Evaluation of the ability of radiation transmission model and MODIS images to estimate aerosol optical depth [PDF]
Aerosols play an important role in the climate system of the atmosphere. These atmospheric particles are directly affected by changing radiation exposure by diffusing and absorbing different wavelengths and indirectly by changing the optical properties ...

Spatial and temporal variations of aerosols around Beijing in summer 2006: Model evaluation and source apportionment [PDF]
Regional aerosol model calculations were made using the Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF)-Community Multiscale Air Quality (CMAQ) and WRF-chem models to study spatial and temporal variations of aerosols around Beijing, China, in the summer of 2006 ...

Extreme Saharan dust events expand northward over the Atlantic and Europe, prompting record-breaking PM10 and PM2.5 episodes [PDF]
Unprecedented extreme Saharan dust (duxt) events have recently expanded northward from subtropical NW Africa to the Atlantic and Europe, with severe impacts on the Canary Islands, mainland Spain and continental Portugal.

Application of a wireless sensor system for object protection using infrared sensors
In this work, an algorithm that makes decisions on whether or not an object under protection has been penetrated based on data from infrared (IR) sensors included in a wireless sensor system is considered. Based on theoretical considerations, methods for

Constraints on climate forcing by sulphate aerosols from seasonal changes in Earth's spin [PDF]
Angular momentum exchanges between atmosphere and solid Earth are strongly modulated by variations in global atmospheric circulation. Geodetically determined length-of-day (LOD) fluctuations provide an independent resource to investigate climate ...

On the Insignificance of Photochemical Hydrocarbon Aerosols in the Atmospheres of Close-in Extrasolar Giant Planets [PDF]
The close-in extrasolar giant planets (CEGPs) reside in irradiated environments much more intense than that of the giant planets in our solar system. The high UV irradiance strongly influences their photochemistry and the general current view believed ...

Development and qualitative assesment of medicinal aerosol with lidocaine hydrochloride based on sodium alginate [PDF]
Medicinal aerosols for external use are a less popular form of the drug than aerosols for internal use, i.e., inhalation aerosols. Most common are dermal and nasal aerosols. If the aerosol is used on damaged skin, it must be sterile.

Photophoresis – a Forgotten Force ??
In general a force will act on a particle illuminated by light or other radiation and absorbing part of the flux, and as a consequence a motion will result.
