Gimballed Limb Observer for Radiance Imaging of the Atmosphere (GLORIA) scientific objectives [PDF]
Atmospheric Measurement Techniques, 2014 The upper troposphere/lower stratosphere (UTLS) represents an important part of the climate system. Even small changes in the composition and dynamic structure of this region have significant radiative effects.

The potential role of stratospheric ozone in the stratosphere‐ionosphere coupling during stratospheric warmings [PDF]
Geophysical Research Letters, 2012 The recent discovery of large ionospheric disturbances associated with sudden stratospheric warmings (SSW) has challenged the current understanding of mechanisms coupling the stratosphere and ionosphere. Non‐linear interaction of planetary waves and tides has been invoked as a primary mechanism for such coupling.

Asia-Pacific Journal of Chemical Engineering, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The growing impacts of climate change and energy scarcity demand environmentally sustainable refrigeration solutions. This study investigates eco‐friendly refrigerants (R152a, R290 and R600a) and their optimized ternary mixture as alternatives to R134a. Four blend compositions were analysed using experimental testing and REFPROP 10.0 modelling

Structural changes in the shallow and transition branch of the Brewer–Dobson circulation induced by El Niño [PDF]
Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics, 2019 The stratospheric Brewer–Dobson circulation (BDC) determines the transport and atmospheric lifetime of key radiatively active trace gases and further impacts surface climate through downward coupling.

Stratospheric predictability and sudden stratospheric warming events [PDF]
Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, 2009 A comparative study of the limit of predictability in the stratosphere and troposphere in a coupled general circulation model is carried out using the National Center for Environmental Prediction (NCEP) Climate Forecast System Interactive Ensemble (CFSIE).

Global analysis for periodic variations in gravity wave squared amplitudes and momentum fluxes in the middle atmosphere [PDF]
Annales Geophysicae, 2019 Atmospheric gravity waves (GWs) are an important coupling mechanism in the middle atmosphere. For instance, they provide a large part of the driving of long-period atmospheric oscillations such as the Quasi-Biennial Oscillation (QBO) and the semiannual ...

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This study integrates multidimensional sustainability indicators into a unified assessment approach to evaluate circular strategies in agri‐food industry businesses. This methodological approach is applied to empirically examine the case of the olive oil industry's by‐product valorization.

Sustainable polypropylene chair: A life cycle assessment and cost analysis of industrial production
Environmental Progress &Sustainable Energy, EarlyView.Abstract Due to their multiple properties, including flexibility, lightness, and strength, thermoplastics are an essential material in the development of processes at both industrial and domestic levels. However, thermoplastics are often derived from polymers synthesized using non‐renewable petroleum resources. This has environmental consequences.

Tomographic reconstruction of atmospheric gravity wave parameters from airglow observations [PDF]
Atmospheric Measurement Techniques, 2017 Gravity waves (GWs) play an important role in the dynamics of the mesosphere and lower thermosphere (MLT). Therefore, global observations of GWs in the MLT region are of particular interest.
