The Sun's position in the sky

open access: yes, 2013
We express the position of the Sun in the sky as a function of time and the observer's geographic coordinates. Our method is based on applying rotation matrices to vectors describing points on the celestial sphere.

A Remarkable Sunset

open access: yesNature, 1885
WHILE out for a walk this afternoon I was struck by a peculiarity in the sunset which I do not remember to have seen noticed before. The sun set about 4.43 p.m., and there was the usual “after-glow.” I began to notice this first about five o'clock; there was then in the west a large bank of cumulus cloud rather low down, above this was a brilliant ...

Saplings of significance: Nurturing cultural value of new tree plantings through participatory opportunities

open access: yesPeople and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Tree‐planting initiatives are a crucial part of international sustainability and climate action efforts. Yet, many of these initiatives fail to achieve their long‐term sustainability and climate goals. The role of community value is an often‐overlooked factor in promoting the success of new tree plantings.

Understanding bats in English churches: A citizen science approach

open access: yesPeople and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract As the global human population expands, human–wildlife interactions are increasingly common. Some bat species use churches as roosting sites, and conservation conflicts are common, often due to the increased cleaning burden and damage caused by bat excreta.

A Validated GC‐MS Method for Major Terpenes Quantification in Hydrodistilled Cannabis sativa Essential oil

open access: yesPhytochemical Analysis, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction Terpenes, which are found in high concentrations in the essential oil fraction of the Cannabis sativa flower, have demonstrated potential in many therapeutic and industrial applications. Objectives This work reports on a method developed for quantifying 18 terpenes in C. sativa essential oil obtained through hydrodistillation. The

Revisiting measurement and representation errors in geophysical sciences: From classical collocation‐based measurement error estimation to “sampling‐aware field‐informed retrieval”, a method that explicitly accounts for representation errors

open access: yesQuarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.
Geophysical fields exhibit structure across a wide range of scales such that it is insufficient to define errors as deviations from a reference truth. This work takes filtering into account to define measurement, model, and representation errors. A new measurement‐error estimation method, called sampling‐aware field‐informed retrieval (SAFIR), is ...

Effective action of beta-deformed N = 4 SYM theory: Farewell to two-loop BPS diagrams

open access: yes, 2007
Within the background field approach, all two-loop sunset vacuum diagrams, which occur in the Coulomb branch of N = 2 superconformal theories(including N = 4 SYM), obey the BPS condition m_3 = m_1 + m_2, where the masses are generated by the scalars ...

Where numerical weather prediction meets large‐eddy simulations in a convective boundary layer during the FESSTVaL field experiment

open access: yesQuarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.
We exploit the Field Experiment on Sub‐mesoscale Spatio‐Temporal Variability in Lindenberg (FESSTVaL) to compare the performance of an NWP model at sub‐km resolutions with a traditional LES model. Focusing on clear‐sky ABL turbulence (June 14), shallow convective clouds and surface radiation (June 27), and deep convective cold pools (June 29), we find ...

Strength and competitiveness are more strongly predictive of retrospective sport participation than 2D:4D in university-aged women

open access: yesFACETS, 2019
Objective: Females continue to participate in sport at lower rates than males. Girls who participate in sport gain many advantages. Even with programs designed to emphasize participation, some females continue with sport participation while others do not.
