Ultrathin Tropical Tropopause Clouds (UTTCs) : I. Cloud morphology and occurrence [PDF]

, 2003
Subvisible cirrus clouds (SVCs) may contribute to dehydration close to the tropical tropopause. The higher and colder SVCs and the larger their ice crystals, the more likely they represent the last efficient point of contact of the gas phase with the ice

FPGAs in The Cloud [PDF]

Computing in Science & Engineering, 2021
As cloud computing grows,  the types of computational hardware available in the cloud are diversifying. Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs) are a relatively new addition to high-performance computing in the cloud, with the ability to accelerate a range of different applications, and the flexibility to offer different cloud computing models.

Dehydration potential of ultrathin clouds at the tropical tropopause. [PDF]

, 2003
We report on the first simultaneous in situ and remote measurements of subvisible cirrus in the uppermost tropical troposphere. The observed cirrus, called UTTCs (ultrathin tropical tropopause clouds), are the geometrically (200–300 m) and optically (τ ≈

Investigation of the effective peak supersaturation for liquid-phase clouds at the high-alpine site Jungfraujoch, Switzerland (3580 m a.s.l.) [PDF]

, 2014
Aerosols influence the Earth's radiation budget directly through absorption and scattering of solar radiation in the atmosphere but also indirectly by modifying the properties of clouds. However, climate models still suffer from large uncertainties

Schistosomiasis transmission at high altitude crater lakes in Western Uganda

BMC Infectious Diseases, 2008
Background Contrary to previous reports which indicated no transmission of schistosomiasis at altitude >1,400 m above sea level in Uganda, in this study it has been established that schistosomiasis transmission can take place at an altitude range of 1487–

The Cloud

Visual Studies, 2012
This short essay is an introduction to The Cloud, an unrealized architectural proposal for an observation deck as a monument to the London 2012 Olympics. The Cloud would allow visitors to immerse themselves in weather, and the city to connect with digital data; it proposes an innovative solution for energy harvesting and a bottom-up financing model ...
