TURBULENCE ON A FRACTAL IS NORMAL!

An international team of researchers including Dr Alessandra S. Lanotte, Institute of Atmospheric Sciences and Climate, Professors Roberto Benzi and Luca Biferale, from University of Rome Tor Vergata, together with Professor Federico Toschi from Technical University of Eindhoven and Dr. Shiva K. Malapaka from IIIT Bangalore, has found that turbulent flows might eventually loose their wild and intermittent character, when they are confined on a fractal.

ISAC research: on “Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics” journal the Review on particulate matter, air quality and climate.

On the summer issue of the open-access Copernicus journal (I.F. 5.053) the 80 pages Review: Particulate matter, air quality and climate: lessons learned and future needs. (S.Fuzzi et al., 2015) ( .PDF). Besides the first author Sandro Fuzzi, CNR-ISAC institute is represented by 3 more researchers.
The Review gathers scholars from 11 institutes spread in 7 European countries.

iSPEX campaign in Rome

ISAC-Roma, together with the Research Area Tor Vergata organizes a citizen science campaign, from the 1st September until the 15th of October. The campaign is part of the European iSPEX project, proposed by the University of Leiden Netherlands) and uses small optical devices mounted on smart phones to measure the presence of aerosols in the atmosphere.
