In this study, four years in-situ measurements of atmospheric parameters (pressure, temperature and relative humidity) were carried out. The measurement was by placing an automatic weather station at five different heights: ground surface, 50, 100, 150 and 200 m respectively on a...

Where do such fermion properties as colour and flavour come from? We attempt to give a possible answer to this question in our paper. For that purpose we use the reducible (1/2,1/2) representation of the Lorentz group. Then the fermion corresponds to a doublet, each component of...

The meteorological effects on radio wave signals propagating through the troposphere are of great concerns in the design and performance of radio communication systems. Often, the effect can lead to anomalous propagation conditions such as ducting, super refraction and sub refrac...

The greenhouse effect concept explains the Earth’s elevated temperature. The IPCC endorses the anthropogenic global warming theory, and it assumes that the greenhouse (GH) effect is due to the longwave (LW) absorption by GH gases and clouds. The IPCC’s GH definition lets to under...
