Article Synopsis
- This study analyzes stratocumulus cloud clearings off the US West Coast over a ten-year period, using various remote sensing and airborne data to understand their characteristics, especially focusing on frequency and growth rates during different seasons.
- Findings indicate that these clearings are most frequent in summer and least in winter, with their dimensional growth peaking during daytime hours, and several environmental factors such as air temperature and sea surface temperature significantly influencing their growth rates.
- The research reveals distinct features of clearings, including specific atmospheric conditions and variables, and suggests that although clearings reduce cloud fractions, they can lead to slightly higher cloud albedo on those days.
The effect of dielectric cladding on the waveguiding characteristics of an array of metallic pillars on a metal plane in the sub-terahertz band is explored. Firstly, a 2D structure made up of a metallic grating of infinite lateral width with various dielectric overlays is analytically studied to get more insight into the problem. Then the ideas inferred from the 2D structure are applied to the realistic 3D structure that has a finite lateral width.
