Characterising City Scale Heat Climatology for Australian Climate Zones

International Journal of Climatology, EarlyView.
The Urban Heat Island (UHI) effect in Australian cities peaks at night, intensifying under dry conditions, clear skies, increased solar radiation, and low wind speeds. Long‐term observations show that nighttime temperatures in major cities have warmed faster than their rural surroundings and future climate projections fail to capture this disparity ...

Bias Correction of ERA5 Temperature Across Five Topoclimatic Clusters: A Comparative Evaluation of Four Methods

International Journal of Climatology, EarlyView.
ERA5 near‐surface temperature over South America exhibits systematic cold biases in daily maximum temperature and warm biases in daily minimum temperature. To address the continent's strong climatic and topographic heterogeneity, South America was partitioned into five topoclimatic clusters, and four bias‐correction approaches were evaluated. The Multi‐

Machine Learning‐Based Correction of Reanalysis Surface Radiation Fluxes Using Ground‐Measured Data in the Southern Brazilian Pampa Biome

International Journal of Climatology, EarlyView.
This study demonstrates that ERA5 provides more accurate surface radiation flux estimates than MERRA2 across the Southern Brazilian Pampa. Machine learning models, particularly Random Forest, further improved the precision of reanalysis data for climate applications.

Switchable Privacy Displays: Applications, Optical Measurements, and Evaluation With Focus on Automotive

Journal of the Society for Information Display, EarlyView.
Switchable‐privacy displays can be used to protect sensitive data in public spaces and to avoid driver distraction on codriver displays. The key optical parameters are the luminance in public and privacy modes, measured over the viewing angle, and the image quality for the intended observers.

The Unfolding Desert: Observed Structural Drying and Projected Aridity Risks in a Brazilian Family Farming Citizenship Territory

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Aridification in Semiarid regions is a recurring theme in Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) reports and has been documented in Northeastern Brazil. This study analyzes the spatiotemporal dynamics of aridification in the Lower São Francisco River “Citizenship Territory” (Sergipe and Alagoas) at a fine spatial resolution (~1 km ...

Correlating Mid‐Infrared Absorption With Radiative Efficiency in Passive Daytime Radiative Cooling Systems

Macromolecular Rapid Communications, EarlyView.
We establish a correlation between the mid‐IR photonic response of Passive Daytime Radiative Cooling systems and their thermal radiation performances, characterized within a dedicated setup that simulates the irradiance toward outer space under controlled and reproducible conditions.
