Abstract We present for the first time within the cloud physics context, the application of wavelet phase coherence analysis to disentangle counteracting physical processes associated with the lead‐lag phase difference...

The basic thermodynamic theories of terrestrial dry and moist air are summarized. Atmospheric water vapor-liquid, vapor-ice and liquid-ice phase transitions using Clapeyron and Clausius-Clapeyron equations are presented ...

Cloud morphological transitions strongly influence radiative effects and the regional radiation budget. Marine cold-air outbreaks (MCAOs) over the northwestern Atlantic feature such transitions. Characterizing these tran...

Abstract Typhoon Haikui (2023) brought an unprecedented rainstorm to Fuzhou, with a rainfall record of 360.4 mm in 12 hr and an instantaneous rain rate of 234 mm hr−1. This study investigates the evolution of preci...

Artificial intelligence of things (AIoT) has become an important enabling technology for the chemical industry, especially in online monitoring and intelligent inspection, equipment management, and predictive maintenance...

Forest ecosystems play a fundamental role in sustaining global water cycles and ecological security, and accurate modeling of their eco-hydrological processes is essential for forest management, watershed regulation, and...

With advances in aerospace technology, high-resolution optical imagery from satellites, such as China’s Gaofen series, is vital for climate monitoring and agriculture. However, cloud cover significantly impedes th...

Abstract Satellite radiometers like MODIS use a bi‐spectral retrieval algorithm to simultaneously retrieve cloud optical thickness and cloud effective radius re. However, retrievals fail for liquid clouds when the re o...

Abstract Precipitation is expected to increase in a warmer global climate, yet how sensitive precipitation is to warming depends on poorly constrained cloud radiative processes. Clouds respond to surface warming in ways ...

The PHANGS collaboration has been building a reference data set for the multiscale, multiphase study of star formation and the interstellar medium (ISM) in nearby galaxies. With the successful launch and commissioning of...

Abstract Climate interventions like Marine Cloud Brightening have gained attention for their potential to protect vulnerable marine ecosystems from the worst impacts of climate change. Early modeling studies raised conce...

We have derived and summarized and most important atmospheric temperature lapse rates. ALRs essentially govern vertical atmospheric air stability and creation of some cloud types. The sensitivity analysis of various atmo...

Abstract Correlations between week‐long cosmic ray flux perturbations and terrestrial cloud cover have previously been identified. Still, uncertainty persists on whether the cloud response is due to a physical link inv...

The NASA-ISRO Synthetic Aperture Radar (NISAR) mission will advance global soil moisture monitoring through high-resolution L-band observations. However, accurate fine-scale retrieval remains challenging due to the 12-da...

Aerosol–cirrus interactions remain a major source of uncertainty in climate models due to the complex interplay of aerosol properties, ice nucleation pathways, and atmospheric conditions. In this study, we investigate ...

This article presents an innovative technique for remote sensing-based mapping and predicting land degradation in the European frontier regions. The mapping is carried out by geospatial data fusion of relevant biophysica...

Many potential applications have been proposed for carbon nanotubes, including conductive and high-strength composites; energy storage and energy conversion devices; sensors; field emission displays and radiation sources...

We present a full-sky 100 km map that is a reprocessed composite of the COBE/DIRBE and IRAS/ ISSA maps, with the zodiacal foreground and conrmed point sources removed. Before using the ISSA maps, we remove the remaining ...

We present a new model for computing the spectral evolution of stellar populations at ages between 100,000 yr and 20 Gyr at a resolution of 3 A across the whole wavelength range from 3200 to 9500 A for a wide range of me...
