Abstract The intensity of extreme precipitation has been projected to increase with increasing air temperature according the thermodynamic Clausius–Clapeyron (C-C) relation. Over last decade, observational studies have succeeded in demonstrating scaling relationship between and understand changes. In mid-latitude coastal regions, intense is strongly influenced by synoptic patterns a particular ...

Excessive relative humidity (RH) in combination with high temperature can lead to heat stress, often measured by the Wet Bulb Globe Temperature (WBGT). The Clausius-Clapeyron (CC) relationship implies that warming reduces RH if no extra moisture is added. Over coastal regions like eastern Asia, however, predominant summer monsoon favours increased transport from surrounding oceans as a result o...

Apart from its interesting optical properties, scheelite is one of the main tungsten-bearing minerals, widely processed by froth flotation method. A precise and comprehensive description hydration state required to achieve satisfactory performance. The mechanisms have been poorly studied, using only theoretical methods. Manometric gas sorption experiments were combined with ab initio molecular ...

Abstract The Clausius-Clapeyron equation determines how saturation vapor pressure increases with temperature, which is important in determining variations extreme precipitation. Regionally, the scaling of C–C does not vary significantly, but relationship precipitation does. In this study, from Integrated Multisatellite Retrievals for Global Precipitation Measurement (IMERG) tested its accuracy ...

An analytical approach for computing the coefficient of refrigeration performance (CRP) was described materials that exhibited a giant inverse magnetocaloric effect (MCE), and their governing thermodynamics were reviewed. The defines magnetic work input using thermodynamic relationships rather than isothermal magnetization data discretized from literature. CRP computed only cyclically reversibl...

Global-scale changes in water vapor and responses to surface temperature variability since 1979 are evaluated across a range of satellite ground-based observations, reanalysis (ERA5) coupled atmosphere-only CMIP6 climate model simulations. Global-mean column integrated increased by 1%/decade during 1988-2014 observations However, simulations overestimate trends this is partly explained past stu...

[1] The change in evaporation over the oceans in climate models is analyzed from the perspective of air‐sea turbulent fluxes of water and energy. The results challenge the view that the change in evaporation is predominantly constrained by the change in the net radiation at the surface. For fixed net radiation change, it is found that (1) robust increases in near‐surface relative humidity and (...

Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) measurements were conducted by Wood Buffalo Environmental Association (WBEA) at four community ambient Air quality Monitoring Stations (AMS) in the Athabasca Oil Sands Region (AOSR) in Northeastern Alberta, Canada. The 2012 and 2013 mean concentrations of a subset of the 22 PAH species were 9.5, 8.4, 8.8, and 32 ng m(-3) at AMS 1 (Fort McKay), AMS 6 (reside...

The classic regelation experiment of Thomson in the 1850s deals with cutting an ice cube, followed by refreezing. The cutting was attributed to pressure-induced melting but has been challenged continuously, and only lately consensus emerged by understanding that compression shortens the O:H nonbond and lengthens the H-O bond simultaneously. This H-O elongation leads to energy loss and lowers th...

The atmospheric oxidation of monoterpenes plays a central role in the formation of secondary organic aerosols (SOAs), which have important effects on the weather and climate. However, models of SOA formation have large uncertainties. One reason for this is that SOA formation depends directly on the vapor pressures of the monoterpene oxidation products, but few vapor pressures have been reported...
