Monitoring insects of different species to understand the factors affecting their diversity and
decline is a major challenge. Laser remote sensing and spectroscopy offer promising novel …

Minimizing insecticide use, preventing vector diseases and facilitating biodiversity
assessments are suitable applications of recent advances in photonic insect surveillance …

Cloud representation is one of the largest uncertainties in the current weather and climate
models. In this article, the observations and modeling of the radiative effect on (cloud) …

Three different mathematical solutions of a physical optics model for far field diffraction by an
aperture due to Karczewski and Wolf are discussed. Only one of them properly describes …

The radiative effect on microphysics (REM) plays an important role in the dew/frost formation
near the surface. How REM impacts cirrus clouds is investigated in this study, using bin …

The stability of ice crystal orientation is studied by modeling the airflow around ice crystals at
moderate Reynolds number, where an ice crystal is approximated by a cylinder with three …

Radiative cooling leads to the formation of dew and frost. This process is extended into a
numerical model to simulate the ice crystal characteristics of diamond dust. The model …

The alarming decline in global insect populations and diversity calls for improved monitoring
methods with species specificity. Conventional trapping techniques are labor-intensive and …

Signatures of climate change have been shown by observation and climate model studies to
be most evident in the polar regions, so called polar amplification. However, the polar …
