Abstract Water scarcity is a major threat to crop production and quality. Improving drought tolerance through variety selection requires a deeper understanding of plant ecophysiological responses, but large‐scale phenotyping remains a bottleneck. This study assessed the potential of high‐throughput tools (spectroscopy and poro‐fluorometry) to predict ...

Exploring the Use and Impact of Composite Materials in Robotics: A Systematic Review
ABSTRACT Lightweight and high‐strength materials are important in robotics, as structural design impacts efficiency, payload capacity, and energy consumption. Composite materials, with their superior stiffness‐to‐weight ratios and multifunctional properties, offer clear advantages over conventional metals and polymers.

Abstract Typhoon peripheral conditions modulate the formation and atmospheric fate of ozone precursors, yet the vertical distribution and the underlying physical‐chemical drivers remain less constrained. Here, we examine the vertical profiles of ozone precursor proxies, including formaldehyde (HCHO), glyoxal (CHOCHO), and nitrogen dioxide (NO2), in the

An advanced airborne triple-pulse 2-μm integrated path differential absorption (IPDA) lidar is under development at NASA Langley Research Center that targets both carbon dioxide (CO2) and water vapor (H2O) measurements simultaneously and independently ...

The Role of Lightning in Atmospheric Chemistry
Abstract Lightning has important effects on atmospheric constituents in primarily the middle and upper troposphere. We summarize the effects of lightning on atmospheric chemistry that have been published since the last major review in 2007. The estimates of NOx production by lightning (LNOx) are based on five methods: theoretical/laboratory estimates ...

Wafer‐Scale Near‐Infrared Metalenses With High Performance and Low Cost
Widespread adoption of metalenses is constrained by prohibitive cost of wafer‐level fabrication. This work achieves 8‐inch wafer‐level fabrication with high uniformity (feature deviation < 5%) and reliable performance by step‐and‐repeat nanoimprint lithography.

A New Lidar‐Based Observational Estimate for a Short‐Term Longwave High‐Cloud Feedback
Abstract High clouds play a substantial role in modulating the Earth's top‐of‐atmosphere radiative energy budget. Models project that changes in high‐cloud altitude and area in response to warming will have a net warming effect within the tropics. Yet, to our knowledge, a robust global observational constraint of a short‐term cloud feedback associated ...

Abstract Low‐level clouds over the Southern Ocean (SO) exert a strong influence on surface radiation, yet their representation in reanalyses and climate models remains uncertain. We evaluated cloud properties and surface radiative fluxes from ERA5, MERRA‐2, and the CAM‐ATRAS model using observations obtained over the SO by Japan's R/V Shirase during ...

Dust Layer Height Leads Atmospheric Boundary Layer Height by 3 hr Over the Taklimakan Desert
Abstract The vertical distribution of dust modulates its radiative forcing and long‐range transport, yet the diurnal relationship between dust layer height (DLH) and atmospheric boundary layer height (ABLH) remains poorly constrained by observations.

First Assessment of ICESat‐2 Summer Sea Ice Freeboard With Airborne Validation
Abstract ICESat‐2 has demonstrated solid performance in retrieving sea ice freeboard during winter, when sea ice surface types are well‐defined and leads provide reliable sea surface height references. Summer retrievals are challenging because melt ponds are not explicitly distinguished in the ATL07 surface classification and may be identified as ice ...
