Experimental study of higher-order moments in shear-driven boundary layers with rotation
Long lasting fog episode monitored by a radioacoustic system
A long-lasting and deep-fog episode, occurred in the western region of the Po Valley (Italy) during February 1992, has been studied by means of remote-sensing systems, coupled to more conventional meteorological instruments operating at ground level. The temperature profiles were monitored by a metric RASS and the three components of the wind profiles were measured by a Doppler Sodar. The typical altitude coverage of the metric RASS is 80-1000 m; therefore, it is suitable to measure fog-capping thermal inversions and temperature profiles above the fog layer, so that it makes it possible to follow with continuity the growth, the evolution and the end of the fog episode accompanied by subsidence conditions
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
The present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
