Two Doppler LIght Detection And Ranging (LIDAR) systems have been operated by the Hong Kong Observaotry (HKO) at the Hong Kong International Ai rport (H KIA) for the det ection and alerting of low-level windshear to be encountered by the aircraft. The windshear al erting algorithm is based on the automatic identification of abrupt changes of headwinds along the glide paths of HKIA, which are me...

The article presents results of the research on use chars produced during pyrolysis residual biomass as a substitutional fuel in iron ore sintering process. Such an approach allows to implement circular economy and industrial symbiosis steel branches. effect substitution conventional coke breeze used final sinter quality emission was examined. With regard productivity, consumption, properties i...

We report on a RISC-V extension for a novel multi-core computer organization able to execute applications with high performance and energy efficiency. Novel features of this architecture include support for data objects represented by trees of 128-byte memory chunks, and hardware implementation of task scheduling and load balancing. We call our project Fresh Breeze1 in view of its novelty and p...

Surface ozone (O3) was analyzed to investigate the role of the bay breeze on air quality at two locations in Edgewood, Maryland (lat: 39.4°, lon: −76.3°) for the month of July 2011. Measurements were taken as part of the first year of NASA’s “Deriving Information on Surface Conditions from Column and Vertically Resolved Observations Relevant to Air Quality” (DISCOVER-AQ) Earth Venture campaign ...

Intellectual Merit . Measurement of the f luxes of heat and materials that t ie geological forcing to biological response is central to addressing the major questions posed in the Endeavour Integrated Study Site implementation plan. We propose to acquire two sets of complementary observations: the vert ical f luxes of f luid mass, heat and sal t r ising from Endeavour Segment vent fields and th...

In this study we have analysed wind and wave time series data resulting from hourly measurements on the sea surface in Bushehr, the northern part of the Persian Gulf, from 15 July to 4 August 2000. Wind speed (U10) ranged from 0.34 to 10.38 m/s as alternating sea and land breezes. The lowest wind speed occurs at about midnight and the highest at around noon. The calculated autocorrelation of wi...

Summer atmospheric coastal dynamics exert a significant influence on the levels and composition of atmospheric particulate matter (PM) in the North-Eastern Iberian Peninsula. Summer atmospheric scenarios in this region present a high degree of complexity as they are characterised by the absence of synoptic-scale air mass advections, the development of breeze circulations, enhanced photochemistr...
