TL;DR: The CWRF as discussed by the authors is developed as a climate extension of the Weather Research and Forecasting model by incorporating numerous improvements in the representation of physical processes and integration of external (top, surface, lateral) forcings that are crucial to climate scales, including interactions between land, atmosphere, and ocean; convection and microphysics; and cloud, aerosol, and radiation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Seasonal variation of heavy metals in ambient air and precipitation at a single site in Washington, DC.
TL;DR: The spread in the heavy metal concentration over the observation period suggests a high seasonal variability for heavy metal content in both ambient air and wet deposition samples.
Journal ArticleDOI
Evidence of mineral dust altering cloud microphysics and precipitation
Qilong Min,Rui Li,Bing Lin,Everette Joseph,Shuyu Wang,Yongxiang Hu,Vernon R. Morris,Fu-Lung Chang +7 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the impact of mineral dust on cloud microphysical and precipitation processes in mesoscale con- vective systems was investigated using multi-platform and multi-sensor observations, and the consequences of microphysical effects of the dust aerosols were to shift the precipitation size spectrum from heavy precipitation to light precipitation and ultimately suppressing precipitation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Assessment of Public Health Risks Associated with Atmospheric Exposure to PM2.5 in Washington, DC, USA
TL;DR: There are significant risks of ward-specific pediatric asthma emergency room visits (ERV) and lifetime excess lung cancer risks, exceeding the 1×10−6 threshold for the measured levels of particulate matter and heavy metals on behalf of numerous subpopulations in the DC selected wards.
Journal ArticleDOI
Graphene oxide functionalized polyethersulfone membrane to reduce organic fouling
TL;DR: In this article, a three-step method is developed to covalently bind graphene oxide (GO) nanosheets onto a polyethersulfone (PES) support to create an ultrafiltration membrane that is resistant to organic fouling.
