Published: January 2024

By the PEDAGOSAT project we aim to democratize all educational activities related to CubeSat-class: nanosatellite, from physics through engineering, technical achievements, integration, to testing and operations to the greatest number of students. The key idea is to eventually have our academic nanosatellite training platform offering an open source opportunity to Algerians universities, and having the capacity to cover all engineer training areas relating to "small satellites". As part of this project, some satellite subsystems, test and emulation facilities will be realized, processes and procedures for testing and integration related to space technology will be addressed, implemented and even mastered. The presented work is part of the development of the on-board power system, and covers the selection of solar cells for the manufacture of solar panels of this satellite. The main source of energy present in space is solar energy, it a continuous and inexhaustible source that a satellite can. In satellite we use a solar panel to ensure its operation. In the dimensioning of a satellite, it is essential to identify these electrical power requirements named “power budget analysis”. Indeed, this makes it possible to determine the number of cells and/solar panels to be installed to guarantee the power continuity of the satellite in sunlight phase of its orbit by recharging its batteries and feeding equipment’s. During all the mission duration; from the beginning of life (BOL) after the launch to it deorbits (EOL) to disintegrate in the atmosphere. For the PEDAGO-SAT as for other satellites, it will be necessary to verify the parameters and physical characteristics of the solar cells/panels according to certified procedures and methodologies in order to be able to pronounce on their qualification for aerospace use. In this context, we propose a low-cost process revision to be able to carry out qualification tests with an accessible facility in the university labs. This revision will also concern the development of homemade means and software that fit the investments that may be made by the Algerian research and academic facilities. As illustrated in this paper a performance evaluation of low-cost solar cells was done using the developed solution and the selected cells will be integrated in the solar panels of PEDAGOSAT.

Published: January 2024

Abstract. Fog/cloud drops and aerosol liquid water are important sites for the transformations of atmospheric species, largely through reactions with photoformed oxidants such as the hydroxyl radical (⚫OH), singlet molecular oxygen (1O2∗), and oxidizing triplet excited states of organic matter (3C∗). Despite their importance, few studies have measured these oxidants or their seasonal variations. To address this gap, we collected ambient PM2.5 from Davis, California, over the course of a year and measured photooxidant concentrations and light absorption in dilute aqueous extracts. Mass absorption coefficients (MACs) normalized by dissolved organic carbon range from 0.4–3.8 m2 per gram C at 300 nm. Concentrations of ⚫OH, 1O2∗, and 3C∗ in the extracts range from (0.2–4.7) × 10−15 M, (0.7–45) × 10−13 M, and (0.03–7.9) × 10−13 M, respectively, with biomass burning brown carbon playing a major role in light absorption and the formation of 1O2∗ and 3C∗. Extrapolating photooxidant kinetics from our dilute particle extracts to concentrated aerosol liquid water (ALW) conditions gives an estimated ⚫OH concentration of 7 × 10−15 M and ranges for 1O2∗ and 3C∗ of (0.6–7) × 10−12 M and (0.2–1) × 10−12 M, respectively. Compared to the results in Kaur et al. (2019), our ALW predictions show roughly 10 times higher ⚫OH, up to 5 times higher 3C, and 1O2∗ concentrations that are lower by factors of 20–100. These concentrations suggest that 3C∗ and 1O2∗ in ALW dominate the processing of organic compounds that react quickly with these oxidants (e.g., phenols and furans, respectively), while ⚫OH is more important for less reactive organics.
Design and evaluation of a low-cost sensor node for near-background methane measurement
Authors: Furuta Daniel , Wilson Bruce , Presto Albert A. , Li Jiayu
Published: January 2024

Abstract. We developed a low-cost methane sensing node incorporating two metal oxide (MOx) sensors, humidity and temperature sensing, data storage, and telemetry. We deployed the prototype sensor alongside a reference methane analyzer in two sites – one outdoors, one indoors – for several months each of data collection across a range of environmental conditions and methane levels. We explored calibration models to investigate the performance of our system and its suitability for background monitoring and enhancement detection. We achieved moderate performance in the 2 to 10 ppm range, but found that the sensor response varied over time, possibly as the result of changes in non-targeted gas concentrations. We suggest that this cross sensitivity may be responsible for mixed results in previous similar studies. We discuss the implications of our results for the use of these and similar inexpensive MOx sensors for near-background methane monitoring.
Lidar-radar synergistic method to retrieve ice, supercooled and mixed-phase clouds properties

