Critical weather situations for renewable energies – Part B: Low stratus risk for solar power
Renewable Energy, 2017 AbstractAccurately predicting the formation, development and dissipation of fog and low stratus (LS) still poses a challenge for numerical weather prediction (NWP) models. Errors in the low cloud cover NWP forecasts directly impact the quality of photovoltaic (PV) power prediction.

Remote Sensing, 2021 The detection of low stratus and fog (LSF) at dawn remains limited because of their optical features and weak solar radiation. LSF could be better identified by simultaneous observations of two geostationary satellites from different viewing angles.

Effects of varying aerosol regimes on low‐level Arctic stratus [PDF]
Geophysical Research Letters, 2004 The effects on low‐level cloud microstructures of varying aerosol regimes in the Arctic are examined using ground‐based measurements obtained near Barrow, Alaska. Episodic ‘arctic haze’ events produced high cloud droplet concentrations, and small cloud droplet effective radii.

Journal of Advances in Modeling Earth Systems, 2021 The correct simulation of fog and low stratus (FLS) is a difficult task for numerical weather prediction (NWP) models. The Swiss Plateau experiences many days with FLS in winter. Most NWP models employ terrain‐following vertical coordinates.

Characteristics of Aerosol and Cloud over the Central Plain of North China in Summer
应用气象学报, 2021 The vertical distribution of aerosols and clouds is a key issue in the indirect climate effects of aerosols. Based on the aerosol and cloud droplet number concentration data observed by 6 aircrafts over the central plain of North China from July to ...

Low Limit for Effective Signal Strength in the Stratus OCT in Imperative Low Signal Strength Cases [PDF]
Korean Journal of Ophthalmology, 2012 To determine the lowest limit of signal strength that is still effective for accurate analysis of optic coherence tomography (OCT) values, we investigated the reproducibility of OCT scans by signal strength (SS).A total of 668 subjects were scanned for measurements of retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) thickness using the Stratus OCT twice on the same ...

Low-level stratiform clouds and dynamical features observed within the southern West African monsoon [PDF]
Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics, 2019 During the boreal summer, the monsoon season that takes place in West Africa is accompanied by low stratus clouds over land that stretch from the Guinean coast several hundred kilometers inland. Numerical climate and weather models need finer description

Disordered proteins and network disorder in network descriptions of protein structure, dynamics and function. Hypotheses and a comprehensive review [PDF]
, 2011 During the last decade, network approaches became a powerful tool to describe protein structure and dynamics. Here we review the links between disordered proteins and the associated networks, and describe the consequences of local, mesoscopic and global ...
