Published: June 2022

Lebanon Cedar (Cedrus libani A. Rich.) and Brutia pine (Pinus brutia Ten.) growth performance in the Cool Supra-Mediterranean bioclimatic zone of the Syrian Coastal Mountains at Almawla Hassan afforestation site was evaluated. The Pluviothermal quotient of Emberger and the aridity index for the site is 199 and 53.1 consecutively, whereas, summer drought spans for 120 days. The site is dominated by oak Maqui with 80 species distributed equivocally on site aspects. Lebanon Cedar was superior to Brutia pine in all growth indicators. It achieved mean height of 17.97m compared to 14.07m in Brutia pine with significant effects of exposures on the later. Furthermore, it realized a diameter of 27.37cm compared to 23.95cm in Brutia pine with significant effects of exposures on the later species. Basal area (BA) median tree of Lebanon Cedar was 0.058m2, equivalent to 64.78m2/ha. compared with 0.045m2 Brutia pine median tree BA, equivalent to 62.18m2/ha. The growing stock volume (GSV) of Lebanon Cedar median tree was 0.494 m3, and total GSV for its stand was 549.45 m3/ha. whereas, average annual growth reached 13.73 m3/ha/yr. On the other side, GSV of Brutia pine median tree was 0.335 m3, and GSV for its stand was 461.90m3/ha. In the meantime, the species average growth was 11.84 m3 /ha /yr. Tree form factor was greater in Brutia pine. Width of average annual growth rings of the Lebanon Cedar was 4.34 mm/yr. of which 82% of growth was formed in fall compared with 2.42 mm of Brutia pine of which fall growth formed 76%. It is suggested that Lebanon cedar be afforested to similar mountain aspects within this bioclimatic regime along the coastal range mountains.
Impact of stratospheric aerosol intervention geoengineering on surface air temperature in China: a surface energy budget perspective
Authors: Liu Zhaochen , Lang Xianmei , Jiang Dabang
Published: June 2022

Abstract. Stratospheric aerosol intervention (SAI) geoengineering is a proposed scheme to counteract anthropogenic global warming, but the climate response to SAI, with great regional disparities, remains uncertain. In this study, we use Geoengineering Model Intercomparison Project G4 experiment simulations from six models that counteract anthropogenic forcing under medium–low emissions (Representative Concentration Pathway 4.5 – RCP4.5) by injecting a certain amount of SO2 into the stratosphere every year to investigate the surface air temperature response to SAI geoengineering over China. We have found that SAI has led to surface cooling over China during the last 40 years of injection simulation (2030–2069), which varies among models, regions, and seasons. Decreased tropospheric temperature and water vapor and increased stratospheric aerosols induce robust decreases in downward clear-sky longwave and shortwave radiation fluxes at the surface, respectively, dominating the temperature change over China. Changes in cloud effective forcing and surface albedo feedback also relate to the temperature response but with large spatial and seasonal variations. We find that the increased summer cloud cover and winter surface albedo lead to strong cooling, while the decreased summer cloud cover and winter surface albedo lead to weak cooling or even insignificant warming for the certain subregions and models. Our results suggest that cloud and land surface processes in models dominate the spatial pattern of SAI-induced surface air temperature change over China.
Measurement report: Spectral and statistical analysis of aerosol hygroscopic growth from multi-wavelength lidar measurements in Barcelona, Spain

