A compilation of global bio-optical in situ data for ocean-colour satellite applications – version four

Abstract. A global in situ dataset for validation of satellite products from the ESA Ocean Colour Climate Change Initiative (OC-CCI) is presented. This version of the compilation, with data starting in 1996, extends to 2025, which is important for the validation of recent algorit...

Tracking air volumes for assessing the effect of urban aerosols on convective precipitation: a multi-member modeling study

Abstract. Urban emissions impact aerosol–cloud interactions and thereby modify precipitation patterns, yet whether realistic emission perturbations from a mid-sized European city produce detectable effects above internal meteorological variability in a high-background aerosol env...

GeoHash3D: Robust and Efficient 6-DoF Pose Estimation from 3D Marker Sets

Accurately measuring the six degrees of freedom (6-DoF) pose of a sample is a critical prerequisite for applications in robotic sample handling, optical metrology, and industrial quality control. Our pose estimation problem requires matching a small, partial observation of 4–20 d...

Multi-scale experimental and numerical analysis of thermal conductivity improvements in metal hydride composite systems

The inherently low thermal conductivity of metal hydrides significantly hinders heat transfer and, consequently, the kinetics of hydrogen absorption and desorption processes. To address this limitation, strategies such as adding high-thermal-conductivity materials have been explo...

C60 Fullerene Promotes Restoration of Kidney Function After Chronic Glyphosate Intoxication

Glyphosate is one of the most widely used herbicides in modern agriculture. Toxicological studies have demonstrated that chronic glyphosate exposure is associated with the development of systemic disorders, particularly renal injury. Therefore, the search for effective therapeuti...
