Relating Ocean Biogeochemistry and Low‐Level Cloud Properties Over the Southern Oceans
Geophysical Research LettersThere is growing evidence that marine microorganisms may influence cloud cover over the ocean through their impact on sea spray and trace gas emissions, further forming cloud droplets or ice crystals.

Spatial and Temporal Features of the Frequency of Cloud Occurrence over China Based on CALIOP
Advances in Meteorology, 2017 Spatial and temporal distribution of cloud vertical structure are key components of global climate change. The occurrence of clouds over China and its surrounding areas has been calculated based on cloud layer products from the Cloud-Aerosol Lidar with ...

Fold Walker: An Origami‐Inspired Quadruped Robot for Multipattern Locomotion and Object Grasping
Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.This article presents Fold Walker, an origami‐inspired quadruped robot capable of multipattern locomotion and object grasping. With each leg featuring two rotational folds, the robot can transform from a flat 2D configuration into complex 3D poses. Furthermore, its trunk and legs can be one‐shot 3D printed as a unified structure, greatly simplifying ...

Summary of results and conclusions based on analysis of volume imaging and high spectral resolution lidar data acquired during FIRE phase 1, part 1 [PDF]
The collection of long term global statistics on cloud cover may be most easily accomplished with satellite based observations; however, measurements derived from passive satellite retrieval methods must be calibrated and verified by in situ or ground ...

Occlusion Effects and the Distribution of Interstellar Cloud Sizes and Masses
, 1995 The frequency distributions of sizes of ``clouds" and ``clumps" within clouds are significantly flatter for extinction surveys than for CO spectral line surveys, even for comparable size ranges. A possible explanation is the blocking of extinction clouds

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.Visual teach‐and‐repeat (VTR) navigation allows robots to learn and follow routes without building a full metric map. We show that navigation accuracy for VTR can be improved by integrating a topological map with error‐drift correction based on stereo vision.
