Retrieval of the optical properties of tropospheric aerosols over Athens, Greece combining a 6-wavelength Raman-lidar and the CALIPSO VIS-NIR lidar system: Case-study analysis of a Saharan dust intrusion over the Eastern Mediterranean [PDF]
The National Technical University of Athens (NTUA) 6-wavelength (355, 387, 407, 532, 607 and 1064 nm) Raman lidar system has been used to derive the aerosol optical properties (e.g. the lidar ratio, the aerosol backscatter and extinction profile) and the

Diurnal Air–Surface Temperature Dynamics in Hong Kong: An Analysis Across Land Use and Climate Zones
Daytime and nighttime air temperature (Ta) from automatic weather stations and land surface temperature (Ts) derived from ASTER and Landsat 8–9 are used to examine the relationship between Ta and Ts. The spatial and statistical characteristics of Ta − Ts dynamics are further analysed across land use (LU) and local climate zones (LCZ).

How Well Is Surface Diurnal Temperature Range Represented by Observations at 2‐m Level
We demonstrate that geostationary satellites depict well the Diurnal Temperature Range (DTR) in the US but differ from information at 2 m level from model outputs. Upper: mean diurnal temperature range (DTR) using GOES‐E based land surface temperature (LST) for January (left) and July (right) during 2004–2009. Lower: mean diurnal temperature range (DTR)

Abstract Objectives Our aim was to study the association between residential land cover and greenness during childhood and risk of developing celiac disease (CeD). Methods The Celiac Prediction in Skåne study prospectively followed 5969 human leukocyte antigen (HLA)‐genotyped children born 2001–2004 who were screened for CeD at ages 3, 9, and 15 years ...

Characterizing the Spatial Uniformity of Light Intensity and Spectrum for Indoor Crop Production
Maintaining uniform photon irradiance distribution above the plant canopy is a fundamental goal in controlled environment agriculture (CEA). Spatial variation in photon irradiance below the light saturation point will drive differences in individual ...

Adaptive Display White Point Under Various Ambient Conditions. Part 2: Dual Illumination
This study was designed to investigate how an adaptive display white point should be adjusted under different foreground‐background illumination conditions. It was found that the background illumination had a more significant effect. ABSTRACT Adaptive displays are designed to enhance the user viewing experience by dynamically responding to ambient ...
