Vertically integrated water vapour (IWV) is expected to increase globally in a warming climate. To determine whether IWV increases as expected on a regional scale, we present IWV trends in Switzerland from ground-based remote sensing techniques and reanalysis models, considering data for the time period 1995 to 2018. We estimate IWV trends from a g...

Water is the only atmospheric parameter with three-phase state. An ultraviolet Raman lidar was developed for synchronous measurements for water vapor, liquid water and ice water in Xi’an University of Technology, Xi’an, China (34.233°N, 108.911°E). An accurate retrieval method on the basis of interference degree is proposed for synchronous three-ph...

Abstract—One of the options for the practical application of GNSS technology, in addition to geodetic and navigation needs, is remote sensing of the atmosphere by radio signals from navigation satellites in order to improve the quality and detail of weather forecasts. The propagation of a radio signal from GNSS satellites to a ground receiving devi...

Among microporous storage materials copper benzene-1,3,5-tricarboxylate (CuBTC MOF, Cu3(BTC)2 or HKUST-1) holds the greatest potential for clean energy gases. However, its usefulness is challenged by water vapor, either in the gas to be stored or in the environment. To determine the protection potential of graphene oxide (GO) [email protected] composites ...

The influence of humidity on the density, shear elastic module, viscosity, and thickness of the mushroom Pleurotus eryngii and Ganoderma lucidum mycelium films was studied. These data were obtained by comparing the theoretical and experimental frequency dependencies of the complex electrical impedance of bulk acoustic wave (BAW) resonator loaded by...
Freeze-thaw cycles play a critical role in affecting ecosystem services in arid regions. Monitoring studies of soil temperature and moisture during a freeze-thaw process can generate data for research on the coupled movement of water, vapor, and heat during the freezing-thawing period which can, in turn, provide theoretical guidance for rational ir...
Water vapor radiative effects (WVRE) at surface in the long-wave (LW) and short-wave (SW) spectral ranges under cloud and aerosol free conditions are analyzed for seven stations in Spain over the 2007&ndash / 2015 period. WVRE is calculated as the difference between the net flux obtained by two radiative transfer simulations / one with water vapor ...

We report here the development of a compact, open-path CO2 and H2O sensor based on the newly introduced scanned-wavelength modulation spectroscopy with the first harmonic phase angle (scanned-WMS-θ 1f ) method for high-sensitivity, high temporal resolution, ground-based measurements. The considerable advantage of the sensor, compared with existing ...

The atmospheric correction of satellite images based on radiative transfer calculations is a prerequisite for many remote sensing applications. The software package ATCOR, developed at the German Aerospace Center (DLR), is a versatile atmospheric correction software, capable of processing data acquired by many different optical satellite sensors. B...

AbstractContributions of the absorption by water dimers to the continuum absorption by water vapor within the IR region are analyzed. They are defined as the difference between experimental data and asymptotic line wing theory (ALWT) calculations. In the ALWT calculations, the line profiles are used with parameters fitted to the Burch experimental ...
