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.

Photocatalytic Water Splitting on the Lunar Surface: Prospects for In Situ Resource Utilization
Advanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.Water has been found in craters on the moon nearby locations which are illuminated >80% of the time. Photocatalysis uses energy from sunlight to drive chemical reactions such as water splitting to produce oxygen and hydrogen. It is a scalable technology that requires lighter equipment and utilizes resources available on the moon. ABSTRACT The discovery

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.

Chlorine isotope composition in chlorofluorocarbons CFC-11, CFC-12 and CFC-113 in firn, stratospheric and tropospheric air [PDF]
, 2014 The stratospheric degradation of chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) releases chlorine, which is a major contributor to the destruction of stratospheric ozone (O3).

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

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 ...
