The Contribution of the Thin and Dense Cloud to the Microphysical Properties of Ice Clouds over the Tibetan Plateau and Its Surrounding Regions

Atmosphere
The vertical structure and optical–microphysical properties of ice clouds determine their radiative effects. With an average altitude above 3000 m above mean sea level (AMSL) and unique thermal circulation, the Tibetan Plateau forms ice clouds with ...

Recirculation over complex terrain [PDF]

Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, 2017
AbstractThis study generated eddy covariance data to investigate atmospheric dynamics leeward of a small, forested hillside in upstate New York. The causes and effects of recirculation eddies were examined to support the larger goal of improving measurement of the exchange of energy, moisture, and trace gases between the terrestrial biosphere and the ...

Light‐Driven Quadrupedal Walking Biohybrid Robot With Antagonistic Muscle‐Rings and Inclined Joints

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
This work presents a light‐driven quadrupedal walking biohybrid robot powered by antagonistic muscle‐rings that achieve alternating walking gait. Optical training improved reproducibility of cultured muscle tissues, while caffeine treatment enhanced contractile force.

Change in diurnal temperature range on the Tibetan plateau in the last 40 years and its influencing factors

Scientific Reports
The Tibetan Plateau (TP) is a sensitive area for climate change, with its temperature affected by global warming. However, the variation in the diurnal temperature range (DTR) remains unclear.

Conically scanning lidar error in complex terrain

Meteorologische Zeitschrift, 2009
Conically scanning lidars assume the flow to be homogeneous in order to deduce the horizontal wind speed. However, in mountainous or complex terrain this assumption is not valid implying a risk that the lidar will derive an erroneous wind speed.

Bridging the polarimetric structure and lightning activity of isolated thunderstorm cells during the cloud life cycle [PDF]

Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics
Polarimetric structures detected by radar can characterize cloud microphysics and dynamics. Many studies have indicated that differential reflectivity (ZDR) and specific differential phase (KDP) columns, which serve as proxies for updraught strength, are

Systematic Exploration of 3D Concrete Printing Parameters for Conformal Printing on Sloped Surfaces

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
A conformal slicing algorithm is developed for robotic 3D concrete printing (3DCP) on sloped surfaces as a first step toward printing slab‐on‐grade foundations on uneven terrain. Systematic experiments quantify the effects of nozzle speed, extrusion rate, and toolpath direction on filament dimension and stability.

Technical Feasibility Study of Autonomous Field Robot‐Based on‐the‐go Assessment of Soil Nutrients Using Ion‐Sensitive Field‐Effect Transistors

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
Autonomous field robots equipped with ISFET‐based sensors enable rapid, spatially resolved soil nutrient analysis directly in the field. An automated system based on the BoniRob platform is presented for standardized on‐site extraction and measurement of key macronutrients and soil pH.