Published: June 2022

Abstract. This paper presents the estimation of the hygroscopic
growth parameter of atmospheric aerosols retrieved with a multi-wavelength
lidar, a micro-pulse lidar (MPL) and daily radiosoundings in the coastal region of
Barcelona, Spain. The hygroscopic growth parameter, γ, parameterizes
the magnitude of the scattering enhancement in terms of the backscatter
coefficient following Hänel parameterization. After searching for time-colocated lidar and radiosounding measurements (performed twice a day, all year round at
00:00 and 12:00 UTC), a strict criterion-based procedure
(limiting the variations of magnitudes such as water vapor mixing ratio (WMVR),
potential temperature, wind speed and direction) is applied to select only
cases of aerosol hygroscopic growth. A spectral analysis (at the wavelengths
of 355, 532 and 1064 nm) is performed with the multi-wavelength lidar, and a
climatological one, at the wavelength of 532 nm, with the database of both
lidars. The spectral analysis shows that below 2 km the regime of local
pollution and sea salt γ decreases with increasing wavelengths.
Since the 355 nm wavelength is sensitive to smaller aerosols, this behavior
could indicate slightly more hygroscopic aerosols present at smaller size
ranges. Above 2 km (the regime of regional pollution and residual sea salt) the
values of γ at 532 nm are nearly the same as those below 2 km, and its
spectral behavior is flat. This analysis and others from the literature are
put together in a table presenting, for the first time, a spectral analysis
of the hygroscopic growth parameter of a large variety of atmospheric
aerosol hygroscopicities ranging from low (pure mineral dust, γ
<0.2) to high (pure sea salt, γ > 1.0)
hygroscopicity. The climatological analysis shows that, at 532 nm, γ
is rather constant all year round and has a large monthly standard deviation,
suggesting the presence of aerosols with different hygroscopic properties
all year round. The annual γ is 0.55 ± 0.23. The height of the
layer where hygroscopic growth was calculated shows an annual cycle with a
maximum in summer and a minimum in winter. Former works describing the
presence of recirculation layers of pollutants injected at various heights
above the planetary boundary layer (PBL) may explain why γ, unlike the height of the layer
where hygroscopic growth was calculated, is not season-dependent. The
subcategorization of the whole database into No cloud and Below-cloud cases reveals a large
difference of γ in autumn between both categories (0.71 and 0.33,
respectively), possibly attributed to a depletion of inorganics at the point
of activation into cloud condensation nuclei (CCN) in the Below-cloud cases. Our work calls
for more in situ measurements to synergetically complete such studies based
on remote sensing.
Characterization of tandem aerosol classifiers for selecting particles: implication for eliminating the multiple charging effect
Authors: Song Yao , Pei Xiangyu , Liu Huichao , Zhou Jiajia , Wang Zhibin
Published: June 2022

Abstract. Accurate particle classification plays a vital role in
aerosol studies. Differential mobility analyzers (DMAs), centrifugal particle
mass analyzers (CPMAs) and aerodynamic aerosol classifiers (AACs) are commonly
used to select particles with a specific mobility diameter, aerodynamic
diameter or mass, respectively. However, multiple charging effects cannot be
entirely avoided when using either individual techniques or tandem systems
such as DMA–CPMA, especially when selecting soot particles with fractal
structures. In this study, we calculate the transfer functions of the
DMA–CPMA and DMA–AAC in static configurations for flame-generated soot
particles. We propose an equation that constrains the resolutions of the DMA and
CPMA to eliminate the multiple charging effect when selecting particles with
a certain mass–mobility relationship using the DMA–CPMA system. The equation
for the DMA–AAC system is also derived. For DMA–CPMA in a static
configuration, our results show that the ability to remove multiply charged
particles mainly depends on the particle morphology and resolution settings
of the DMA and CPMA. Using measurements from soot experiments and literature
data, a general trend in the appearance of the multiple charging effect with
decreasing size when selecting aspherical particles is observed. As for
DMA–AAC in a static configuration, the ability to eliminate particles with
multiple charges is mainly related to the resolutions of the classifiers. In
most cases, the DMA–AAC in a static configuration can eliminate the multiple
charging effect regardless of the particle morphology, but multiply charged
particles will be selected when decreasing the resolution of the DMA or AAC.
We propose that the potential influence of the multiple charging effect
should be considered when using the DMA–CPMA or DMA–AAC systems in
estimating size- and mass-resolved optical properties in field and lab
experiments.

Abstract. The Ozone Monitoring Instrument (OMI) was launched on 15 July 2004, with an expected mission lifetime of 5 years.
After more than 17 years in orbit the instrument is still functioning satisfactorily and in principle can continue doing so until the expected decommissioning of its platform Aura in 2025.
In order to continue the datasets acquired by OMI and the Microwave Limb Sounder, the mission was extended up to at least 2023. Actions have been taken to ensure the proper functioning of the OMI operations, the data processing, and the calibration monitoring system until the eventual end of the mission.
For the data processing a new level-0 (L0) to level-1b (L1b) data processor was built based on the recent developments for the TROPOspheric Monitoring Instrument (TROPOMI).
With corrections for the degradation of the instrument now included, it is feasible to generate a new data collection to supersede the current collection-3 data products and reprocess the data of the entire mission up to now. This paper describes the differences between the collection-3 and collection-4 data.
It will be shown that the collection-4 L1b data comprise a clear improvement with respect to the previous collections.
By correcting for the gentle optical and electronic aging that has occurred over the past 17 years, OMI's ability to make trend-quality ozone measurements has further improved.
Determination of atmospheric column condensate using active and passive remote sensing technology
Authors: Di Huige , Yuan Yun , Yan Qing , Xin Wenhui , Li Shichun , Wang Jun , Wang Yufeng , Zhang Lei , Hua Dengxin
Published: June 2022

