Two ̄ights of the UKMeteorological Oce's Hercules aircraft through daytime frontal cirrus around Scotland have been analysed using wavelet analysis on the vertical velocity time-series from the horizontal runs. It is shown that wavelet analysis is a useful tool for analysing the turbulence data in cirrus clouds. It ®nds the largest scales involved in producing turbulence, as does Fourier analy...

The majority of the works dealing with non-isothermal kinetics assumes only one kinetic differential equation, uses linearization techniques and do not check the fit between the simulated and the experimental data. It is not clear from the literature why we need kinetic evaluations at all in this field. Due to this controversial situation, the author has outlined his views on the aims and metho...

This study focused on kinetic modeling of a specific type of multistep heterogeneous reaction comprising exothermic and endothermic reaction steps, as exemplified by the practical kinetic analysis of the experimental kinetic curves for the thermal decomposition of molten ammonium dinitramide (ADN). It is known that the thermal decomposition of ADN occurs as a consecutive two step mass-loss proc...
