Observed and CMIP5‐Simulated Radiative Flux Variability Over West Africa
We explore the ability of general circulation models in the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project (CMIP5) to recreate observed seasonal variability in top‐of‐the‐atmosphere and surface radiation fluxes over West Africa.

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

Strong Local Evaporative Cooling Over Land Due to Atmospheric Aerosols
Aerosols can enhance terrestrial productivity through increased absorption of solar radiation by the shaded portion of the plant canopy—the diffuse radiation fertilization effect.

The COVID‐19 pandemic led to a backlog of filtration material for N95 Filtering Facepiece Respirators (FFRs). An alternative face mask filter material is presented, consisting of an unsupported, nonwoven layer of uncharged polystyrene microfibers. This microfiber material meets NIOSH N95 FFR filtration and breathability requirements, demonstrates ...

Summertime Aerosol Radiative Effects and Their Dependence on Temperature over the Southeastern USA
Satellite data suggest that summertime aerosol optical depth (AOD) over the southeastern USA depends on the air/land surface temperature, but the magnitude of the radiative effects caused by this dependence remains unclear.

Techniques for measuring atmospheric aerosols at the High Resolution Fly's Eye experiment [PDF]
We describe several techniques developed by the High Resolution Fly's Eye experiment for measuring aerosol vertical optical depth, aerosol horizontal attenuation length, and aerosol phase function. The techniques are based on measurements of side-scattered light generated by a steerable ultraviolet laser and collected by an optical detector designed to

Barrier for Particle Dispersion Control During Mastoidectomy
Introduction The China Health Authority alerted the World Health Organization (WHO) of several cases of pneumonia, and the WHO has declared the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) a global pandemic. Mastoidectomy is a high-risk aerosol generating procedure with