Abstract. To further exploit atmospheric cloud water resources (CWRs), it is necessary to correctly evaluate the number of CWRs in an area. The CWRs are hydrometeors that have not participated in precipitation formation at the
surface and are suspended in the atmosphere to be exploited and maximise
possible precipitation in the atmosphere (Zhou et al., 2020). Three items are included in CWRs: the existing hydrometeors at a certain time, the influx of atmospheric hydrometeors along the boundaries of the study area, and the mass of hydrometeors converted from water vapour through condensation or desublimation, defined as condensate. Condensate constitutes the most important part of CWRs. At present, there is a lack of effective observation methods for atmospheric column condensate evaluation, and direct observation
data of CWRs are thus insufficient. A detection method for atmospheric
column condensate is proposed and presented. The formation of condensate is
closely related to atmospheric meteorological parameters (e.g. temperature
and vertical airflow velocity). The amount of atmospheric column condensate
can be calculated by the saturated water vapour density and the ascending
velocity at the cloud base and top. Active and passive remote sensing
technologies are applied to detect the mass of atmospheric column
condensate. Combining millimetre cloud radar, lidar and microwave radiometers can suitably observe the vertical velocity and temperature at the cloud boundary. The saturated vapour density can be derived from the temperature, and then, water vapour flux and the maximum possible condensate can be deduced. A detailed detection scheme and data calculation method are presented, and the presented method can realise the determination of atmospheric column condensate. A case of cloud layer change before precipitation is considered, and atmospheric column condensate is deduced and obtained. This is the first
application, to our knowledge, of observations for atmospheric column
condensate evaluation, which is significant for research on the hydrologic
cycle and the assessment of CWRs.
ERUO: a spectral processing routine for the Micro Rain Radar PRO (MRR-PRO)
Authors: Ferrone Alfonso , Billault-Roux Anne-Claire , Berne Alexis
Published: June 2022

Abstract. The Micro Rain Radar PRO (MRR-PRO) is a K-band Doppler weather radar, using frequency-modulated continuous-wave (FMCW) signals, developed by Metek Meteorologische Messtechnik GmbH (Metek) as a successor to the MRR-2.
Benefiting from four datasets collected during two field campaigns in Antarctica and Switzerland, we developed a processing library for snowfall measurements named ERUO (Enhancement and Reconstruction of the spectrUm for the MRR-PRO), with a twofold objective.
Firstly, the proposed method addresses a series of issues plaguing the radar variables, including interference lines and power drops at the extremes of the Doppler spectrum.
Secondly, the algorithm aims to improve the quality of the final variables by lowering the minimum detectable equivalent attenuated reflectivity factor and extending the valid Doppler velocity range through dealiasing.
The performance of the algorithm has been tested against the measurements of a co-located W-band Doppler radar.
Information from a close-by X-band Doppler dual-polarization radar has been used to exclude unsuitable radar volumes from the comparison.
Particular attention has been dedicated to verifying the estimation of the meteorological signal in the spectra covered by interferences.
Internal tree cycling and atmospheric archiving of mercury: examination with concentration and stable isotope analyses
Authors: McLagan David S. , Biester Harald , Navrátil Tomas , Kraemer Stephan M. , Schwab Lorenz
Published: June 2022

