Teleology and Realism in Leibniz's Philosophy of Science [PDF]

, 2019
This paper argues for an interpretation of Leibniz’s claim that physics requires both mechanical and teleological principles as a view regarding the interpretation of physical theories.

Dry–Hot Compound Events Driving the 2024 Pantanal Wildfires

International Journal of Climatology, EarlyView.
Extreme wildfires in the Pantanal in 2024 were driven by a cascade of heatwaves, rainfall deficits and the absence of the annual flood pulse. These conditions dried soils and rivers, enhanced fuel accumulation and enabled early and intense fire outbreaks.

Sampling Biases in Daily Average Temperatures From Greenland Climate Records

International Journal of Climatology, EarlyView.
Biases are introduced in the calculation of daily average temperatures due to uneven sampling times for the investigated weather station network in Greenland. The figure shows the network, an example of a daily temperature cycle with daily averages based on all or only two observations and an overview of how the number of observations per day changes ...

Copernicus observations of Betelgeuse and Antares [PDF]

Copernicus observations of the M-supergiants, alpha Ori and alpha Sco, are presented. The MgII h and k resonance lines are strongly in emission in both stars. The k line is highly asymmetric in both stars but the h line is symmetric.

Testing Global ISM Models: A Detailed Comparison of Ovi Column Densities with FUSE and Copernicus Data

, 2005
We study the ovi distribution in space and time in a representative section of the Galactic disk by 3D adaptive mesh refinement HD and MHD simulations of the ISM, including the disk-halo-disk circulation.

Projected Intensification of Hydroclimatic Extremes in Rio Grande do Norte, Brazil, Under CMIP6 Scenarios

International Journal of Climatology, EarlyView.
The graphical abstract presents observed (1963–2023) and projected changes in hydroclimatic extremes in Rio Grande do Norte, Brazil. It integrates dry‐spell duration (CDD) and extreme precipitation (R95pTOT) using CMIP6 multimodel ensembles under SSP1‐2.6, SSP2‐4.5, and SSP5‐8.5.

THE TRIAL OF GALILEO GALILEI BY THE ROMAN INQUISITION: A COMPREHENSIVE OVERVIEW

Journal of Social Sciences
One of the most famous trials in world history is that of the Florentine scientist Galileo Galilei in front of the Roman Inquisition. Based on historical sources, this article presents a comprehensive overview of the 1633 trial, the roots of which dated ...

How Well Do CMIP6 Models Simulate the Influence of the West African Westerly Jet on Sahel Precipitation?

International Journal of Climatology, EarlyView.
Climate models generally reproduce the WAWJ and August peak but simulate its onset prematurely and too strongly relative to ERA5. CMIP6 simulations struggle to reproduce the jet–precipitation relationship in the Sahel and underrepresent associated moisture transports.
