Evapotranspiration Partitioning of the <i>Populus euphratica</i> Forest Ecosystem in the Drylands of Northwestern China by Qi Zhang, Qi Feng, Yonghong Su, Cuo Jian

“…In addition, the exchange of water and carbon across different scales was governed by distinct regulatory mechanisms, where canopy-level WUE (WUEc) primarily depended on climatic conditions, while ecosystem-level WUE (WUEe) was more strongly influenced by vegetation structural characteristics. This study provided valuable insights into the ET characteristics, influencing factors, and water–carbon consumption mechanisms of desert vegetation in arid regions, and the conclusions of the discussion may provide theoretical insights for policymakers and ecosystem managers interested in preserving the ecological balance of arid regions.…”

Anvil–radiation diurnal interaction: shortwave radiative-heating destabilization driving the diurnal variation of convective anvil outflow and its modulation on the radiative cance... by Z. Wang

“…Convective organizations and life stages are derived from the images of infrared brightness temperature (BT) of geostationary (GEO) satellites based on a variable-BT segment-tracking algorithm, which allows the possibility for quantifying the convective anvil outflow. Vertical structures of convection are measured by sensors of the A-Train constellation, which provides the cross section of convective outflow. …”

“…The impact on bending strength is due to the presence of voids, which are gas or air trapped within the specimen structure. This is evidenced by micrographic analysis and density measurements, where the 28°C variation had the lowest density of 2.01 gr/cm3, while the 35°C and 50°C variations had the same density of 2.41 gr/cm3.…”