Abstract. Trees predominantly take up mercury (Hg) from the atmosphere via stomatal assimilation of gaseous elemental Hg (GEM). Hg is oxidised in leaves/needles and transported to other tree anatomy including bole wood where it can be stored long-term. Using Hg associated with growth rings facilitates archiving of historical GEM concentrations. Nonetheless, there are significant knowledge gaps on the cycling of Hg within trees. We investigate Hg archived in tree rings, internal tree Hg cycling, and differences in Hg uptake mechanisms in Norway spruce and European larch sampled within 1 km of a HgCl2 contaminated site using total Hg (THg) and Hg stable isotope analyses. Tree ring samples are indicative of significant increases in THg concentrations (up to 521µg·kg-1) from background period (BGP; facility closed; 1992—present) to secondary industrial period (2ndIP; no HgCl2 wood treatment; 1962–1992) to primary industrial period (1stIP; active HgCl2 wood treatment; ≈1900–1962). Mass dependent fractionation (MDF) Hg stable isotope data are shifted negative during industrial periods (δ202Hg: 1stIP: 4.32±0.15 ‰; 2ndIP: 4.04±0.32 ‰; BGP: 2.83±0.74 ‰; 1SD). Even accounting for a ≈ 2.6 ‰ MDF shift associated with stomatal uptake, these data are indicative of emissions derived from industrial activity being enriched in lighter isotopes associated with HgCl2 reduction and Hg0 volatilisation. Similar MDF (δ202Hg: 3.90±0.30 ‰; 1SD) in bark Hg (137±105µg·kg-1) suggests that stomatal assimilation and downward transport is also the dominant uptake mechanism for bark Hg (reflective of negative stomatal uptake MDF shift) rather than deposition to bark. THg was enriched in sapwood of all sampled trees across both tree species. This may indicate long-term storage of a fraction of Hg in sapwood or xylem solution. These data advance our understanding of the physiological processing of Hg within trees and provide critical direction to future research into the use of trees as archives for historical atmospheric Hg.
Order of magnitude wall time improvement of variational methane inversions by physical parallelization: a demonstration using TM5-4DVAR
Authors: Pandey Sudhanshu , Houweling Sander , Segers Arjo
Published: June 2022

Abstract. Atmospheric inversions are used to constrain emissions of trace
gases using atmospheric mole-fraction measurements. The four-dimensional
variational (4DVAR) inversion approach allows optimization of emissions at a
higher temporal and spatial resolution than ensemble or analytical
approaches but provides limited opportunities for scalable parallelization
because it is an iterative optimization method. Multidecadal variational
inversions are needed to optimally extract information from the long
measurement records of long-lived atmospheric trace gases like carbon
dioxide and methane. However, the wall time needed – up to
months – complicates these multidecadal inversions. The physical
parallelization (PP) method introduced by Chevallier (2013) addresses this
problem for carbon dioxide inversions by splitting the period of the
chemical transport model into blocks and running them in parallel. Here, we
present a new implementation of the PP method which is suitable for methane
inversions accounting for the chemical sink of methane. The performance of
the PP method is tested in an 11-year inversion using a TM5-4DVAR inversion
setup that assimilates surface observations to optimize methane emissions at
grid scale. Our PP implementation improves the wall time performance by a
factor of 5 and shows excellent agreement with a full serial inversion in an
identical configuration (global mean emissions difference =0.06 % with
an interannual variation correlation R=0.99; regional mean emission
difference <5 % and interannual variation R>0.94).
The wall time improvement of the PP method increases with the size of the
inversion period. The PP method is planned to be used in future releases of
the Copernicus Atmosphere Monitoring Service (CAMS) multidecadal methane
reanalysis.
CLIMFILL v0.9: a framework for intelligently gap filling Earth observations
Authors: Bessenbacher Verena , Seneviratne Sonia Isabelle , Gudmundsson Lukas
Published: June 2022

Abstract. Remotely sensed Earth observations have many missing values. The abundance and often complex patterns of these missing values can be a barrier for combining different observational datasets and may cause biased estimates of derived statistics. To overcome this, missing values in geoscientific data are regularly infilled with estimates through univariate gap-filling techniques such as spatial or temporal interpolation or by upscaling approaches in which complete donor variables are used to infer missing values. However, these approaches typically do not account for information that may be present in other observed variables that also have missing values. Here we propose CLIMFILL (CLIMate data gap-FILL), a multivariate gap-filling procedure that combines kriging interpolation with a statistical gap-filling method designed to account for the dependence across multiple gappy variables. In a first stage, an initial gap fill is constructed for each variable separately using state-of-the-art spatial interpolation. Subsequently, the initial gap fill for each variable is updated to recover the dependence across variables using an iterative procedure. Estimates for missing values are thus informed by knowledge of neighbouring observations, temporal processes, and dependent observations of other relevant variables.
CLIMFILL is tested using gap-free ERA-5 reanalysis data of ground temperature, surface-layer soil moisture, precipitation, and terrestrial water storage to represent central interactions between soil moisture and climate. These variables were matched with corresponding remote sensing observations and masked where the observations have missing values. In this “perfect dataset approach” CLIMFILL can be evaluated against the original, usually not observed part of the data.
We show that CLIMFILL successfully recovers the dependence structure among the variables across all land cover types and altitudes, thereby enabling subsequent mechanistic interpretations in the gap-filled dataset. Correlation between original ERA-5 data and gap-filled ERA-5 data is high in many regions, although it shows artefacts of the interpolation procedure in large gaps in high-latitude regions during winter. Bias and noise in gappy satellite-observable data is reduced in most regions. A case study of the European 2003 heatwave shows how CLIMFILL reduces biases in ground temperature and surface-layer soil moisture induced by the missing values. Furthermore, in idealized experiments we see the impact of fraction of missing values and the complexity of missing value patterns to the performance of CLIMFILL, showing that CLIMFILL for most variables operates at the upper limit of what is possible given the high fraction of missing values and the complexity of missingness patterns. Thus, the framework can be a tool for gap filling a large range of remote sensing observations commonly used in climate and environmental research.
Understanding the diurnal cycle of land-atmosphere interactions from flux site observations
Authors: Seo Eunkyo , Dirmeyer Paul Alan
Published: June 2022

