A new post‐hoc method to reduce the energy imbalance in eddy covariance measurements
Latent and sensible heat flux observations are essential for understanding land-atmosphere interactions. Measurements from the eddy covariance technique are widely used but suffer from systematic energy imbalance problems, partly due to missing large eddies from sub-mesoscale transport. Because available energy drives the development of large eddie...
Biological durability and moisture dynamics of untreated and thermally modified poplar
Cross laminated timber (CLT) and glue laminated timber (glulam or GLT) are gaining attention given their use in high-rise buildings as climate mitigation concept. In most cases softwood is used to manufacture these engineered wood products, yet fast-growing and widespread hardwood species such as hybrid poplar have potential to meet the increasing ...

The effect of relative humidity on eddy covariance latent heat flux measurements and its implication for partitioning in...
...
While the eddy covariance (EC) technique is a well-established method for measuring water fluxes (i.e., evap-oration or 'evapotranspiration', ET), the measurement is susceptible to many uncertainties. One such issue is the potential underestimation of ET when relative humidity (RH) is high (>70%), due to low-pass filtering with some EC systems. Yet...
Drought self-propagation in drylands due to land–atmosphere feedbacks
Published in Nature geoscience
Reduced evaporation due to dry soils can affect the land surface energy balance, with implications for local and downwind precipitation. When evaporation is constrained by soil moisture, the atmospheric supply of water is depleted, and this deficit may propagate in time and space. This mechanism could theoretically result in the self-propagation of...
CO recovery from blast furnace gas by vacuum pressure swing adsorption process: Experimental and simulation approach
This paper presents experimental and numerical approaches to use a four-bed, six-step CO vacuum-pressure-swing adsorption (VPSA) process with CuCl/boehmite adsorbent to extract carbon monoxide (CO) gas from a simulated blast furnace gas (BFG; N2:CO:CO2 = 60:20:20 mol %) at setting temperature Tset = 60 °C and adsorption pressure 2.5 bar ≤ Pad ≤ 6.4...
A unified framework to estimate the origins of atmospheric moisture and heat using Lagrangian models
Despite the existing myriad of tools and models to assess atmospheric source-receptor relationships, their uncertainties remain largely unexplored and arguably stem from the scarcity of observations available for validation. Yet, Lagrangian models are increasingly used to determine the origin of precipitation and atmospheric heat by scrutinizing th...
Cycled storage-discharge plasma catalytic degradation of toluene using metal oxide loaded MS-13X and glass beads packed ...
In this study, a cycled storage-discharge (CSD) plasma catalytic system packed with MOx/MS-13X (M = Cu, Mn, or Cu-Mn) and glass beads was investigated for the abatement of toluene in dry air. The total amount of adsorbed toluene, the catalytic performance of MOx/MS-13X, the energy cost, and the energy yield of the CSD plasma catalysis process were ...
