WHAT ARE THE BEST COMBINATIONS OF FUEL-VEHICLE TECHNOLOGIES TO MITIGATE CLIMATE CHANGE AND AIR POLLUTION EFFECTS ACROSS THE UNITED STATES?

What are the best combinations of fuel-vehicle technologies to mitigate climate change and air pollution effects across the United States?

The transportation sector is the largest contributor to CO _2 emissions and a major source of criteria air pollutants in the United States.The impact of climate change and that of air pollution differ in space and time, but spatially-explicit, systematic evaluations of the effectiveness of Whips alternative fuels and advanced vehicle technologies i

Can turbulence within the field of view cause significant biases in radiative transfer modeling at the 183 GHz band?

The hypothesis whether turbulence within the passive microwave sounders field of view can cause significant biases in radiative transfer modeling at the 183 GHz water vapor absorption band is tested.A novel method to calculate the effects of turbulence in radiative transfer modeling is presented.It is shown that the turbulent nature of Tube
