TL;DR: In this paper, the photometric properties of the small-scale (i.e., centimeter level) undisturbed lunar regolith around the Chang'E-4 landing site were determined from a series of photometric experiments conducted by the rover Yutu-2.

Ecohydrological effects of photovoltaic solar farms on soil microclimates and moisture regimes in arid Northwest China: A modeling study
TL;DR: In this paper , the authors designed a synthetic model, integrating processes of energy budget and water cycle, to quantify the ecohydrological effects of PVs on soil microclimate and moisture regimes at different locations (zones) near individual PVs.

Technical Note: Improved total atmospheric water vapour amount determination from near-infrared filter measurements with sun photometers
TL;DR: In this article, the authors explored the effect of the contribution of the solar spectrum to the recorded signal in wavelengths outside the typical 940-nm filter's bandwidth, and employed gaussian-shaped filters as well as actual filter transmission curves, mainly AERONET data, to study the implications imposed by the nonzero out-of-band contribution to the coefficients used to derive precipitable water from the measured water vapour band transmittance.

Kinetic reconstruction of TiO2 surfaces as visible-light-active crystalline phases with high photocatalytic performance
TL;DR: In this article, a simple bombardment of anatase TiO2 nanocrystals by hot molecules can alter its phase transformation kinetics and lead to the reconstruction of the resulting rutile surfaces into a metastable surface crystalline structure.

Simple Solar Spectral Model for Direct and Diffuse Irradiance on Horizontal and Tilted Planes at the Earth's Surface for Cloudless Atmospheres
Richard E. Bird,C. Riordan +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a simple model for calculating direct normal and diffuse horizontal spectral solar irradiance for cloudless sky conditions was described. But the model was developed using rigorous radiative transfer codes and limited outdoor measurements.

The solar radiation between 3300 and 12500 Å
Heinz Neckel,Dietrich Labs +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors presented a merging of the absolute integrals of the disk-center intensity for 20 A wide spectral bands and the ratios of mean to central intensity derived from recent observations of the center-to-limb variation of those bands (λ 6600 A).

Parameterized transmittance model for direct beam and circumsolar spectral irradiance
TL;DR: In this article, an upgraded spectral radiation model called SMARTS2 (Simple Model of the Atmospheric Radiative Transfer of Sunshine) is introduced, based on spectral transmittance functions for the main extinction processes in the cloudless atmosphere: Rayleigh scattering, aerosol extinction, and absorption by ozone, uniformly mixed gases, water vapor, and nitrogen dioxide.
