Earth’s Radiation Budget: The Driver for Weather and Climate

open access: yes, 2012
Earth’s structure today is manifested in the known distribution of continents and oceans, in a variety of surface types, as well as in a surrounding atmosphere consisting of gaseous constituents, aerosols, and clouds. This complex composition defines a framework that determines the specific amounts of solar energy our planet currently absorbs, reflects,

Experimental study on burning rate and flame geometry in construction tunnel fires under high geothermal conditions

open access: yesDeep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.
Abstract As tunnel construction advances in lengths and depths, the construction of tunnels in high geothermal environments has become increasingly common, raising significant fire risks. In this study, a 1:20 scale model tunnel test platform was constructed to investigate the effects of a high geothermal environment on fire behavior in tunnels during ...
