Ionospheric plasma density irregularities, which are one of the primary sources of disturbance for the Global Navigation Satellite System, significantly impact the propagation of electromagnetic signals, leading to signal degradation and potential in...

The spatial–temporal variations of fine particulate matter (PM2.5) in Akure, a city in southwestern Nigeria, are examined based on multi-year continuous observations using low-cost PM2.5 sensors at six different sites. The average annual concen...

Future climate change and its impact on drought is critical for Uzbekistan, located in Central Asia, the world’s largest arid zone. This study examines the evolving intensity of climate change and drought events using multi-model ensembles (MME...

This study provides an in-depth analysis of the frequency of extreme streamflow in Italy, adopting the innovative perspective of the theory of records, and focusing on record-breaking floods. (i.e., annual maximum series, AMS) observed in Italy betwe...

Existing sub-grid parameterization schemes for clear-sky direct solar radiation (SPS-CSDSR) assume that the sub-grid cells have the same atmospheric transparency. This study shows that in undulating terrain, significant errors can occur when the sub-...

The rapid spread and accumulation of microplastics (MPs) in environmental ecosystems result from extensive plastic usage. MPs have been found in both indoor and outdoor air. Outdoor MP levels vary widely across global cities, with reported ranges fro...

The formation of low-pressure systems (LPSs) over the eastern Atlantic Ocean, near the coast of West Africa, is an exceptional meteorological/climatological feature that can lead to the development of hurricanes. The upper level diffluence induced by...

In this study, we aimed to demonstrate the importance of diabatic heating in extreme rainstorm weather events induced by the Southwest China vortex (SWCV) in different precipitation regions with a similar circulation background. The results showed th...

In the current highly industrialized living environment, air quality has become an increasing public health concern. Natural environments like forests have excellent air quality due to high concentrations of negative oxygen ions originating from low-...

Ensuring air quality in operating rooms is crucial for the health and safety of healthcare professionals and patients. This study, focused on 141 operating theatres in the Campania Region from 2015 to 2022, highlights the importance of air monitoring...
