B. Jacob, B. Y. Queste, M. D. du Plessis

“…By obtaining the reconstructed flux, the reduced heat loss bias (12 W m<span class="inline-formula">⁻²</span>) reduced the seasonal bias in sea surface temperature (heat content) to <span class="inline-formula">−</span>0.17 °C (<span class="inline-formula">−</span>3.30 <span class="inline-formula">×</span> 10<span class="inline-formula">⁷</span> J) over the 35 d. This study shows that caution should be applied when retrieving ERA5 turbulent flux along the ice shelves and that a reconstructed flux using ERA5 variables shows better accuracy.…”

Thermodynamic Analysis of a Rankine Cycle Powered Vapor Compression Ice Maker Using Solar Energy by Bing Hu, Xianbiao Bu, Weibin Ma

“…The results show that the cooling power per square meter collector and ice production per square meter collector per day depend largely on generation temperature and condensation temperature and they increase firstly and then decrease with increasing generation temperature. …”

A fault tolerant control for iced aircraft based on fixed-time incremental dynamic inversion with FTESO by JIANG Feihong, LIU Xiaoxiong, LIU Zhenbao, LI Yu, CHEN Jiaxin

“…Moreover, the control method can ensure that the aircraft state errors converge to a stable region in a fixed time, and the convergence time does not depend on initial errors. Simulation results show that the designed controller is able to overcome the effect of icing on the aircraft and ensure that the aircraft achieves the desired flight performance even in angular acceleration disturbances.…”

Estimating the contribution of Arctic sea-ice loss to central Asia temperature anomalies: the case of winter 2020/2021 by Lara R Cosford, Rohit Ghosh, Marlene Kretschmer, Clare Oatley, Theodore G Shepherd

“…Using a causal network framework grounded in known physical mechanisms, we assess how strongly one factor directly influences another (i.e. the causal relationship) and apply this analysis to the anomalies from 2020/2021. We show that although year-to-year BKS-ice variations have only a minor impact on Central Asia temperatures, that causal effect becomes important for attribution and prediction when we consider the large long-term trend in BKS-ice cover. …”
