Radioactive gaseous-aerosol releases from the WWR-M research reactor [PDF]
The radiation impact of the WWR-M research reactor is possible due to the release of radioactive substances into the environment, which are generated during both operation and decommissioning. One of the operator's responsibilities is to take measures to

Chemical ageing and transformation of diffusivity in semi-solid multi-component organic aerosol particles [PDF]
Recent experimental evidence underlines the importance of reduced diffusivity in amorphous semi-solid or glassy atmospheric aerosols. This paper investigates the impact of diffusivity on the ageing of multi-component reactive organic particles ...

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 ...

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.

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 ...

Impact on solar radiation parameters in India during COVID-19 lockdown: a case study
The current research objective is to explore changes in solar radiation variables across the Indian region during the lock-down period. Global Horizontal Irradiance (GHI), Direct Normal Irradiance (DNI) and Diffuse Horizontal Irradiance (DHI) were ...

South-hemispheric marine aerosol Hg and S isotope compositions reveal different oxidation pathways
Particle-bound mercury (PBM) records the oxidation of elemental mercury, of which the main oxidation pathways (Br∙/Cl∙/OH∙/O3) remain unclear, especially in the Southern Hemisphere. Here, we present latitudinal covariations of Hg and S-isotopic anomalies

Synoptic Situation of 28-31 October 2017 Severe Dust Storm over Iraq
The phenomenon of dust storms occurs in areas that are characterized by drought, and lack of rainfalls. There are many such areas around the world, including the Middle East in general and large parts of Iraq in particular.