Published: January 2024

Abstract. Mixed-phase clouds are not well represented in climate and weather forecasting models, due to a lack of the key processescontrolling their life cycle. Developing methods to study these clouds is therefore essential, despite the complexity of mixed-phase cloud processes and the difficulty of observing two cloud phases simultaneously. We propose in this paper a new methodto retrieve the microphysical properties of mixed-phase clouds, ice clouds and supercooled water clouds using airborne orsatellite radar and lidar measurements. This method extends an existing variational method developed for ice clouds retrievalusing lidar, radar and passive radiometers. We assume that the attenuated lidar backscatter β at 532 nm is more sensitive toparticle concentration and is consequently mainly sensitive to the presence of supercooled water. In addition, radar reflectivityZ at 95 GHz is sensitive to the size of hydrometeors and hence more sensitive to the presence of ice crystals. Consequently,in the mixed-phase the supercooled liquid droplets are retrieved with the lidar signal and the ice crystals with the radar signal,meaning that the retrieval rely strongly on a priori and errors values. This method retrieves then simultaneously the visibleextinction for ice αice and liquid αliq particles, the ice and liquid water contents IWC and LWC, the effective radius of icere,ice and liquid re,liq particles and the ice and liquid number concentrations Nice and Nliq. Moreover, total extinction αtot, totalwater content TWC and total number concentration Ntot can also be estimated. As the retrieval of ice and liquid is different, it isnecessary to correctly identify each phase of the cloud. To this end, a cloud phase classification is used as input to the algorithmand has been adapted for mixed-phase retrieval. The data used in this study are from DARDAR-MASK v2.23 products, basedon the CALIOP lidar and CPR radar observations, respectively from the CALIPSO and CloudSat satellites belonging to theA-Train constellation launched in 2006. Airborne in situ measurements performed on the 7th April 2007 during the ASTARcampaign and collected under the track of CloudSat-CALIPSO are compared to the retrievals of the new algorithm to validateits performance. Visible extinctions and water contents properties derived from in situ measurements and the retrievals showedsimilar trends and are globally in good agreement. The mean percent error between the retrievals and in situ is 39 % for αliq,398 % for αice, 49 % for LWC and 75 % for IWC. It is also important to note that the temporal and spatial collocations are notalways optimal, that the sensibility of remote sensing and in situ are not the same and that in situ measurements uncertaintiesare between 25 % and 60 %.
Detection of flooding by overflows of the drainage network: Application to the urban area of Dakar (Senegal)

Published: January 2024

Abstract. With the recurrence of flooding in African cities, there is growing interest in the development of sufficiently informative tools to help characterize and predict overflow risks. One of the challenges is to develop methods that strike a compromise between the accuracy of simulations, the availability of basic data, and the shortening of calculation times to be compatible with real-time applications. The present study, carried out on the urban outskirts of Dakar, aims to propose a method capable of modeling flows at fine resolution (5 m2), over the entire area, and providing a rapid diagnosis of how the drainage network is operating for rainfall intensities of different return periods, while taking urban conditions into account. Three methodological steps are combined to achieve this objective: i) determination of drainage directions, including modifications induced by buildings, artificial drainage and storage basins, ii) application of a hydrological model for calculating flows at the outlets of elementary catchment, iii) the implementation of a hydraulic model for propagating these flows through the drainage network and a storage model for retention basins. The network overflow points are calculated as the difference between the calculated flows and the network’s capacity to evacuate them. Simulation results show that the stormwater drainage network is capable of evacuating runoff volumes generated by rainfall with a low return period (10 years), but seems to overflow for rainfall with a rare frequency (100 years), with overflow rates sometimes exceeding 18 m3/s. The model, built on the ATHYS modelling platform, also provides boundary conditions for applying more complex hydraulic models to determine the local impact of drainage network overflows on limited areas.
High interspecific variability indicates pollen ice nucleators are incidental

