Study on the Glare Phenomenon and Time-Varying Characteristics of Luminance in the Access Zone of the East–West Oriented Tunnel by Jinghang Xiao, Bo Liang, Jia’an Niu, Can Qin

“…The results indicate that the luminance L₂₀(S) outside the tunnel towards the east (west) generally shows a trend of first increasing and then decreasing, and reaches its maximum value in the morning (afternoon). The difference in the contribution ratio of luminance inside and outside the tunnel for this type shows an overall trend of first increasing and then decreasing, and the maximum difference appears in the morning (afternoon), reaching about 97% and 96% respectively. …”

Quantitative assessment of the scale conversion from instantaneous to daily GPP under various sky conditions based on MODIS local overpassing time by Junghee Lee, Jungho Im

“…The upscaled daily GPP exhibited minimal deviation from the half-hourly GPPs collected between 11 am and 1 pm, with increased discrepancies for GPPs later in the afternoon. The PAR-based approach demonstrated superior accuracy in the afternoon, effectively capturing incoming radiation changes due to clouds. …”

Investigation of Land–Atmosphere Coupling during the Extreme Rainstorm of 20 July 2021 over Central East China by Yakai Guo, Changliang Shao, Aifang Su

“…The results show that (1) except for the stratospheric thermodynamics and the surface temperature over mountain areas, the main characteristics of the mid-low atmospheric layers and the surface have been well captured in this modeled rainstorm; (2) the typical coupling intensity is characterized by the dominant morning moistening, an early afternoon weak PBL warming factor of around 2, a noontime buoyant mixing temperature deficit around 274 K, daytime PBL and surface latent flux contributions of around 100 and 280 W/m², respectively, and significant afternoon soil-surface latent flux coupling; and (3) an overall negative soil–rainfall relationship can be identified from the ensemble metrics in which the moist static energy is more significant than PBL height, and this is consistent with the significance of daytime surface moistening indicated by local coupling metrics. …”
