A mosaic of microclimates: biodiversity outcomes and wildlife habitat potential in large‐scale solar facilities

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The rapid global expansion of photovoltaic (PV) solar facilities, now comprising nearly 80% of the recent and projected growth of renewable electricity, represents one of the most significant land‐use changes of the 21st century. While PV facilities are critical for decarbonising energy systems, their large spatial footprint and infrastructure

Thermochromic Radiative Cooling Coatings with Robust Superhydrophobicity for Energy‐Efficient Buildings

ENERGY &ENVIRONMENTAL MATERIALS, EarlyView.
A scalable, color‐adaptive radiative cooling coating is developed to enable dynamic spectral regulation via a reversible thermochromic transition at ~45 °C and a high solar reflectance of 91.7%. The coating achieves 4.44 °C outdoor sub‐ambient cooling while providing robust superhydrophobicity and environmental durability through its micro/nano ...

Temperature Coefficient Analysis of Polycrystalline PV Modules Under Field Conditions in Ghana

Energy Science &Engineering, EarlyView.
Field measurements from a commercial PV plant in Ghana show polycrystalline module temperature coefficients of −0.473%/°C—31% higher than manufacturer values—highlighting the risk of underestimating energy losses and degradation in fast‐growing West African solar deployments.

Chemistry Underlying the Behavior of Food and Agricultural Components During Industrial Manufacturing Processes and Its Implications in Quality Assurance, Food Quality, and Food Safety Management: A Systematic Review

Food Safety and Health, EarlyView.
Industrial manufacturing processes have transformative effects on the components of food matrix. These transformations in food matrix and components have direct implications for quality assurance (QA), food quality (e.g., nutritional profile and texture), and food safety management (e.g., pathogen control and toxin mitigation). ABSTRACT This systematic

Relationship Between Deep Convection, Water Vapor, Lightning, and Precipitation over Northern Coastal Brazil

Atmosphere
A key component necessary to improve the performance of climate and weather forecasting models is understanding the physical mechanisms controlling tropical deep convection. In this study, the thermodynamic variables linked to deep convection within this

Impact of tropical land convection on the water vapour budget in the tropical tropopause layer [PDF]

Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics, 2014
The tropical deep overshooting convection is known to be most intense above continental areas such as South America, Africa, and the maritime continent. However, its impact on the tropical tropopause layer (TTL) at global scale remains debated.

Characterisation of Drought and Wet Events in the Paraíba do Sul River Basin—Brazil

International Journal of Climatology, EarlyView.
Trend analysis identified statistically significant reductions in precipitation (at the 5% significance level) at specific pluviometric stations in São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro, while other areas, mainly in Minas Gerais, experienced significant increases in annual and seasonal rainfall, particularly during summer and spring. These significant trends at

Tropical ozone as an indicator of deep convection [PDF]

Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, 2002
The climatological ozone profile in the tropics is shaped like an “S,” with a minimum at the surface, a maximum at 330 K (∼6.5 km), another minimum at 345 K (∼11.2 km), and a subsequent increase toward the tropopause. These features can be reproduced by a very simple model whose only free parameter is the mean ozone mixing ratio of air detraining from ...

Extreme Climate Events in Morocco: Historical Analysis and Future Projections Based on CMIP6 Simulations

International Journal of Climatology, EarlyView.
Historical observations and bias‐corrected CMIP6 projections reveal intensifying warm extremes, declining cold events and increasingly irregular precipitation patterns across Morocco. Future warming, particularly under SSP5‐8.5, produces an almost linear amplification of heat, aridity and hydrological stress, leading to longer droughts and more intense

Convective Rainfall in Amazonia and Adjacent Tropics

Atmospheric and Climate Sciences, 2015
Hourly rainfall estimates from integrated satellite data are used to build a dynamically based climatology of convectively generated rainfall across South America, including tropical, sub-tropical and oceanic regions. Herein, we focus on 0S to 15S, including greater Amazon and NE Brazil leeward of the South Atlantic Ocean.
