Detection of dimming/brightening in Italy from homogenized all-sky and clear-sky surface solar radiation records and underlying causes (1959–2013) [PDF]
Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics, 2016 A dataset of 54 daily Italian downward surface solar radiation (SSR) records has been set up collecting data for the 1959–2013 period. Special emphasis is given to the quality control and the homogenization of the records in order to ensure the ...

Uncertainties of parameterized surface downward clear-sky shortwave and all-sky longwave radiation. [PDF]
Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics, 2012 As many environmental models rely on simulating the energy balance at the Earth's surface based on parameterized radiative fluxes, knowledge of the inherent model uncertainties is important.

High Turbidity Solis Clear Sky Model: Development and Validation
Remote Sensing, 2018 The Solis clear sky model is a spectral scheme based on radiative transfer calculations and the Lambert–Beer relation. Its broadband version is a simplified fast analytical version; it is limited to broadband aerosol optical depths lower than 0.45, which

Improving The Accuracy of the Empirical Clear Sky Solar Irradiance Models
Annals of West University of Timisoara: Physics, 2013 This paper is focused on improving the quality of nowcasting solar irradiance by enhancing the clear sky component of the model. A simple linear correction for the average atmospheric transmittance is proposed.

Long-term analysis of clear-sky new particle formation events and nonevents in Hyytiälä [PDF]
Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics, 2017 New particle formation (NPF) events have been observed all around the world and are known to be a major source of atmospheric aerosol particles. Here we combine 20 years of observations in a boreal forest at the SMEAR II station (Station for Measuring ...

The impact of clear-sky biases of land surface temperature on monthly evapotranspiration estimation
International Journal of Applied Earth Observations and GeoinformationRemotely sensed land surface temperature (LST) is critical for retrieving evapotranspiration (ET). However, due to cloud contamination, LST is often limited to clear-sky conditions and the differences between clear-sky and all-sky LST will lead to clear ...

Molecular characterization of covRS mutations in M1UK Streptococcus pyogenes
FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.Group A Streptococcus (GAS) acquires covRS mutations driving a hypervirulent bacterial state, frequently associated with invasive disease‐like necrotizing fasciitis. We demonstrate that the newly emerged M1UK GAS lineage can also acquire these mutations.

Satellite Clear‐Sky Observations Overestimate Surface Urban Heat Islands in Humid Cities
Geophysical Research LettersSatellite‐based thermal infrared (TIR) land surface temperature (LST) is hindered by cloud cover and is applicable solely under clear‐sky conditions for estimating surface urban heat island intensity (SUHII).
