Point clouds from terrestrial laser scanning from crowns of individual Scots pine trees

<p>Trees adapt to their growing conditions by regulating the sizes of their parts and their relationships. For example, removal or death of adjacent trees increases the growing space and the amount of light received by the remaining trees enabling their crowns to expand. Knowledge about the effects of silvicultural practices on crown size and shape as well as about the quality of branches affecting the shape of a crown is, however, still limited. Laser scanning (or Light detecting and ranging LiDAR) has provided new opportunities for characterizing trees in more detail in three-dimensional space. Especially terrestrial laser scanning (TLS) has increasingly been used in producing a variety of tree attributes. This data set includes 3D reconstruction of crowns of Scots pine (<em>Pinus sylvestris</em> L.) trees from sample plots with different thinning treatments. The thinning treatments include two intensities of thinning, three thinning types as well as control (i.e. no thinning treatment since the establishment). This data set can be used in developing point cloud processing algorithms for single tree crown characterization and for investigating variation in crown size and shape as well as the effects of various thinning treatments on crown size and shape of Scots pine trees grown in boreal forests.</p>

Retrieval results for optically thin clouds in the trades

<p>ASTER satellite observations at 15 m pixel resolution are used to extract the signal of optically thin clouds during the EUREC4A field campaign (https://doi.org/10.5194/essd-2021-18). The signal of optically thin clouds is derived as a residual from the all-sky minus the simulated clear-sky (https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.4842675) and minus the known cloudy signal according to following a common cloud masking scheme. The paper describing the method, dataset, and results is intended for publication in the journal of Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics (ACP) under Mieslinger et al., 2021.</p> <p>The dataset includes basic information of the relevant input variables to clear-sky radiative transfer simulations as well as the resulting probability density function over reflectance values and for discrete flag values (clear-sky, optically thin clouds, clouds) given an ASTER observation. This data builds the basis for any derived quantities such as the area fraction or the expected reflectance corresponding to a certain flag value.</p>

Lightweight Self-adaptive Cloud-IoT Monitoring across Fed4FIRE+ Testbeds (LiSCIo)

<p>Monitoring will be crucial to properly orchestrate next-gen services. Indeed, monitoring&rsquo;s output can be exploited to choose where to deploy application services for the first time and to decide when and where to migrate them in case their QoS and contextual requirements cannot be satisfied by the current deployment and infrastructure state. However, only a few works have focused so far on the design and prototyping of monitoring tools for next-gen Cloud-IoT computing platforms.</p> <p>In this context, <a href="https://github.com/di-unipi-socc/FogMon">FogMon</a>, described in (Brogi et al.,&nbsp;2019) and (Forti et al., 2021),&nbsp;is an open-source C++ distributed monitoring service targeting heterogeneous infrastructures along the Cloud-IoT continuum, e.g. Fog computing. FogMon monitors hardware and virtualised resources at different Cloud-IoT computing nodes, end-to-end network QoS between such nodes, as well as available IoT devices. Besides, it features a self-organising peer-to-peer overlay topology with self-restructuring mechanisms and differential monitoring updates, which feature scalability, fault-tolerance, and low communication overhead.</p> <p>The LiSCIo project aimed at assessing FogMon over increasing infrastructures from 20 to 40 Cloud and Edge nodes, spanning two testbeds within the Fed4Fire+ federated infrastructure. Particularly, LiSCIo implemented a new version of the service, i.e. <a href="https://github.com/di-unipi-socc/FogMon-LiSCIo/tree/2.0">FogMon 2.0</a>, which was thoroughly fixed and tuned over a large number of experiments carried on Fed4Fire+ facilities. Throughout the project, data have been collected on all the measurements performed by FogMon 1.x and by FogMon 2.0 (viz. node hardware, IoT, latency, bandwidth) to assess their footprint on hardware resources and bandwidth in all settings, and the relative error on its estimates of latency and bandwidth against ground-truth configurations, enforced via GRE tunnels.</p>

Intital simulation of Hunga-Tonga volcanic aerosol cloud with the UM-UKCA composition-climate model

