Dynamics of the In-Run in Ski Jumping: A Simulation Study [PDF]

Journal of Applied Biomechanics, 2005
A ski jumper tries to maintain an aerodynamic position in the in-run during changing environmental forces. The purpose of this study was to analyze the mechanical demands on a ski jumper taking the in-run in a static position. We simulated the in-run in ski jumping with a 4-segment forward dynamic model (foot, leg, thigh, and upper body).

Imaging a Quasar Accretion Disk with Microlensing [PDF]

, 1999
We show how analysis of a quasar high-magnification microlensing event may be used to construct a map of the frequency-dependent surface brightness of the quasar accretion disk.

Large Proportions of Surface Ozone and Premature Mortality Due to a Stratospheric Intrusion Event in North China

International Journal of Climatology, EarlyView.
This study, by examining a typical stratospheric intrusion event that occurred in North China from 30 to 31 July 2021, found that the event led to a sharp increase in near‐surface ozone concentrations by 23 ppbv within 36 h, accounting for 40% of the total observed ozone levels, with localised peaks exceeding 30 ppbv.

Modeling the Downwelling Longwave Radiation over a Groomed Ski Run under Clear Skies

Journal of Applied Meteorology and Climatology, 2013
AbstractThe surface radiation budget of a groomed ski run is important to ski racing. Variables such as snow-surface temperature and liquid water content depend upon the surface radiation budget and are crucial to preparing fast skis. This case study focuses on downwelling longwave radiation, measurements of which were made at a point on a ski run on ...
