- ItemCase Study: ENVRI Science Demonstrators with D4Science(Cham : Springer, 2020) Candela, Leonardo; Stocker, Markus; Häggström, Ingemar; Enell, Carl-Fredrik; Vitale, Domenico; Papale, Dario; Grenier, Baptiste; Chen, Yin; Obst, Matthias; Zhao, Zhiming; Hellström, MargaretaWhenever a community of practice starts developing an IT solution for its use case(s) it has to face the issue of carefully selecting “the platform” to use. Such a platform should match the requirements and the overall settings resulting from the specific application context (including legacy technologies and solutions to be integrated and reused, costs of adoption and operation, easiness in acquiring skills and competencies). There is no one-size-fits-all solution that is suitable for all application context, and this is particularly true for scientific communities and their cases because of the wide heterogeneity characterising them. However, there is a large consensus that solutions from scratch are inefficient and services that facilitate the development and maintenance of scientific community-specific solutions do exist. This chapter describes how a set of diverse communities of practice efficiently developed their science demonstrators (on analysing and producing user-defined atmosphere data products, greenhouse gases fluxes, particle formation, mosquito diseases) by leveraging the services offered by the D4Science infrastructure. It shows that the D4Science design decisions aiming at streamlining implementations are effective. The chapter discusses the added value injected in the science demonstrators and resulting from the reuse of D4Science services, especially regarding Open Science practices and overall quality of service.
- ItemReview of Environmental Monitoring by Means of Radio Waves in the Polar Regions: From Atmosphere to Geospace(Dordrecht [u.a.] : Springer Science + Business Media B.V, 2022) Alfonsi, Lucilla; Bergeot, Nicolas; Cilliers, Pierre J.; De Franceschi, Giorgiana; Baddeley, Lisa; Correia, Emilia; Di Mauro, Domenico; Enell, Carl-Fredrik; Engebretson, Mark; Ghoddousi-Fard, Reza; Häggström, Ingemar; Ham, Young-bae; Heygster, Georg; Jee, Geonhwa; Kero, Antti; Kosch, Michael; Kwon, Hyuck-Jin; Lee, Changsup; Lotz, Stefan; Macotela, Liliana; Marcucci, Maria Federica; Miloch, Wojciech J.; Morton, Y. Jade; Naoi, Takahiro; Negusini, Monia; Partamies, Noora; Petkov, Boyan H.; Pottiaux, Eric; Prikryl, Paul; Shreedevi, P.R.; Slapak, Rikard; Spogli, Luca; Stephenson, Judy; Triana-Gómez, Arantxa M.; Troshichev, Oleg A.; Van Malderen, Roeland; Weygand, James M.; Zou, ShashaThe Antarctic and Arctic regions are Earth's open windows to outer space. They provide unique opportunities for investigating the troposphere–thermosphere–ionosphere–plasmasphere system at high latitudes, which is not as well understood as the mid- and low-latitude regions mainly due to the paucity of experimental observations. In addition, different neutral and ionised atmospheric layers at high latitudes are much more variable compared to lower latitudes, and their variability is due to mechanisms not yet fully understood. Fortunately, in this new millennium the observing infrastructure in Antarctica and the Arctic has been growing, thus providing scientists with new opportunities to advance our knowledge on the polar atmosphere and geospace. This review shows that it is of paramount importance to perform integrated, multi-disciplinary research, making use of long-term multi-instrument observations combined with ad hoc measurement campaigns to improve our capability of investigating atmospheric dynamics in the polar regions from the troposphere up to the plasmasphere, as well as the coupling between atmospheric layers. Starting from the state of the art of understanding the polar atmosphere, our survey outlines the roadmap for enhancing scientific investigation of its physical mechanisms and dynamics through the full exploitation of the available infrastructures for radio-based environmental monitoring.
