Discrimination between sea ice and clouds over the Chukchi Sea via China’s ultraviolet–visible-infrared observations by Ziyi Suo, Yingcheng Lu, Lijian Shi, Bin Zou, Qing Wang, Ling Li, Jun Tang, Weimin Ju, Manchun Li

“…In comparison to the MODIS MOD29 sea ice product, which masks cloud pixels with brightness temperature (BT) differences, this algorithm can effectively reduce the misclassification resulting from surface temperature inversions in polar regions. The ice/cloud identification results have been further applied to sea ice concentration (SIC) estimation, and extensive trials of this UV-based ice/cloud detection approach in the Arctic Passages demonstrates its potential applicability.…”

Catalytic Effects of Different Metal Salts on Cotton Waste Textiles by Pyrolysis: Pyrolysis Behavior and Properties of Activated Carbon by Yixiao Zhang, Xingjie Zhao, Si Chen

“…The physical and chemical characteristic differences of the ACs were detected with SEM-EDS, BET, FTIR, and XPS. The results show that metal salts reduced the decomposition temperature of the CWTs and improved the pore structures and specific surface areas of the activated carbons (ACs). …”

The Role of Interfacial Effects in the Impedance of Nanostructured Solid Polymer Electrolytes by Martino Airoldi, Ullrich Steiner, Ilja Gunkel

“…The increase in ionic conductivity is related to the interfacial structure of the block copolymer domain morphology on the electrode surface. We show that the impedance associated with the electrode–electrolyte interface can be detected using nonmetallic electrodes, allowing us to distinguish the ionic conductivity behaviors of the bulk electrolyte and the interfacial layers for both as-prepared and annealed samples.…”

Lagrangian coherent structures influence the spatial structure of marine food webs by Jacquelyn M. Veatch, Matthew J. Oliver, Erick Fredj, Hank Statscewich, Kim Bernard, Ashley M. Hann, Grant Voirol, Heidi L. Fuchs, William R. Fraser, Josh T. Kohut

“…While currents can disperse or concentrate low-motility plankton into patches that reflect the dynamic fluid environments they inhabit, it remains unclear whether surface flows affect motile zooplankton. Here, we used an in-situ optical dataset to detect phytoplankton patches, active acoustics to observe krill, and GPS-tagged penguins to observe three levels of the food web. …”
