The flow structure behind vortex generators embedded in a decelerating turbulent boundary layer [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
The objective of the present work is to analyse the behaviour of a turbulent decelerating boundary layer under the effect of both passive and active jets vortex generators (VGs).

Characteristics of Freeze–Thaw Cycles in an Endorheic Basin on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau Based on SBAS-InSAR Technology

open access: yesRemote Sensing, 2022
The freeze–thaw (F-T) cycle of the active layer (AL) causes the “frost heave and thaw settlement” deformation of the terrain surface. Accurately identifying its amplitude and time characteristics is important for climate, hydrology, and ecology research ...

Fluid Migration through Permafrost and the Pool of Greenhouse Gases in Frozen Soils of an Oil and Gas Field

open access: yesRemote Sensing, 2022
Most methane (CH4) and carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions originate from the biodegradation of organic matter of soils and of degrading permafrost in the Arctic.

Active layer depths at a thermokarst lake in the Mackenzie Delta and on Tuktoyaktuk Island, Northwest Territories, Canada

open access: yes, 2022
This dataset contains Permafrost active layer depths taken in September 2021 at 28 locations on Tuktoyaktuk Island (Beaufort Sea) as well as next to a small thermokarst lake (“Lake 3”) between the villages of Tuktoyaktuk and Inuvik, Northwest Territories,

High-resolution electrical resistivity tomography applied to patterned ground, Wedel Jarlsberg Land, south-west Spitsbergen [PDF]

open access: yesPolar Research, 2015
This article presents results of two-dimensional electrical resistivity tomography (ERT) applied to three types of patterned ground in Wedel-Jarlsberg Land (Svalbard), carried out in late July 2012. The structures investigated include sorted circles, non-

Tuning Technique for Active FSS Arrays [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
A novel biasing technique is described for active frequency selective slot arrays. The bandpass response can be switched between transmitting and reflecting modes, or tuned over a predetermined frequency range using two different biasing circuit ...

Recent Approaches to Controlling the Nanoscale Morphology of Polymer-Based Bulk-Heterojunction Solar Cells

open access: yesEnergies, 2013
The need for clean, inexpensive and renewable energy has increasingly turned research attention towards polymer photovoltaic cells. However, the performance efficiency of these devices is still low in comparison with silicon-based devices.

Recent evolution of the active layer in the Morenas Coloradas rock glacier, Central Andes, Mendoza, Argentina and its relation with kinematics

open access: yesCuadernos de Investigación Geográfica, 2020
Between 2008 and 2016 the Morenas Coloradas rock glacier in the Central Andes of Mendoza showed different thermal characteristics at three monitoring sites in active layers, Balcón I (3560 m a.s.l.), Balcón I Superior (3590 m a.s.l.) and Balcón II (3770 ...

Influence of Rainfall Changes on the Temperature Regime of Permafrost in Central Yakutia

open access: yesLand, 2021
Climate change effects, such as melting of glaciers and sea ice in response to rising temperatures, may lead to an increase in global water availability and thus in precipitation.

Seasonal InSAR Displacements Documenting the Active Layer Freeze and Thaw Progression in Central-Western Spitsbergen, Svalbard

open access: yesRemote Sensing, 2021
In permafrost areas, the active layer undergoes seasonal frost heave and thaw subsidence caused by ice formation and melting. The amplitude and timing of the ground displacement cycles depend on the climatic and ground conditions. Here we used Sentinel-1
