Therefore, accurate snow measurements of snowfall play a crucial role in characterizing the Antarctic ice sheet's variability and its impact on the sea-level rise. The remote sensing of precipitation and in situ measurements are, in general, challenging tasks and even more difficult in an environment like Antarctica. Radar profilers are increasingly used in Antarctic research stations to highlight snowfall processes through vertical reflectivity profiles and improve the quantitative precipitation estimation, also exploiting the synergy with surface measurements. This work summarizes the field campaign experience at the Italian Antarctic station \"Mario Zucchelli,\" analyzing the vertical profiles of reflectivity collected by a Micro Rain Radar (MRR), set with a vertical resolution of 35 m and a temporal resolution of 1 min. Such an MRR set up allowed us to use a trustworthy range gate just 105 m above the ground, thus avoiding contamination of clutter. Factors influencing the behavior of vertical profiles are analyzed, emphasizing the sublimation process and its implications on surface snowfall estimation at the ground.","PeriodicalId":356067,"journal":{"name":"2022 3rd URSI Atlantic and Asia Pacific Radio Science Meeting (AT-AP-RASC)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-05-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"117051228","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The objective of this study is to investigate quantitatively the induction of such electromagnetic radiation within cells at 6.78 MHz and 60 GHz respectively. A realistic model of the keratinocyte, which takes into account the complex morphologies and volume fraction of organelles, was developed. The finite element method (FEM) was used to solve the Laplace’s equation under quasi-static approximation. The results show that the power loss density (PLD) within the cellular and subcellular compartments increases with frequency due to diminished shielding effect of the membranes. At 60 GHz and 6.78 MHz, the average power loss density (PLDavg) within the cellular and subcellular organelles is about six and three orders of magnitude higher than that at 1 kHz. Also, in comparison to the background PLDavg within cytoplasm (CP), the intracellular traffic through the nuclear pores (Np) is submitted to three orders of magnitude higher exposure level at 6.78 MHz and 2.5 times higher exposure level at 60 GHz.","PeriodicalId":356067,"journal":{"name":"2022 3rd URSI Atlantic and Asia Pacific Radio Science Meeting (AT-AP-RASC)","volume":"87 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-05-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115883482","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The activating function was calculated and compared to confirm the presence or absence of local focuses.As a result, it was observed that sites with significant activating function change with a phase shift. Though all the sites appeared near electrodes, i.e., there were no such sites in the deeper part of the model away from the electrodes.
