NUMERICAL SIMULATION OF THE LIGHTNING LEADER DEVELOPMENT AND UPWARD LEADER INITIATION FOR ROTATING WIND TURBINE

Numerical Simulation of the Lightning Leader Development and Upward Leader Initiation for Rotating Wind Turbine

Lightning accidents seriously threaten safe operation of wind turbines because the influence mechanisms of wind turbine rotation on corona and upward leader initiation Projector Screens are, so far, not clear.A three-dimensional stochastic evolution model of the lightning downward leader was established by combining the dielectric breakdown model a

The Mainz profile algorithm (MAPA)

The Mainz profile algorithm (MAPA) derives vertical profiles of aerosol extinction and trace gas concentrations from MAX-DOAS measurements of slant column densities under multiple elevation angles.This paper presents (a) a detailed description of the MAPA (v0.98), (b) results for the CINDI-2 campaign, and (c) sensitivity studies on the impact of a

Sedimentary evidence of glacial entrainment at Patriot Hills and Union Glacier moraines, Ellsworth Mountains, West Antarctica

Abstract This work aims to analyze and compare the sedimentological data of Ellsworth Mountains, West Antarctica: Patriot/Independence Hills and Union Glacier, and how sedimentological data can be used to infer sediment entrainment.Particular attention was concentrated on morainic deposits.Remote sensing data was used in the identification of depos

Reconceptualizing Integrated Knowledge Translation goals: a case study on basic and clinical science investigating the causes and consequences of food allergy

Abstract Background Integrated Knowledge Translation (IKT) and other forms of research co-production are increasingly recognized as valuable approaches to knowledge creation as a way to better facilitate the implementation of scientific findings.However, the nature of some scientific work can preclude direct knowledge to action as a likely outcome.
