    Notes: Summary Nurses and nursing aides (n = 418) currently working on a regular evening or day schedule were compared in terms of sleep disorder symptoms. The relationship between past nightwork and sleep disorder symptoms was also assessed. The prevalence of individual symptoms varied from 6 to 53%. Evening workers showed a pattern of sleep disorder compatible with sleep deprivation, whereas the pattern for day workers was more compatible with insomnia. Past nightwork was significantly associated with symptoms of day tiredness and the quantity of sleep obtained was influenced by past nightwork. The prevalence of a combination of four insomnia symptoms (initial, intermittent, and terminal insomnia and fatigue during the day) was 5.4% among current day workers but no cases were identified among evening workers. Among day workers, the trend for insomnia across levels of duration of past nightwork fell slightly short of conventional statistical significance (P = 0.09). The relationship between a combination of four symptoms was neither modified nor confounded by variables such as age, chronotype, intensity of past nightwork, and latency. In conclusion, although some sleep symptoms were associated with nightwork, a clear residual effect on a combination of symptoms could not be shown.

    Notes: Abstract The purpose of this study was to examine whether the use of the DTL fiber electrode yields stable and reproducible electroretinographic recordings. To do so, luminance response function, derived from dark-adapted electroretinograms, was obtained from both eyes of 10 normal subjects at two recording sessions spaced by 7–14 days. The data thus generated was used to calculate Naka-RushtonV max andk parameters and values obtained at the two recording sessions were compared. Our results showed that there was no significant difference in the values ofV max andk calculated from the data generated at the two recording sessions. The above clearly demonstrate that the use of the DTL fiber electrode does not jeopardize, in any way, the stability and reproducibility of ERG responses.

    Description: The Sentinel Application Platform (SNAP) architecture facilitates Earth Observation data processing. In this work, we present results from a new Snow Processor for SNAP. We also describe physical principles behind the developed snow property retrieval technique based on the analysis of Ocean and Land Colour Instrument (OLCI) onboard Sentinel-3A/B measurements over clean and polluted snow fields. Using OLCI spectral reflectance measurements in the range 400–1020 nm, we derived important snow properties such as spectral and broadband albedo, snow specific surface area, snow extent and grain size on a spatial grid of 300 m. The algorithm also incorporated cloud screening and atmospheric correction procedures over snow surfaces. We present validation results using ground measurements from Antarctica, the Greenland ice sheet and the French Alps. We find the spectral albedo retrieved with accuracy of better than 3% on average, making our retrievals sufficient for a variety of applications. Broadband albedo is retrieved with the average accuracy of about 5% over snow. Therefore, the uncertainties of satellite retrievals are close to experimental errors of ground measurements. The retrieved surface grain size shows good agreement with ground observations. Snow specific surface area observations are also consistent with our OLCI retrievals. We present snow albedo and grain size mapping over the inland ice sheet of Greenland for areas including dry snow, melted/melting snow and impurity rich bare ice. The algorithm can be applied to OLCI Sentinel-3 measurements providing an opportunity for creation of long-term snow property records essential for climate monitoring and data assimilation studies—especially in the Arctic region, where we face rapid environmental changes including reduction of snow/ice extent and, therefore, planetary albedo.

    Description: Spectral albedo has been measured at Col de Porte from January until end of April 2014 in the visible and near infrared (400 - 1050 nm) at sub-hourly resolution using a home-made spectral radiometer. Calibration follows the procedure described in Picard et al. 2016 (doi:10.5194/tc-10-1297-2016). The specific surface area (SSA) and impurity content (black carbon equivalent) of the superficial snow have been retrieved for clear-sky days using an original methodology described in the companion paper Dumont et al., 2017. These variables are estimated by fitting the observed spectral albedo to a model that 1) takes into account the effect of the local slope and 2) uses the analytical Asymptotic Approximation Radiative Transfer theory (AART) to compute flat terrain albedo. The dataset includes calibrated albedo for solar zenith angles lower than 75°. The time series of SSA and impurity content are provided for the most likely seasonal scaling factor (0.943; see full description in the companion paper) and for two extreme values (0.920 and 0.964) which can be used to estimate the uncertainty range of the retrieved variables. Only SSA and impurity content that pass several quality checks are reported in the dataset (solar zenith angle lower than 75°, RMSD between measured and predicted albedo lower than 0.022, clear sky day only).

    Description: The deposition of light-absorbing particles (LAPs) such as mineral dust and black carbon on snow is responsible for a highly effective climate forcing, through darkening of the snow surface and associated feedbacks. The interplay between post-depositional snow transformation (metamorphism) and the dynamics of LAPs in snow remains largely unknown. We obtained time series of X-ray tomography images of dust-contaminated samples undergoing dry snow metamorphism around -2°C. They provide the first observational evidence that temperature gradient metamorphism induces dust particle motion in snow, while no movement is observed under isothermal conditions. Under temperature gradient metamorphism, dust particles can enter the ice matrix due to sublimation-condensation processes and spread down mainly by falling into the pore space. Overall, such motions might reduce the radiative impact of dust in snow, in particular in arctic regions where temperature gradient metamorphism prevails. Details on the data can be found in the associated paper (Hagenmuller et al., 2019). ----- The dataset contains: - 1_3D_Microstructure/Sample_[XX]_t_[YY]h.mhd : segmented 3D image of the snow and dust microstructure of sample XX (ISO: sample undergoing isothermal metamorphism, TG: sample undergoing temperature-gradient metamorphism) at different times YY from the experiment start.

    Description: Spectral albedo has been measured at Dome C since December 2012 in the visible and near infrared (400 - 1050 nm) at sub-hourly resolution using a home-made spectral radiometer. Superficial specific surface area (SSA) has been estimated by fitting the observed albedo spectra to the analytical Asymptotic Approximation Radiative Transfer theory (AART). The dataset includes fully-calibrated albedo and SSA that pass several quality checks as described in the companion article. Only data for solar zenith angles less than 75° have been included, which theoretically spans the period October-March. In addition, to correct for residual errors still affecting data after the calibration, especially at the solar zenith angles higher than 60°, we produced a higher quality albedo time-series as follows: In the SSA estimation process described in the companion paper, a scaling coefficient A between the observed albedo and the theoretical model predictions was introduced to cope with these errors. This coefficient thus provides a first order estimate of the residual error. By dividing the albedo by this coefficient, we produced the "scaled fully-calibrated albedo". We strongly recommend to use the latter for most applications because it generally remains in the physical range 0-1. The former albedo is provided for reference to the companion paper and because it does not depend on the SSA estimation process and its underlying assumptions.