Published: January 2024

Abstract. Ice nucleating molecules (INMs) produced by plant pollen can nucleate ice at warm temperatures and may play an important role in weather and climate relevant cloud glaciation. INMs have also proved useful for mammalian cell and tissue model cryopreservation. The high ice nucleation (IN) activity of some INMs indicates an underlying biological function, either freezing tolerance or bioprecipitation mediated dispersal. Here, using the largest study of pollen ice nucleation to date, we show that phylogenetic proximity, spermatophyte subdivision, primary growth biome, pollination season, primary pollination method, desiccation tolerance and native growth elevation do not account for the IN activity of INMs released from different plant species’ pollen. The results suggest that a polysaccharide present in pollen is produced by plants for a purpose unrelated to ice nucleation has an incidental ability to nucleate ice. This ability may have been adapted by some species for specific biological purposes, producing exceptional ice nucleators. Pollen INMs may be more active, widespread in nature, and diverse than previously thought.

Abstract. Probabilistic Seismic Hazard Analysis (PSHA) typically requires tectonic b-values and seismic activity rates using declustered catalogues to compute the annual probability of exceedance of a given ground motion (for example, the Peak Ground Acceleration or PGA). In this work, we propose a methodology that includes the spatially-gridded time-dependent b-value and activity rate computation using seismic clusters in PSHA calculations. To account for the the spatial variability and the relationship of the earthquakes with the seismic sources, we incorporate the distance from the grid cell to the closest fault and the epicentre's uncertainty into the smoothing kernel as the average distance and the variance, respectively. To illustrate this methodology, we selected two scenarios, one in central Italy where L'Aquila earthquake happened and one in south-eastern Spain, where several earthquakes with a moment magnitude (Mw) greater than 4.0 have taken place over the last 30 years, including two earthquakes with greater than or equal to 5.0 Mw. We compared three different seismic activity models based on the parameters considered in the calculations (distance from spatial cells to faults and epicentral distance uncertainty) and we defined and calculated the changes of the annual probability of exceedance for a given background PGA value. The results reveal an oscillation of the changes of the annual probability of exceedance in the proximity of the occurrence of significant events. The increase is more significant in high seismicity areas, such as Italy, but it is no so evident in moderate seismicity regions as Spain. However, we have observed how, for moderate to low seismicity regions, the use of a non-declustered catalogue can be appropriate when computing time-dependent PSHA, as in the case of Spain.
Leveraging a time-series event separation method to untangle time-varying hydrologic controls influence on wildfire disturbed streamflow
Authors: Canham Haley A. , Lane Belize A. , Phillips Colin B. , Murphy Brendan P.
Published: January 2024

Abstract. Watershed disturbances can have broad, long-lasting impacts that result in a range of streamflow response. Increasing disturbance regimes, particularly from wildfire, is a growing concern for watershed management. The influence of watershed disturbances on rainfall-runoff patterns has proved challenging to isolate from undisturbed streamflow variability due to the role of hydrologic controls that vary through time, including water year type, seasonality, and antecedent precipitation. To better assess the influence of watershed disturbance on rainfall-runoff event patterns we developed the Rainfall-Runoff Event Detection and Identification (RREDI) toolkit. The RREDI toolkit is a novel time-series event separation method that automates the pairing and attribution of precipitation and streamflow events, leveraging and building on existing event separation methods. A rainfall-runoff event dataset of 5042 events was generated by the RREDI toolkit from a collection of nine western US study watersheds spanning a range of streamflow regimes, watershed properties, and burn characteristics. Through analyzing the rainfall-runoff event dataset, we found that water year type and season were significant controls on rainfall-runoff metrics. The significance of antecedent precipitation was variable between watersheds, indicating a more complex relationship for this control. The watershed-specific permutations of significant controls resulted in unique significant condition group trends in the rainfall storm depth and peak runoff relationship in two contrasting watersheds. In general, for each of the significant condition groups post-fire peak runoff was higher than undisturbed peak runoff except during winter in snow-dominated watersheds. Consideration of the time-varying hydrologic controls, particularly water year type and season, were identified as important when untangling the influence of wildfire on the rainfall-runoff patterns. The RREDI toolkit can be further applied to investigate the influence of other watershed disturbances and controls to increase understanding of rainfall-runoff patterns across the landscape.
StraitFlux – Precise computations of Water Strait fluxes on various Modelling Grids
Authors: Winkelbauer Susanna , Mayer Michael , Haimberger Leopold
Published: January 2024