Abstract. Land–atmosphere interactions have been investigated at daily or longer time scales due to limited data availability and large sensor errors for measuring high-frequency signals. Yet coupling at the sub-daily time scale is characterized by the diurnal cycle of incoming solar radiation and soil wetness. Based on flux tower observations, this study investigates the climatology of the observed land–atmosphere interactions on a sub-daily time scale during the warm season. Process-based multivariate metrics are employed to quantitatively measure the segmented coupling processes and the mixing diagram is adopted to demonstrate the integrative moist and thermal energy budget evolution in the atmospheric mixed layer. The land, atmosphere, and combined couplings for the entire daily mean, midday, and midnight show the different situations to which surface latent and sensible heat fluxes are relevant, and they also reveal the climate sensitivity to soil moisture and surface air temperature. The coevolution of the diurnal moisture and thermal energy within the boundary layer traces a particular path on mixing diagrams, exhibiting different degrees of hysteresis in water– and energy–limited locations. Water– and energy–limited processes also show opposing long tails during the daytime and night-time related to the impact on the land and atmospheric couplings via latent heat flux and other diabatic processes like radiative cooling. This study illustrates the necessity of considering the whole diurnal cycle to understand land-atmosphere coupling processes comprehensively in observations and modelling.
Quantifying the uncertainty of precipitation forecasting using probabilistic deep learning
Authors: Xu Lei , Chen Nengcheng , Yang Chao , Yu Hongchu , Chen Zeqiang
Published: June 2022

Abstract. Precipitation forecasting is an important mission in weather
science. In recent years, data-driven precipitation forecasting techniques
could complement numerical prediction, such as precipitation nowcasting,
monthly precipitation projection and extreme precipitation event
identification. In data-driven precipitation forecasting, the predictive
uncertainty arises mainly from data and model uncertainties. Current deep
learning forecasting methods could model the parametric uncertainty by
random sampling from the parameters. However, the data uncertainty is
usually ignored in the forecasting process and the derivation of predictive
uncertainty is incomplete. In this study, the input data uncertainty, target data uncertainty and model uncertainty are jointly modeled in a deep
learning precipitation forecasting framework to estimate the predictive
uncertainty. Specifically, the data uncertainty is estimated a priori and
the input uncertainty is propagated forward through model weights according
to the law of error propagation. The model uncertainty is considered by
sampling from the parameters and is coupled with input and target data
uncertainties in the objective function during the training process.
Finally, the predictive uncertainty is produced by propagating the input
uncertainty in the testing process. The experimental results indicate that
the proposed joint uncertainty modeling framework for precipitation
forecasting exhibits better forecasting accuracy (improving RMSE by 1 %–2 % and R2 by 1 %–7 % on average) relative to several existing methods, and could reduce the predictive uncertainty by ∼28 % relative to the approach of Loquercio et al. (2020). The incorporation of data uncertainty in the objective function changes the distributions of model weights of the forecasting model and the proposed method can slightly smooth the model weights, leading to the reduction of predictive uncertainty relative to the method of Loquercio et al. (2020). The predictive accuracy is improved in the proposed method by incorporating the target data uncertainty and reducing the forecasting error of extreme precipitation. The developed joint uncertainty modeling method can be regarded as a general uncertainty modeling approach to estimate predictive uncertainty from data and model in forecasting applications.
Nonlinear intensification of monsoon low pressure systems by the BSISO
Authors: Hunt Kieran Mark Rainwater , Turner Andrew George
Published: June 2022

