Comparison of Airborne Water Vapor Lidar Observations with ECMWF Analyses and first Assimilation Experiments [PDF]
Water vapor is the most important greenhouse gas and controls cloud formation and the evolution of weather systems. As its tropospheric concentration may rapidly vary over four orders of magnitude, accurate monitoring of water vapor, especially in the ...

Model-based inference for biomass estimation in a LiDAR sample survey in Hedmark County, Norway [PDF]
In forest inventories, regression models are often applied to predict quantities such as biomass at the level of sampling units. In this paper, we propose a model-based inference framework for combining sampling and model errors in the variance ...

Responsive Phase Gradient Metasurface for Laser Stealth and Dynamic Thermal Camouflage
The graphical abstract depicts a phase‐gradient metasurface enabling directional scattering and emissivity‐controlled thermal radiation. The engineered phase profile redistributes the reflected optical momentum, suppressing specular reflection and generating non‐specular scattering.

From Planar to 3D Nanophotonic Lenses: Advancing Design, Fabrication, and Applications
Three‐dimensional nanophotonic lenses are enabled by an integrated workflow that links design parameterization, full‐wave electromagnetic simulation, computational optimization, and freeform fabrication. This Review summarizes how these tools expand optical design freedom beyond a single patterned plane by enriching the local meta‐atom response and ...

Latent Heat Fluxes over Complex Terrain Measured by Airborne Water Vapour and Wind Lidars [PDF]
The combination of a water vapour and a wind lidar on an aircraft is an interesting new tool that allows to measure latent heat flux profiles and to portray the small- to mesoscale variability beneath the aircraft trajectory with high accuracy and ...
