We want to know if there are unique features of deep convective cloud (DCC), rain, and cloud properties that can be used to predict the rapid intensification (RI) of a tropical cyclone. RI can be predicted using DCC in a...

Air pollution can be a significant scientific topic, but it is also the most relevant issue that affects our lives. Almost all air quality monitoring in metropolitan areas, industrial areas, and their downwind areas rely...

Intense economic and industrial development in China has been accompanied by severe local air pollution, as well as in other downwind countries in East Asia. This study analyzes satellite observational data of sulfur dio...

In a forest, plants emit a number of highly reactive organic gases into the atmosphere. The major species include isoprene (C5H8), monoterpene (C10H16) and other terpenoids, which are also known as the essential componen...

To tackle the challenge of the data accuracy issues of low-cost sensors (LCSs), the objective of this work was to obtain robust correction equations to convert LCS signals into data comparable to that of research-grade i...

The intensity, frequency, duration, and contribution of distinct PM2.5 sources in Asian households have seldom been assessed; these are evaluated in this work with concurrent personal, indoor, and outdoor PM2.5 and PM1 m...

This work applied a newly developed low-cost sensing (LCS) device (AS-LUNG-P) and a certified medical LCS device (Rooti RX) to assessing PM2.5 impacts on heart rate variability (HRV) and determining important exposure so...

The puffy white clouds floating in the blue sky often inspirea leisurely sentiment, yet they actually play a very important role in the earth’s atmosphere. The most familiar to the public is that they may produce r...

In Taiwan, river dust is a common phenomenon caused by strong winds under certain drought atmospheric conditions such as winter monsoon, foehn winds and even typhoon circulations. River dust has severe impact on air qua...

This study evaluated a newly developed sensing device, AS-LUNG-O, against a research-grade GRIMM in laboratory and ambient conditions and used AS-LUNG-O to assess PM2.5 spatiotemporal variations at street levels of an As...
