Source term estimation using air concentration measurements and a Lagrangian dispersion model – Experiments with pseudo and real cesium-137 observations from the Fukushima nuclear accident
Abstract A transfer coefficient matrix (TCM) was created in a previous study using a Lagrangian dispersion model to provide plume predictions under different emission scenarios. The TCM estimates the contribution of each emission period to all...

Three-dimensional geological modelling of AEM resistivity data — A comparison of three methods
Abstract Spatially dense Airborne Electromagnetic Method (AEM) surveys are increasingly acquired to provide a background for creating 3D geological models. These datasets provide a high degree of detail that is very time-consuming and challenging to ...

Application of a stochastic weather generator to assess climate change impacts in a semi-arid climate: The Upper Indus Basin
Summary Assessing local climate change impacts requires downscaling from Global Climate Model simulations. Here, a stochastic rainfall model (RainSim) combined with a rainfall conditioned weather generator (CRU WG) have been successfully applied in...

Indoor air pollution from burning yak dung as a household fuel in Tibet
Abstract Yak dung is widely used for cooking and heating in Tibet. We measured real-time concentrations of black carbon (BC) and fine particulate matter with an aerodynamic diameter of 2.5 μm or less (PM2.5) emitted by yak dung burning in six...

Measuring freshwater aquatic ecosystems: The need for a hyperspectral global mapping satellite mission
Abstract Freshwater ecosystems underpin global water and food security, yet are some of the most endangered ecosystems in the world because they are particularly vulnerable to land management change and climate variability. The US National Research...

Specifications of ZnO growth for heterostructure solar cell and PC1D based simulations
Abstract This data article is related to our recently published article (Hussain et al., in press [1]) where we have proposed a new solar cell model based on n-ZnO as front layer and p-Si as rear region. The ZnO layer will act as an active n-layer...
