Role of eyewall and rainband eddy forcing in tropical cyclone intensification [PDF]

Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics, 2019
While turbulence is commonly regarded as a flow feature pertaining to the planetary boundary layer (PBL), intense turbulent mixing generated by cloud processes also exists above the PBL in the eyewall and rainbands of a tropical cyclone (TC).

The Extreme Energy Events experiment [PDF]

Proceedings of 36th International Cosmic Ray Conference — PoS(ICRC2019), 2019
The Extreme Energy Events experiment (EEE), a strategic project of Centro Fermi, aims to study Extensive Air Showers (EAS) with a network of Multigap Resistive Plate Chamber (MRPC) detectors, mainly installed in Italian high schools. The network presently counts 59 muon telescopes, each composed by three planes of MRPC. The total covered area is more
