Regional characteristics of cloudiness in Serbia during the period 1991–2017
Meteorological Applications, 2023 Monthly climate data of days with clear and cloudy skies at 38 stations (1991–2017) and daily visual observations of total cloud amounts (TCA) available at six principal stations (1992–2017) were used to investigate regional, subregional, and temporal ...

The clear‐sky index to separate clear‐sky from cloudy‐sky situations in climate research
Geophysical Research Letters, 2000 Accurate surface radiation fluxes are required to quantify atmosphere‐surface energy exchanges. In climate research, detailed investigations of the influence of diverse atmospheric conditions on radiative fluxes ask for a well‐defined distinction between clear‐sky and cloudy‐sky situations.

An Edible Chitosan‐Based Acoustic Sensor for Sound‐Responsive Actuation in Edible Robots
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.This study introduces an edible acoustic sensor for robotic food and edible robotics. Built from a chitosan piezoelectric film between gold electrodes, the sensor enables acoustic communication through ON/OFF keying. Integrated into an edible robot with pneumatically actuated arms and neck, it responds to high‐frequency tones.

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.A tubular electrowetting pump moves alternating droplets through a millimeter‐wide channel in discrete, reversible steps, functioning as a fluidic stepper motor. With no moving parts and electrodes insulated from the liquid, it delivers silent, accurate flow. Flexibility allows the pump to be woven directly into textiles for wearable, medical, and soft‐

A Cloud‐Free Approach to Modeling Daily Downwelling Longwave Irradiance at Global Scale
Geophysical Research Letters, 2023 Parametric modeling of downwelling longwave irradiance under all‐sky conditions (LW↓) typically involves “correcting” a clear‐ (or non‐overcast) sky model estimate using solar‐irradiance‐based proxies of cloud cover in lieu of actual cloud cover given ...