Abstract. Oceanic transports shape the global climate, but the evaluation and validation of this key quantity based on reanalysis and model data is complicated by the distortion of the used curvilinear ocean model grids towards their displaced north poles. Combined with the large number of different grid types, this has made the exact calculation of oceanic transports a challenging and time-consuming task. Use of data on standard latitude/longitude grids is not an option since transports computed from those are not mass consistent. We present two methods for transport calculations on grids with variously shifted north poles, different orientations, and different Arakawa partitions. The first method calculates net transports through arbitrary sections using line integrals, while the second method generates cross-sections of the vertical-horizontal planes of these sections using vector projection algorithms. Apart from the input data on the original model grids the user only needs to specify the start and end points of the required section to get the net transports (with both methods) and their integrand (for the second method). This allows to calculate oceanic fluxes through almost arbitrary sections, to compare them with observed oceanic volume and energy transports at available sections such as the RAPID array or at Fram strait and other Arctic gateways, or to compare them amongst reanalyses and to model integrations from the Coupled Model Intercomparison Projects (CMIP). We implemented our methods in a Python package called StraitFlux. This paper represents its scienfic documentation and demonstrates its application on outputs of multiple CMIP6 models and several ocean reanalyses. We also analyse the robustness and computational performance of the tools as well as the uncertainties of the results. The package is available on github and zenodo and can be installed using pypi.
Unlocking the Potential of Melting Calorimetry: A Field Protocol for Liquid Water Content Measurement in Snow
Authors: Barella Riccardo , Bavay Mathias , Carletti Francesca , Ciapponi Nicola , Premier Valentina , Marin Carlo
Published: January 2024

Abstract. Melting calorimetry, a classic experiment conducted in high school chemistry laboratories using calorimeters made from coffee cups, holds untapped potential beyond its educational context. Despite the fact that in the past this technique has been successfully used to measure the liquid water content in snow, its widespread adoption was impeded as it is often unjustly associated with generating large measurement errors. This paper shows how this technique can be incorporated in a rigorous field protocol to measure the liquid water content in the snow providing also a quantification of the uncertainty associated to the measurements. The results presented here encourage the use of melting calorimetry in all cases where liquid water content of the snow has to be quantified.
High-resolution numerical modelling of seasonal volume, freshwater, and heat transport along the Indian coast

Published: January 2024

Abstract. Seasonal reversal of winds and equatorial remote forcing influences the circulation of the Arabian Sea (AS) and Bay of Bengal (BoB) basins in the North Indian Ocean. In this study, we numerically modelled the physical characteristics of AS and BoB, using the MITgcm model at a high spatial resolution of 1/20° forced with climatological initial and boundary conditions. The simulated temperature, salinity, and flow fields were validated with satellite and in situ datasets. We then studied the exchange of coastal waters by evaluating transports computed from the model simulations. The alongshore volume transport on the eastern coast is stronger with high seasonal variability due to the poleward-flowing western boundary current and equatorward-flowing East Indian Coastal Current. West coast transport is influenced by large intraseasonal oscillations. The alongshore freshwater transport is two orders less than the alongshore volume transport. Out of the net volume transport, freshwater accounts for a maximum of 6.03 % during the southwest monsoon season followed by 4.85 % in the post-monsoon season. We observe an inverse relationship between alongshore freshwater and volume transport on the western coast and a direct relationship on the eastern coast. Seasonal variations between the cross-shore volume transport and its alongshore component also present such a contradiction along the western coast while displaying in-phase behaviour on the eastern coast. We also observed that meridional heat transport over AS is stronger than BoB. Both basins act as a heat source during the summer monsoon and heat sink during the winter. This high-resolution model set-up simulates all the important physical climatological patterns making it a useful tool in various physical as well as biogeochemical studies in this region.