Abstract. More than half of the rainfall brought to the Indian subcontinent by the summer monsoon is associated with low-pressure systems (LPSs). Yet their relationship with the Boreal Summer Intraseasonal Oscillation (BSISO) – the dominant intraseasonal forcing on the monsoon – is only superficially understood. Using reanalysis data, we explore the relationship between the BSISO and LPS intensity, propagation, and precipitation, and associated underlying mechanisms. The BSISO has a large impact on mean monsoon vorticity and rainfall as it moves northward – maximising both in phases 2–3 over southern India and phases 5–6 over northern India – but a much weaker relationship with total column water vapour. We present evidence that LPS genesis also preferentially follows these phases of the BSISO. We identify significant relationships between BSISO phase and LPS precipitation and propagation: for example, during BSISO phase 5, LPSs over north India produce 51 % heavier rainfall and propagate northwestward 20 % more quickly. Using a combination of moisture flux linearisation and quasigeostrophic theory, we show that these relationships are driven by changes to the underlying dynamics, rather than the moisture content or thermodynamic structure, of the monsoon. Using the example of LPSs over northern India during BSISO phase 5, we show that the vertical structure of anomalous vorticity can be split into contributions from the BSISO and the nonlinear response of the LPS to anomalous BSISO circulation. Complementary hypotheses emerge about the source of this nonlinear vorticity response: nonlinear frictional convergence and secondary barotropic growth. We show that both are important. The BSISO imparts greater meridional shear on the background state, supporting LPS intensification. The BSISO background and nonlinear LPS response both contribute significantly to anomalous boundary layer convergence, and we show through vortex budget arguments that the former supports additional LPS intensification in boundary layer while the latter supports faster westward propagation. This work therefore yields important insights into the scale interactions controlling one of the dominant synoptic systems contributing to rainfall during the monsoon.

Published: June 2022

The quality of students’ accommodation has been one of the factors that influence students’ academic performance and achievements. This has been shown in Sustainable Development Goals as related to education and housing. This paper thus assessed the quality of students’ accommodation in a Nigeria’s tertiary institution. The objectives are to determine the factors responsible for students’ choice of accommodation and examine the variation in students’ accommodation based on their quality. Multi-stage sampling technique was used to select 212 (10%) students living in 8 on-campus and 8 off-campus hostels in the study area. Questionnaires were used as research instruments in this paper. This study adopted descriptive, inferential, and spatial analytical techniques. The results reveal that the hostel fee was higher off-campus than on-campus, while the power supply was more stable at on-campus hostels than at off-campus hostels. At a p-value greater than alpha at 0.05, and an F-calculated value of 1.613 which was less than the F-tabulated value of 1.71 at F0.05, 15, 196, there was no statistically significant variation in the overall mean value of the factors considered for the quality of students’ accommodation across all sixteen hostels. This paper concludes that the quality of students’ hostels is not significantly different in both on-campus and off-campus in the study area. This paper thus recommends that the quality of students’ accommodation should be improved without exerting an exorbitant fee on students. There should also be a government policy regulating the off-campus and on-campus hostels in terms of fees and quality.

Ilustrasi yang hadir dalam suatu buku berfungsi untuk menarik perhatian mata pembaca, menjadikan pembaca lebih nyaman untuk mengikuti alur cerita, serta pembaca juga dapat mengingat lebih cepat dari buku yang dibaca. Salah satu buku yang cukup berhasil menggunakan ilustrasi dalam bentuk cetak adalah buku “Yuk Berhijab” karya Felix Siauw. Dengan menghadirkan ilustrasi yang cukup menarik perhatian dengan menyatukan elemen pendukung lainnya, menjadikan buku tersebut dapat dengan baik mengemas buku yang memuat informasi tentang agama, yang pada umumnya memiliki materi yang berat dan mempunyai banyak halaman dan dibaca oleh kalangan tertentu saja sehingga menjadi buku bacaan yang ringan namun padat akan ilmu yang disampaikan.

Latar belakang dari perancangan ini adalah masih banyaknya anak yang belum terbiasa cuci tangan sendiri dan harus selalu diingatkan, mencuci tangan hanya menggunakan air saja tidak dengan sabun dan menggunakan langkah-langkah cuci tangan yang benar. Pembiasaan cuci tangan harus diajarkan sejak dini baik oleh guru di sekolah maupun orangtua di rumah. Media pembelajaran dapat digunakan untuk merangsang dan menarik perhatian anak. Salah satu media pembelajaran yang dapat digunakan adalah video animasi 2D.