<p>This dataset is from a series of &ldquo;forward projection&rdquo; interactive stratospheric aerosol simulations of the Jan 2022 Hunga-Tonga volcanic aerosol cloud with the UM-UKCA composition-climate model.&nbsp;&nbsp; The model experiments predict how the cloud will disperse through 2022, and apply the UM-UKCA model at GA4 (Walters et al., 2014), with GLOMAP v8.2, as applied for the &ldquo;MajorVolc&rdquo; datasets for Agung, El Chichon and Pinatubo (Dhomse et al., 2020), those runs aligned with the Historical Eruption SO2 emissions Assessment experiment within ISA-MIP (Timmreck et al., 2018).</p> <p>The &ldquo;standard&rdquo; Hunga-Tonga GA4 UM-UKCA experiment emits 0.4Tg of SO2 at 29-31km, within a 24-hour period, matching the detrainment duration specified for the ISA-MIP HErSEA experiment protocol.&nbsp; Following the stronger than expected mid-visible backscatter ratios (BSR) measured by CALIOP satellite-borne lidar, and from ground-based lidar from Reunion Island (very high BSR values &gt; 200), we also ran UM-UKCA simulations with &ldquo;scaled-up Hunga-Tonga SO2 emission&rdquo;, at 0.8, 1.2 and 1.6 Tg of SO2 emitted.</p> <p>Unexpectedly strong stratospheric AOD observed from the OMPS satellite months after the eruption further strengthens the motivation for these simulations.</p> <p>Several hypotheses for the high AOD from Hunga-Tonga have been suggested:<br> &nbsp;&nbsp; 1) an unusual amount of (or influence from) co-emitted ultra-fine ash particles<br> &nbsp;&nbsp; 2) &ldquo;in-plume oxidised sulphate&rdquo; already converted from SO2 at the time of detrainment<br> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; (e.g. via aqueous-phase oxidation within water droplets within the eruptive plume).<br> &nbsp;&nbsp; 3) co-emitted marine aerosol (e.g. sea-salt aerosol) from seawater vaporized in the plume<br> &nbsp;</p> <p>There are 4 types of netcdf files, Stratospheric AOD (saod), Effective Radius (reff), Extinction (ext) and sulphate aerosol surface area density (sad).</p> <p><br> &nbsp;<br> For e.g. &nbsp;<br> saod550_HT_0pt4Tg_T2Mz-20220101-20230831.nc contains<br> Stratospheric aerosol optical depth (sAOD) at 550nm (2D-monthly dataset vs latitude and time) with 0.4 Tg SO2 injection Jan2022 to August 2023<br> Whereas other files<br> reff_HT_0pt4Tg_T2Mz_20220101-20230831.nc,<br> sad_HT_0pt4Tg_T2Mz_20220101-20230831.nc<br> &nbsp;ext550_HT_0pt4Tg_T2Mz-20220101-20230831.nc</p> <p>contain particle effective radius (reff),&nbsp; aerosol surface area density, aerosol extinction&nbsp; as 3D-monthly fields (altitude, latitude , time) from the same simulation.<br> Other saod and extinction files are also available at 870 and 1020 nm.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>Note that these are preliminary simulations, hence we do not expect good match with the observations.&nbsp; We plan to perform additional UM-UKCA simulations, comparing to the satellite and ground-based lidar measurements, and to in-situ balloon observations from Reunion Island rapid response campaign &amp; upcoming high-altitude balloon sampling flights in Brazil.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>References :<br> Dhomse SS, Mann GW, Antu&ntilde;a Marrero JC, Shallcross SE, Chipperfield MP, Carslaw KS, Marshall L, Abraham NL, Johnson CE. 2020.

Tightly coupled to the atmospheric Walker circulation and the oceanic east&ndash;west thermocline tilt, it effectively defines tropical climate conditions. In the Pacific, its presence permits the El Ni&ntilde;o&ndash;Southern Oscillation phenomenon. What determines this temperature gradient within the fully coupled ocean&ndash;atmosphere system is therefore a central question in climate dynamics, critical for understanding past and future climates. Using a comprehensive coupled model [Community Earth System Model (CESM)], the authors demonstrate how the meridional gradient in cloud albedo between the tropics and midlatitudes (&Delta;&alpha;) sets the mean east&ndash;west sea surface temperature gradient in the equatorial Pacific. To change &Delta;&alpha; in the numerical experiments, the authors change the optical properties of clouds by modifying the atmospheric water path, but only in the shortwave radiation scheme of the model. When &Delta;&alpha; is varied from approximately &minus;0.15 to 0.1, the east&ndash;west SST contrast in the equatorial Pacific reduces from 7.5&deg;C to less than 1&deg;C and the Walker circulation nearly collapses. These experiments reveal a near-linear dependence between &Delta;&alpha; and the zonal temperature gradient, which generally agrees with results from the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project phase 5 (CMIP5) preindustrial control simulations. The authors explain the close relation between the two variables using an energy balance model incorporating the essential dynamics of the warm pool, cold tongue, and Walker circulation complex.</p>
