Recent decrease in inner‐core rain rate of tropical cyclones over the western North Pacific
The decreasing trend in inner‐core rain rate of tropical cyclones over the western North Pacific. Abstract The tendency in tropical cyclone (TC) rainfall is of great concern due to its remarkable contribution to global precipitation and extreme rainfall events.

Estimating errors in vehicle secondary aerosol production factors due to oxidation flow reactor response time [PDF]
Oxidation flow reactors used in secondary aerosol research do not immediately respond to changes in the inlet concentration of precursor gases because of their broad transfer functions.

Estimating aerosol emissions by assimilating observed aerosol optical depth in a global aerosol model [PDF]
Abstract. This study estimates the emission fluxes of a range of aerosol species and aerosol precursor at the global scale. These fluxes are estimated by assimilating daily total and fine mode aerosol optical depth (AOD) at 550 nm from the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) into a global aerosol model of intermediate complexity ...

A hollow‐structured Fe3O4@AgAu@PDA‐ZnPc nanosphere has been developed, exhibiting controllable catalytic activity and “photothermal‐photodynamic‐Ag+” coupling antibacterial characteristics. When subjected to a rotating magnetic field, these performances are uniquely enhanced by magnetic propulsion, allowing the nanosphere to function as a magnetic ...

Distinct response of near surface air temperature to clouds in North China
Cloud weakens Tmax and increases Tmin, and thus decreases daily temperature range (DTR), which is mainly due to the blocking effects of clouds to downwelling solar radiation and trapping effects to upwelling longwave radiation. However, the relative impacts of clouds on Tmax and Tmin vary with locations, with relatively stronger impact on Tmin and DTR ...

CFD modeling of a vehicle exhaust laboratory sampling system: sulfur-driven nucleation and growth in diluting diesel exhaust [PDF]
A new exhaust aerosol model CFD-TUTEAM (Tampere University of Technology Exhaust Aerosol Model for Computational Fluid Dynamics) was developed. It is based on modal aerosol dynamics modeling with log-normal assumption of particle distributions. The model

JWST Transit Spectra II: Constraining Aerosol Species, Particle-size Distributions, Temperature, and Metallicity for Cloudy Exoplanets [PDF]
JWST will provide moderate resolution transit spectra with continuous wavelength coverage from the optical to the mid-infrared for the first time. In this paper, we illustrate how different aerosol species, size-distributions, and spatial distributions encode information in JWST transit spectra.

Designing for Degradation: Transient Devices Enabled by (Nano)Cellulose
Recent progress in transient devices enabled by (nano)cellulosic materials is reviewed. Transiency mechanisms, advantages of nanocelluloses, and a suite of applications are discussed. A circular thinking approach coupled with life cycle assessment is applied to critically revisit the potential, advantages, and challenges of nanocellulose‐enabled ...

Identification and Quantification of Aerosol Hot-spots over Lahore Region using MODIS Data [PDF]
The increased concentration of aerosols in the air caused by ever-rising urbanization and the development of various industries has horrendous consequences on human health, environment and climate. The first step to counter adverse effects of air pollution in any region is to identify locations with a high concentration of aerosols, termed aerosol hot ...
