Biomass burning aerosol heating rates from the ORACLES (ObseRvations of Aerosols above CLouds and their intEractionS) 2016 and 2017 experiments

Aerosol heating due to shortwave absorption has implications for local atmospheric stability and regional dynamics.The derivation of heating rate profiles from space-based observations is challenging because it requires the vertical profile of relevant properties such as the aerosol extinction coefficient and single-scattering albedo (SSA).In the s

Coupling Effect of Nonlinear Stiffness of Tape Spring Hinges and Flexible Deformation of Panels during Orbit Maneuvers

Many solar panels for spacecrafts are deployed by Tape Spring Hinges (TSHs) which have changeable stiffness.The stiffness of TSH is small when panels are folded, and it becomes large quickly in its deployed status.Since the solar panel is a thin sheet, flexible deformation is easily generated by orbit maneuvers.The coupling effect between the nonli
