Abstract seasonal changes characteristics in the respiration of four reconstructed soils Abstract: seasonal changes characteristics in the respiration of four reconstructed soil masses 9 in a barren gravel land were monitored using soil carbon flux measurement system. The 10 results showed that (1) The seasonal changes in soil respiration and heterotrophic respiration 11 of four reconstructed soils of meteorite, shale, sand and soft rock were the same as the 12 seasonal change in soil temperature. Soil respiration and heterotrophic respiration increased 13 with soil temperature. It was gradually increasing, reaching the maximum in summer and 14 decreasing to the minimum in winter. Among the four reconstructed soils, the average annual 15 soil respiration of reconstructed soil with sand was 4.87 μmol•m –2 •s –1 , which was 16 significantly higher than the other reconstructed soils (p<0.05).(2) The autotrophic respiration 17 of four reconstructed soils showed obvious seasonal dynamic changes. The maximum and 18 minimum values appeared in August 2018 and January 2018, respectively. In the whole year, 19 The variation range of the annual average soil autotrophic respiration in the total respiration 20 of the reconstituted soil with addtion of meteorite, shale, sand and soft rock were 12.5-38.0%, 21 9.5-42.0%, 7.7-41.2%, and 5.0-39.3%, respectively.(3) Soil temperature was the main factor 22 affecting soil respiration. The four reconstructed respiration had a very significant correlation 23 with soil temperature (p<0.01). The relationship between reconstructed soils respiration and 24 soil temperature can be indexed function characterization. The 90% to 93% changes in soil 25 respiration of reconstructed soils were caused by soil temperature. The order of Q 10 in soils 26 respiration of four reconstructed was as follows: Sand> shale> soft rock > meteorite.

Abstract. The carbon balance of high-latitude terrestrial ecosystems plays an essential role in the atmospheric concentration of trace gases, including carbon dioxide (CO2) and methane (CH4). Increasing atmospheric methane levels have contributed to ∼ 20 % of the observed global warming since the pre-industrial era. Rising temperatures in the Arctic are expected to promote the release of methane from Arctic ecosystems. Still, existing methane flux measurement efforts are sparse and highly scattered, and further attempts to assess the landscape fluxes over multiple years are needed. Here we combine multi-year July–August methane flux monitoring (2006–2019) from automated flux chambers in the central fens of Zackenberg Valley, northeast Greenland, with several flux measurement campaigns on the most common vegetation types in the valley to estimate the landscape fluxes over 14 years. Methane fluxes based on manual chamber measurements are available from campaigns in 1997, 1999–2000, and in shorter periods from 2007–2013 and were summarized in several published studies. The landscape fluxes are calculated for the entire valley floor and a smaller subsection of the valley floor, containing the productive fen area, Rylekærene. When integrated for the valley floor, the estimated July–August landscape fluxes were low compared to the single previous estimate, while the landscape fluxes for Rylekærene were comparable to previous estimates. The valley floor was a net methane source during July–August, with estimated mean methane fluxes ranging from 0.18 to 0.67 mg m−2 h−1. The mean methane fluxes in the fen-rich Rylekærene were substantially higher, with fluxes ranging from 0.98 to 3.26 mg m−2 h−1. A 2017–2018 erosion event indicates that some fen and grassland areas in the center of the valley are becoming unstable following pronounced fluvial erosion and a prolonged period of permafrost warming. Although such physical disturbance in the landscape can disrupt the current ecosystem–atmosphere flux patterns, even pronounced future erosion of ice-rich areas is unlikely to impact methane fluxes on a landscape scale significantly. Instead, projected changes in future climate in the valley play a more critical role. The results show that multi-year landscape methane fluxes are highly variable on a landscape scale and stress the need for long-term spatially distributed measurements in the Arctic.