Abstract. Global warming and glacier retreat are affecting the morphodynamics of proglacial rivers. In response to changing hydrology, the altered hydraulics will significantly impact future glacifluvial erosion and proglacial channel development. This study analyses a proglacial channel evolution process at the foreland of Austria’s biggest glacier Pasterze, by predicted runoff until 2050 based on a glacio-hydrological model. A high-resolution digital elevation model was created by an unmanned aerial vehicle, sediment was sampled, a one-dimensional hydrodynamic-numerical model was generated, and bedload transport formulas were used to calculate the predicted transport capacity of the proglacial river. Due to the fine sediment composition near the glacier terminus (d50< 79 mm), the calculation results underline the process of headward erosion in the still unaffected, recently deglaciated river section. In contrast, an armor layer is already partly established by the coarse grain size distribution in the already incised river section (d50> 179 mm). Furthermore, already reoccurring exposed non-fluvial grain sizes combined with decreasing flow competence in the long term indicate erosion-resistant pavement layer formation disconnecting the subsurface sediments for glacifluvial reworking (vertical landform decoupling). The presented study shows that subsystems exhibiting pavement layer formation by grains exceeding the predicted transport capacity supported by non-fluvial sediments are found at the investigated glacier foreland. Thus, an extension accompanied by a refinement of the fluvial system in the sediment cascade approach was developed as a central result.

Published: January 2024

Abstract. Parameter sensitivity analysis plays a critical role in efficiently determining main parameters, enhancing the effectiveness of the estimation of parameters and uncertainty quantification in hydrologic modeling. In this paper, we demonstrate an uncertainty and sensitivity analysis technique for the holistic Soil and Water Assessment Tool (SWAT+) model coupled with new gwflow module, spatially distributed, physically based groundwater flow modeling. The main calculated groundwater inflows and outflows include boundary exchange, pumping, saturation excess flow, groundwater–surface water exchange, recharge, groundwater–lake exchange and tile drainage outflow. We present the method for four watersheds located in different areas of the United States for 16 years (2000–2015), emphasizing regions of extensive tile drainage (Winnebago River, Minnesota, Iowa), intensive surface–groundwater interactions (Nanticoke River, Delaware, Maryland), groundwater pumping for irrigation (Cache River, Missouri, Arkansas) and mountain snowmelt (Arkansas Headwaters, Colorado). The main parameters of the coupled SWAT+gwflow model are estimated utilizing the parameter estimation software PEST. The monthly streamflow of holistic SWAT+gwflow is evaluated based on the Nash–Sutcliffe efficiency index (NSE), percentage bias (PBIAS), determination coefficient (R2) and Kling–Gupta efficiency coefficient (KGE), whereas groundwater head is evaluated using mean absolute error (MAE). The Morris method is employed to identify the key parameters influencing hydrological fluxes. Furthermore, the iterative ensemble smoother (iES) is utilized as a technique for uncertainty quantification (UQ) and parameter estimation (PE) and to decrease the computational cost owing to the large number of parameters. Depending on the watershed, key identified selected parameters include aquifer specific yield, aquifer hydraulic conductivity, recharge delay, streambed thickness, streambed hydraulic conductivity, area of groundwater inflow to tile, depth of tiles below ground surface, hydraulic conductivity of the drain perimeter, river depth (for groundwater flow processes), runoff curve number (for surface runoff processes), plant uptake compensation factor, soil evaporation compensation factor (for potential and actual evapotranspiration processes), soil available water capacity and percolation coefficient (for soil water processes). The presence of gwflow parameters permits the recognition of all key parameters in the surface and/or subsurface flow processes, with results substantially differing if the base SWAT+ models are utilized.
On the potential of using smartphone sensors for wildfire hazard estimation

