A THREE-DIMENSIONAL VARIATIONAL DATA ASSIMILATION SYSTEM FOR AEROSOL OPTICAL PROPERTIES BASED ON WRF-CHEM V4.0: DESIGN, DEVELOPMENT, AND APPLICATION OF ASSIMILATING HIMAWARI-8 AEROSOL OBSERVATIONS

A three-dimensional variational data assimilation system for aerosol optical properties based on WRF-Chem v4.0: design, development, and application of assimilating Himawari-8 aerosol observations

This paper presents a three-dimensional variational (3DVAR) data assimilation (DA) system for aerosol optical properties, including aerosol optical thickness (AOT) retrievals and lidar-based aerosol profiles, developed for the Model for Simulating Aerosol Interactions and Chemistry (MOSAIC) within the Weather Research and Forecasting model coupled

Operational Stability of Hydropower Plant with Upstream and Downstream Surge Chambers during Small Load Disturbance

A surge chamber is a common pressure reduction facility in a hydropower plant.Owing to large flow inertia in the upstream Medical and Ambulatory supplies / Apparel headrace tunnel and downstream tailrace tunnel, a hydropower plant with upstream and downstream surge chambers (HPUDSC) was adopted.This paper aimed to investigate the operational stabil
