[1] Using a combination of idealized radiative transfer simulations and a case study from the first field campaign of the Saharan Mineral Dust Experiment (SAMUM) in southern Morocco, this paper provides a systematic assessment of the limitations of the widely used Spinning Enhanced Visible and Infrared Imager (SEVIRI) red-green-blue (RGB) thermal infrared dust product. Both analyses indicate th...

introduction thermal infrared integrated dust index (tiidi) is one of indices that is presented in this direction. the index operates based on four brightness temperature difference including wavelengths 3.7, 8.6, 11 and 12 micrometer. according to the studies, btd (bt12-bt11) is used for cloud detection. btd (bt8.6-bt11) is the index for separation for dust from sandy surface and btd (bt3.7-bt...

Abstract Common envelope (CE) systems are the result of Roche lobe overflow in interacting binaries. The subsequent evolution CE, its ejection, and formation dust ejecta while primary is on red giant branch (RGB) gives rise to a recently identified evolutionary class—dusty post-RGB stars. Their spectral energy distributions (SEDs) suggest that their mass-ejecta similar dusty post-asymptotic (po...

The design of proxy techniques is an innovative tool to monitor the potentially toxic elements pollution in road dust. This study evaluated use dust color as a methodology identify samples contaminated with presumably contaminating elements. FRX determined concentrations Fe, Ti, Rb, Sr, Y, Cu, Zn, and Pb eighty-five samples. appliance RGB system Munsell cards identified five groups discriminant...

We revisit the distant future of the Sun and the Solar system, based on stellar models computed with a thoroughly tested evolution code. For the solar giant stages, mass loss by the cool (but not dust-driven) wind is considered in detail. Using the new and well-calibrated mass-loss formula of Schröder & Cuntz, we find that the mass lost by the Sun as a red giant branch (RGB) giant (0.332 M , 7....

Abstract This paper presents an improved algorithm, based on the D*-parameter, for dust detection over East Asian region using brightness temperature differences (BTDs) between infrared channels of Advanced Himawari Imager (AHI) onboard Himawari-8. The developed algorithm defines a index in form ratio BTDs: BTD 10.4 μm and 12.4 (BTD 10.4–12.4 ) to that 8.6 8.6–10.4 ). To identify with this inde...