Abstract. Weather conditions that can enhance wildfire potential are a problem faced by many countries around the world. Wildfires can have major economic impacts as well as prolonged effects on populations and ecosystems. Distributing information on fire hazards to the public and first responders in real-time is crucial for fire risk management and risk reduction. Although most fires today are caused by people, weather conditions determine if and how fast the fire spreads. In particular, research has shown that atmospheric vapor pressure deficit (VPD) is a key parameter predicting the dryness of vegetation and the available fuel for fires. VPD is determined from the environmental air temperature and relative humidity, both of which are readily obtained from smartphones carried by the public. In this study we use smartphone data from the OpenSignal company, collected during almost 4 years and from more than 40,000 users per day, to estimate VPD values. We have found that smartphone data can provide useful information about fire risk and danger. Here we present two case studies from wildfires in Israel and Portugal in which VPD is calculated using calibrated temperature and relative humidity measurements from smartphones. Given the exponential growth in the number of smartphones around the globe, we propose applying smartphone data for meteorological research and fire-weather applications.
Contemporary Human and Positive Psychology Services

Published: January 2024

Usually, when two people meet, and immediately after exchanging greetings, one of them asks the other a question: How's it going ? The answer is based on an estimate of how it expresses a certain degree of satisfaction, ranging from quality to poor. When they are separated, one of them recommends to the other to take care of himself . The question at the beginning and the commandment at the end are expressions of dangers that constantly threaten the conditions of oneself . These dangers are negative emotions such as depression, anxiety, fear... These emotions will undoubtedly take over if we do not take care of them not as a cure, but thanks to prevention and anticipation. Therefore, an approach has emerged within the field of psychology that has made the psychology of psychological well - being a self - based research at the core of positive psychology, as an orientation that greatly supports the engagement of the bright aspects-rather than the dark ones-in the personality of the individual and society .

Impacts of Conventional Plowing on The Bearing Capacity of Ferralitic Soil in Benin Republic
Authors: Boko Christelle Sandra Ayina , Bagan Gontrand Comlan , Zokpodo Barnabé Lié Koessi
Published: January 2024

The present work involved a study of the impact of tillage on soil resistance using a three-body disc plow hitched to a 60 hp tractor, on soil structure. All plowing was carried out on the same day with this plow on 21 plots, divided into 3 blocks of 7 elementary plots serving as treatments. Treatments are designated P0. P1, P2, P4, P8, P12, and P15 corresponding to plowing frequencies: 0, 2, 4, 8, 12, and 15. The P0 treatment is used as a control. The tests were carried out in accordance with the standards: NF P 94-050.1995, for water content by weight, NF EN 1097-3.1998, for apparent density, and NF EN 1097-6.2001 for porosity. Soil conductivity was determined using the Muntz method. The results show that plowing at a minimum frequency of one or two per cycle provides better soil resistance. Two plowings per cycle gave better soil resistance (20.8 (0.27) bc; 19.6 (0.27) d), water content (0.016 (0.002) b ; 0.015 (0.002) b). Soil hardness and density decrease with increasing water content, while porosity increases with plowing frequency (0.437 (0.017) a to 0.478 (0.017) a). For this type of soil, one or two plowings are more than enough to maintain better soil resistance and water conservation. This work has enabled rural actors, and farm machinery operators in particular, to better carry out tillage operations.

The Impact Of Green Bond Issuance And ESG Performance On Firm Profitability: Evidence From Listed Companies In China, South Korea And Thailand
Authors: Wicaksono Kunto Adi
Published: January 2024

Concern on the detrimental effects of climate change is one reason for the increased global attention to sustainability issues. Significant investment is required to achieve carbon neutrality by 2050, and financing through green bonds is one alternative to fund green projects. On the other side, ESG criteria are frequently used as a measurement to assess corporations' commitment and actions toward net zero emission targets. However, whether the issuance of green bonds and ESG performance can increase profitability is still a big concern for companies. Using panel data from listed firms in China, South Korea, and Thailand from 2016 to 2022, this study employs the Difference-in-Difference (DID) model to investigate the impact of green bond issuance and ESG performance on firm profitability. Furthermore, panel data regression is used to examine the impact of green bond issuance on ESG performance. According to the findings of this study, the issuance of green bonds had no significant impact on ROA or ROE. However, according to the DID regression result, ESG performance (esg_1t) had a positive and significant effect on ROE (at a 10% significance level). This study also discovered that issuing green bonds (green_bond) had a negative and significant impact on the company's ESG performance.
