Dry soils can intensify mesoscale convective systems [PDF]

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2020
SignificanceSoil moisture plays a key role in the climate system by affecting rainfall and drought over land. Through its impact on temperature, humidity, and wind in the lower atmosphere, it can influence where thunderstorms initiate. However, in many regions of the world, traveling storm clusters known as mesoscale convective systems (MCSs) are the ...

Initiation of a Stable Convective Hydroclimatic Regime in Central America Circa 9000 Years BP [PDF]

, 2020
Many Holocene hydroclimate records show rainfall changes that vary with local orbital insolation. However, some tropical regions display rainfall evolution that differs from gradual precessional pacing, suggesting that direct rainfall forcing effects ...

Comparative study of the loss of vitamin C in chalarina (Casimiroa edulis) by four methods of dehydration

Scientia Agropecuaria, 2010
The aim of this study was to compare the loss of chalarina vitamin C after applying four methods of dehydration: vacuum osmotic dehydration combined with convective drying, convective drying, osmotic dehydration combined with vacuum freeze-drying, and ...

A Numerical Implementation of the Soret Effect in Drying Processes [PDF]

, 2020
Drying of porous media is strictly governed by heat and mass transfer. However, contrary to the definition that drying is simultaneous transport mechanisms of heat and mass, most past and current models either account for temperature or concentration ...

Advances in understanding large-scale responses of the water cycle to climate change [PDF]

, 2020
Globally, thermodynamics explains an increase in atmospheric water vapor with warming of around 7%/°C near to the surface. In contrast, global precipitation and evaporation are constrained by the Earth's energy balance to increase at ∼2–3%/°C.

Air drying of blueberry fruits: Drying kinetics, mathematical modeling and physical properties [PDF]

Journal on Processing and Energy in Agriculture, 2019
The hot air convective drying of blueberries (Vaccinium corymbosum) in a thin layer was performed using a laboratory-scale dryer. The experiments were carried out at drying air temperatures of 60, 70 and 80 o C, and drying air velocities of 0.5 and 1.5 m/

Hydroxycinnamic Acids and Carotenoids of Dried Loquat Fruit cv. ‘Algar’ Affected by Freeze-, Convective-, Vacuum-Microwave- and Combined-Drying Methods

Molecules, 2020
The effect of different drying techniques (freeze, convective, vacuum-microwave and combined drying) on the drying kinetics, the phytochemical compounds and sensory characteristics in loquat cultivar ‘Algar’ was studied. The convective drying resulted in
