A Quality Control Concept for Radar Reflectivity, Polarimetric Parameters, and Doppler Velocity [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
Over the last few years the use of weather radar data has become a fundamental part of various applications like rain-rate estimation, nowcasting of severe weather events, and assimilation into numerical weather prediction models.

Self‐Sustaining Hybrid Passive Cooler Enabling Highly Effective Thermal Management for Outdoor Electronics

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
An innovative hybrid passive cooler integrates a porous radiative coating and an atmospheric moisture‐harvesting hydrogel within a melamine sponge skeleton, synergizing radiative cooling, sensible‐heat absorption, and latent‐heat evaporation. It maintains an average 8.3°C sub‐ambient cooling under sunlight and a maximum ∼42.4°C drop under 2000 W·m−2 ...

Errors and uncertainties in microwave link rainfall estimation explored using drop size measurements and high-resolution radar data [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
Microwave links can be used for the estimation of path-averaged rainfall by using either the path-integrated attenuation or the difference in attenuation of two signals with different frequencies and/or polarizations.

Improvements of Signal Gain for MEASAT-2 and MEASAT-3 using Orbital Diversity under Rain Attenuation: A Simulation Approach. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
The effect of rain attenuation becomes significant for satellites operating at 10 GHz and above. This has become a matter of concern, especially in tropical regions where relatively heavy rainfall occurs throughout the year.

Bridging Horizontal to Vertical Radiative Cooling

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Radiative cooling materials are mature but only work facing the sky, confining them to rooftops. Instead of developing new ones, this system bridges existing horizontal coolers to vertical windows using blades outside the glass. On an occupied urban building, windows stay up to 1.4°C below air temperature while preserving daylight, outward views, and ...

Perovskite CsPbI3 Nanocrystal and Nanowire Incorporated G‐C3N4 Nanosheets for CO2 Reduction and NO Removal

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
CsPbI3 nanostructures integrated with g‐C3N4 formed S‐scheme heterojunctions enabling efficient photocatalytic CO2 reduction and NO abatement. The g‐C3N4/CsPbI3 nanowires achieved a CO production rate of 4.6 µmol g−1 h−1, while nanocrystal composites delivered 69.5% NO removal with only 5.0% NO2 selectivity, driven by highly energetic charge carriers ...

Ionically Counter‐Programmable Phase‐Separation of Superstable Star‐Biopolyamide Coacervates for Electrothermally‐Responsive Pseudosolid Smart Windows

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
We develop bio‐based, star‐branched polyamides from itaconic acid and cadaverine with tunable lower critical solution temperature (LCST) transitions for dynamic solar modulation. Specific metal ion coordination with pyrrolidone moieties drives precise phase transitions via calcium‐induced salting‐in and sodium‐induced salting‐out mechanisms. Formulated
