Fuel cell application to mitigate load ramping impacts of rooftop pv system installation by Das, Chandreyee Manas, Ghosh, Anurag

“…However, with increased penetration from the grid tied PV systems, there is an inevitable rise in stress faced by conventional generators in terms of meeting and balancing the energy requirements during early morning and late afternoon hours which requires precise switching and control mechanisms. …”

Sea breeze simulation over the Malay Peninsula in an intermonsoon period by Joseph, B., Koh, Tieh Yong., Chen, S., Bhatt, Bhuwan Chandra.

“…On the peninsulascale, convection was first initiated along the low-level convergence line that became established along the west coastal region of the Malay Peninsula in the early afternoon. Deep clouds that led to thunderstorms developed in the northwestern part of the Malay Peninsula after the sea breeze encountered the mountain wave induced under the ambient easterlies above the mountain ridge line. …”

Effects of the cold tongue in the South China Sea on the monsoon, diurnal cycle and rainfall in the maritime continent by Koseki, Shunya, Koh, Tieh-Yong, Teo, Chee-Kiat

“…Along the northern coast of Java far from the SCS, the night–morning rainfall is much reduced over the Java Sea when the cold tongue is suppressed because of the weakened land-breeze front as a result of the weakened northerly monsoon. In contrast, the afternoon–evening rainfall on Java Island is slightly enhanced, showing that the local impacts are not simply the result of large-scale subsidence from the convective anomaly in the SCS. …”

Regional similarities and NOx‐related increases in biogenic secondary organic aerosol in summertime Southeastern United States by Liu, Jun, Russell, Lynn M., Ruggeri, Giulia, Takahama, Satoshi, Claflin, Megan S., Ziemann, Paul J., Pye, Havala O. T., Murphy, Benjamin N., Xu, Lu, Ng, Nga L., McKinney, Karena A., Budisulistiorini, Sri Hapsari, Bertram, Timothy H., Nenes, Athanasios, Surratt, Jason D.

“…The BOA mass fraction was highest during the night at CTR but in the afternoon at LRK. AMS PMF resulted in two similar pairs of factors at both sites and a third nighttime NOx‐related factor (33% of OM) at CTR but a daytime nitrate‐related factor (28% of OM) at LRK. …”

The spatiotemporal relationship between PM2.5 and aerosol optical depth in China: influencing factors and implications for satellite PM2.5 estimations using MAIAC aerosol optical d... by He, Qingqing, Wang, Mengya, Yim, Steve Hung Lam

“…Temporally, the PM2.5-AOD correlation peaked at noon and in the afternoon, and reached a maximum in winter. Simultaneously, considering relative humidity (RH) and the planetary boundary layer height (PBLH) in the relationship can improve the correlation, but the effect of RH and the PBLH on the correlation varied spatially and temporally with respect to both strength and direction. …”
