Vacuum insulation panels (VIPs) for use in buildings
Through the ReCO2ST project, vacuum insulation panels have been installed on the demonstration building at Brunel University London and are being monitored for thermophysical performance. First results show monthly average temperatures in the range of 12.8 °C – 15.8 °C between the wall and the insulation layer when monthly average ambient temperature was 5.6 °C. A new submicron-scale polymer foam has been characterized for use in vacuum insulation panels. FT-IR results regarding radiative conductivity and specific extinction with and without graphite opacifier are presented. The thermal conductivity as function of gas pressure has also been investigated. This new materials has achieved a thermal conductivity of approximately 5 mW/(m∙K) under vacuum, similar to fumed silica. Thermal conductivity doubles at gas pressure of 50 mbar, making it less suitable as core material for long term applications unlike fumed silica, but more suitable than other known core material alternatives such as polyurethane or glass fiber.European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under grant agreement No 748256 and No 768576

Ship- and island-based atmospheric soundings from the 2020 EUREC(4)A field campaign [Data paper]
To advance the understanding of the interplay among clouds, convection, and circulation, and its role in climate change, the Elucidating the role of clouds-circulation coupling in climate campaign (EUREC(4)A) and Atlantic Tradewind Ocean-Atmosphere Mesoscale Interaction Campaign (ATOMIC) collected measurements in the western tropical Atlantic during January and February 2020. Upper-air radiosondes were launched regularly (usually 4-hourly) from a network consisting of the Barbados Cloud Observatory (BCO) and four ships within 6-16 degrees N, 51-60 degrees W. From 8 January to 19 February, a total of 811 radiosondes measured wind, temperature, and relative humidity. In addition to the ascent, the descent was recorded for 82% of the soundings. The soundings sampled changes in atmospheric pressure, winds, lifting condensation level, boundary layer depth, and vertical distribution of moisture associated with different ocean surface conditions, synoptic variability, and mesoscale convective organization. Raw (Level 0), quality-controlled 1 s (Level 1), and vertically gridded (Level 2) data in NetCDF format (Stephan et al., 2020) are available to the public at AERIS (https://doi.org/10.25326/137). The methods of data collection and post-processing for the radiosonde data set are described here
