Assessment of Soiling Dynamics and Cleaning Efficiency for Photovoltaic Modules Under Different Dust Environments

Solar RRL, EarlyView.
A laboratory framework reproduces site‐specific soiling and cleaning dynamics of photovoltaic modules using real dusts from contrasting climates. Accelerated humidity–temperature cycling replicates 1 month of outdoor cementation in only ≈ 1.5 days.

Performance of the operational ECMWF ensemble in predicting heavy rain associated with the Emilia‐Romagna flood in May 2023

Weather, EarlyView.
A devastating flood occurred in May 2023 in the Emilia‐Romagna region in northern Italy after 2 days with widespread accumulated precipitation exceeding 150mm. The event was associated with a quasi‐stationary upper‐level cutoff cyclone. This study investigates the performance of the operational ECMWF ensemble prediction system in capturing the cutoff ...
