Volcanic Cloud and Aerosol Monitor (VOLCAM) for Deep Space Gateway
(2018)Frequent (~15 min) imaging of reflected solar ultra-violet (UV) and thermal ifrared (TIR) radiation of the whole Earth from cislunar vantage point offer unique possibilities to answer NASA’s Earth System Science (ESS) ... -
LIDAR PROFILING IN THE LOWER TROPOSPHERE: EXPERIENCE FROM PECAN
(EPJ, 2018)Results from the PECAN (Plains Elevated Convection at Night) campaign are discussed. In particular, the utility of simple backscatter lidars/ceilometers in quantifying atmospheric dynamics parameters and variables as well ... -
ESTIMATE OF RAIN EVAPORATION RATES FROM DUAL-WAVELENGTH LIDAR MEASUREMENTS: COMPARISON AGAINST A MODEL ANALYTICAL SOLUTION
(EPF, 2018)Rain evaporation significantly contributes to moisture and heat cloud budgets. In this paper, we illustrate an approach to estimate the median volume raindrop diameter and the rain evaporation rate profiles from dual-wavelength ... -
MIXED LAYER DEPTHS VIA DOPPLER LIDAR DURING LOW-LEVEL JET EVENTS
(EPJ, 2018)A low-level jet (LLJ) is a prominent wind speed peak in the lower troposphere. Nocturnal LLJs have been shown to transport and mix atmospheric constituents from the residual layer down to the surface, breaching quiescent ... -
Retrieval of aerosol properties and water-leaving reflectance from multi-angular polarimetric measurements over coastal waters
(The Optical Society, 2018)Ocean color remote sensing is an important tool to monitor water quality and biogeochemical conditions of ocean. Atmospheric correction, which obtains water-leaving radiance from the total radiance measured by satellite-borne ... -
An IR Sounding-Based Analysis of the Saharan Air Layer in North Africa
(2018)• Evaluated AIRS SAL detection potential given porous radiosonde network (2002–2016) • AIRS vs AIRS/AMSU WML detection rates within 5% • WML: Potent seasonal cycle, best resolved by AIRS • SAL Frequency: Well-matched ... -
Improving the recombinant human erythropoietin glycosylationusing microsome supplementation in CHO cell-free system
(Wiley, 2018)Cell-Free Protein Synthesis (CFPS) offers many advantages for the production of recombinant therapeutic proteins using the HO cell-free system. However, many complex proteins are still difficult to express using this method. ... -
Characterization of smoke and dust episode over West Africa: comparison of MERRA-2 modeling with multiwavelength Mie–Raman lidar observations
(European Geosciences Union, 2018)Observations of multiwavelength Mie–Raman lidar taken during the SHADOW field campaign are used to analyze a smoke–dust episode over West Africa on 24–27 December 2015. For the case considered, the dust layer extended from ... -
On the Nature of the High-Energy Rollover in 1H 0419-577
(Oxford Academic, 2018)A NuSTAR/Swift observation of the luminous Seyfert 1 galaxy 1H 0419-577 taken during 2015 reveals one of the most extreme high energy cut-offs observed to date from an AGN - an origin due to thermal Comptonization would ... -
Metacommunity theory meets restoration: isolation may mediate how ecological communities respond to stream restoration
(Ecological Society of America, 2017)An often-cited benefit of river restoration is an increase in biodiversity or shift in composition to more desirable taxa. Yet, hard manipulations of habitat structure often fail to elicit a significant response in terms ... -
Single-footprint retrievals for AIRS using a fast TwoSlab cloud-representation model and the SARTA all-sky infrared radiative transfer algorithm
(Copernicus GmbH, 2018)One-dimensional variational retrievals of temperature and moisture fields from hyperspectral infrared (IR) satellite sounders use cloud-cleared radiances (CCRs) as their observation. These derived observations allow the ... -
Fred Wilson: Objects and Installations, 1979-2000
(Center for Art and Visual Culture, 2001)Fred Wilson: Objects and Installations, 1979-2000 explores the artist’s sustained aesthetic inquiry into the relationship between art and the museum. Wilson’s “mock” museum installations, into which he places provocative ... -
Adrian Piper: A Retrospective
(Fine Arts Gallery, University of Maryland Baltimore County, 1999)One of the most influential artists of her generation, Adrien Piper has produced an exceptionally impressive body of work spanning a period of over thirty years. She played a formative role in the emergence of Conceptual ...