Abstract We report NASA-DLR SOFIA upGREAT circumstellar [O i] 63.2 μm and [C ii] 157.7 μm emission profiles and FIFI-LS [O i] 63.2 μm, [O i] 145.5 μm, and [C ii] 157.7 μm fluxes obtained shortly after Betelgeuse’s 2019/2020 Great Dimming event. Haas et al. noted a potential correlation between the [O i] 63.2 μm flux and V magnitude based on three Kuiper Airborne Observatory observations made with the CGS and FIFI instruments. The FIFI observation was obtained when V ≃ 0.88 and revealed a 3σ non-detection at a quarter of the previous CGS flux measurement made when V ≃ 0.35. A potential explanation could be a change in dust-gas drag heating by circumstellar silicates caused by variations in the photospheric radiation field. SOFIA observations provide a unique test of this correlation because the V-band brightness went to its lowest value on record, V ≃ 1.61, with the SOFIA observations being made when V FIFI−LS ≃ 1.51 and V upGREAT ≃ 1.36. The upGREAT spectra show a [O i] 63.2 μm flux larger than previous space observatory measurements obtained when V ≃ 0.58. The profile is consistent with formation in the slower, more turbulent inner S1 outflow, while the [C ii] 157.7 μm profile is consistent with formation farther out in the faster S2 outflow. Modeling of dust-gas drag heating, combined with 25 yr of Wing three-filter and V photometry, reveals that it is unlikely that the S1 circumstellar envelope and [O i] 63.2 μm fluxes are dominated by the dust-gas drag heating and that another heating source is also active. The [O i] 63.2 μm profile is hard to reconcile with existing outflow velocity models.

Abstract. This study presents a fine scale simulation approach to assess the representativity of ammonia (NH3) measurements in proximity of an emission source. Close proximity to emission sources (< 5 km) can introduce a bias in regionally representative measurements of the NH3 molar fraction and flux. Measurement sites should therefore be located a significant distance from emission sources, but such requirements are poorly defined and can be difficult to meet in densely agricultural regions. This study presents a consistent criterium to assess the regional representativity of NH3 measurements in proximity of an emission source, calculating variables that quantify the NH3 plume dispersion using a series of numerical experiments at a fine resolution (20 m). Our fine scale simulation framework with explicitly resolved turbulence enables us to distinguish between the background NH3 and the emission plume, including realistic representations of NH3 deposition and chemical gas-aerosol transformations. We introduce the concept of blending-distance, based on the calculation of turbulent fluctuations, to systematically analyze the impact of the emission plume on simulated measurements, relative to this background NH3. This sensitivity analysis includes systematic experiments varying meteorological factors, emission/deposition and NH3 dependences. Considering these sensitivities, we find that NH3 measurements should be located at a minimum distance of 0.5–2.5 km and 1–3.5 km from an emission source, for NH3 molar fraction and flux measurements respectively. The simulation framework presented here can easily be adapted to local conditions and paves the way for future ammonia research at high spatio-temporal resolution.

Abstract Heat transfer and critical heat flux measurement are reported for pool boiling cooling of the base plate of an inverter power module. Novec 649 is used as refrigerant. Heat fluxes up to 14.6 W/cm2 were applied with refrigerant saturation temperatures of 36 °C, 41 °C and 46 °C. The measured boiling curves are comparable to those reported for similar refrigerants. The critical heat fluxes range from 12.1 W/cm2 to 14.6 W/cm2, which corresponds within 10% to the correlation of Zuber. The critical heat flux is significantly lower than the highest heat fluxes expected from the power module, indicating that methods to increase the critical heat flux are needed to enable two-phase power module cooling.

Abstract The prognosis and health management (PHM) of hydroelectric plants are full of difficulties caused by the complexity of the hydro-generators where each machine is different and almost unique. At industrial level, several tools are used to monitor the generator condition. Among these tools, the measurement of magnetic stray flux is one which is gaining interest. This measurement is generally based on an inductive sensor and mainly mounted near the stator. The main advantages of the magnetic stray flux are the non-invasive nature and the simplicity of its implementation. In this work, the discrete wavelet transform (DWT) is used to decompose the stray flux signal. Short-Time-Wavelet-Entropy (STWE) is then applied to extract the features from the sub-bands. Finally, a variational auto-encoder (VAE) is used in an unsupervised learning process to structure the STWE signatures of more than 400 stray flux measurement collected on real hydroelectric plants. The obtained results show that the VAE has well captured the features from the wavelet entropy (WE) signatures. An analysis of the resulting latent space shows a strong correlation between a given trajectory in the reduced space and an increase of the WE.
