  Mar. 17, 2021432 words Article Air pollution, in particular high concentrations of particulate matter smaller than 1 µm in diameter (PM.sub.1 ), continues to be a major health problem, and meteorology is known to substantially influence atmospheric...

• Synoptic-scale controls of fog and low-cloud variability in the Namib Desert

  Authors:Hendrik Andersen, Jan Cermak, Julia Fuchs, Peter Knippertz, Marco Gaetani, Julian Quinting, et al.From:Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics (Vol. 20, Issue 6) Peer-Reviewed

  Mar. 24, 2020476 words Brief article Fog is a defining characteristic of the climate of the Namib Desert, and its water and nutrient input are important for local ecosystems. In part due to sparse observation data, the local mechanisms that lead to fog...
