Feasibility of using Nanofiltration membranes to delay Reverse Osmosis membrane fouling and to reduce energy consumption (BWC desalination plant) [PDF]
Journal of Water and Environmental Nanotechnology, 2023 The Beni Saf Water Company (BWC) desalination plant in Ain Témouchent (Algeria) uses reverse osmosis technique. This process, which is based on dense membranes operating at high pressure, produces a permeate with characteristics that exceeds the ...

Identification of snowfall microphysical processes from Eulerian vertical gradients of polarimetric radar variables [PDF]
Atmospheric Measurement Techniques, 2021 Polarimetric radar systems are commonly used to study the microphysics of precipitation. While they offer continuous measurements with a large spatial coverage, retrieving information about the microphysical processes that govern the evolution of ...

Synoptic conditions and atmospheric moisture pathways associated with virga and precipitation over coastal Adélie Land in Antarctica [PDF]
The Cryosphere, 2020 Precipitation falling over the coastal regions of Antarctica often experiences low-level sublimation within the dry katabatic layer. The amount of water that reaches the ground surface is thereby considerably reduced. This paper investigates the synoptic

From model to radar variables: a new forward polarimetric radar operator for COSMO [PDF]
Atmospheric Measurement Techniques, 2018 In this work, a new forward polarimetric radar operator for the COSMO numerical weather prediction (NWP) model is proposed. This operator is able to simulate measurements of radar reflectivity at horizontal polarization, differential reflectivity as ...

Microphysics and dynamics of snowfall associated with a warm conveyor belt over Korea [PDF]
Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics, 2020 On 28 February 2018, 57 mm of precipitation associated with a warm conveyor belt (WCB) fell within 21 h over South Korea. To investigate how the large-scale circulation influenced the microphysics of this intense precipitation event, we ...

Unraveling hydrometeor mixtures in polarimetric radar measurements [PDF]
Atmospheric Measurement Techniques, 2018 Radar-based hydrometeor classification typically comes down to determining the dominant type of hydrometeor populating a given radar sampling volume. In this paper we address the subsequent problem of inferring the secondary hydrometeor types present ...
