Sensitivity of near‐surface marine winds and wind stress in coastal Antarctica to regional atmospheric model configuration

Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.
Marine winds near coastal Antarctica are important for sea‐ice variability and ocean circulation. We test the sensitivity of simulated winds to varying uncertain aspects of the atmospheric model configuration. Winds (each configuration a coloured solid line in the figure) are sensitive to model physics, and notably we find that wind stress over a ...

Application of computer vision for off‐highway vehicle route detection: A case study in Mojave desert tortoise habitat

Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.
Our study leverages advanced computer vision models, which we trained on a unique collection of geospatial imagery, to detect off‐highway vehicle (OHV) routes in the Mojave Desert, a critical habitat for the threatened Mojave desert tortoise (Gopherus agassizii).

Interpretation of AIRS Data in Thin Cirrus Atmospheres Based on a Fast Radiative Transfer Model [PDF]

, 2007
A thin cirrus cloud thermal infrared radiative transfer model has been developed for application to cloudy satellite data assimilation. This radiation model was constructed by combining the Optical Path Transmittance (OPTRAN) model, developed for the ...

Flash flood disaster risk evaluation based on geographic detector and interval number ranking method

River, EarlyView.
Abstract Among natural disasters, flash floods are the most destructive events, causing significant damage to the economy and posing a serious threat to human life and property. Comprehensive risk assessment of these sudden floods is a key strategy to mitigate their impact. Accurate analysis of flash flood hazards can greatly enhance prevention efforts

Do digital platforms create entrepreneurial opportunities? Evidence from marginal areas

Strategic Entrepreneurship Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Research Summary This article enters the debate on the effects of digital platforms on entrepreneurial opportunities by estimating whether the entry of a home‐sharing platform shapes entrepreneurial decisions in marginal areas. We add a novel perspective to the literature, as we contend that when economic conditions are unfavorable, digital ...

Mythogeographies of anthropological knowledge: writing over the lines and footsteps of history in Southwest China

Journal of the Royal Anthropological Institute, EarlyView.
In this article, I delve into the field diary of Ma Changshou – a major Chinese ethnohistorian and social anthropologist active between the 1930s and 1960s – to show how his journeys through Liangshan, a mountainous land in Southwest China inhabited by the Nuosu‐Yi, led to a new kind of anthropological knowledge.
