The Price of the “Memoirs of the Geological Survey” [PDF]
THE publication of Mr. Skertchley's “Manufacture of Gun Flints,” in the Memoirs of the Geological Survey, seems to be a good opportunity for again bringing under notice the absurd price charged for some of the Survey volumes. In NATURE, vol. xviii. p. 562, Prof.

Decoding Variants of Pyrite, Arsenopyrite, and Marcasite Using an Electron Counting Rule
A new ‘structure determining electron’ (SDE) rule allows identifying marcasite (M), arsenopyrite (A), and pyrite (P) related compounds based on the electron distribution around transition metals. It offers a framework for categorising structural variants as compounds with M, A, and P layers. Nine new ternary representatives, including the first to show

Predictability of European winter 2020/2021: Influence of a mid‐winter sudden stratospheric warming
Boreal winter 2020/2021 was characterised by a negative North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO) pressure pattern, yet the signals from the ensemble mean of many seasonal forecast systems were for a positive NAO. In this letter we focus on the GloSea5 seasonal forecast system and investigate if there is any evidence for forecast error, or whether the ...

Error investigation of rain retrievals from disdrometer data using triple colocation
This work aims to provide error estimates of three in‐situ precipitation sources applying the triple colocation statistical method. The latter has the enviable advantage to succeed in characterizing the uncertainties of co‐located measurements being compared each other, without requiring the knowledge of the true value, which is often unknown.

Distinct response of near surface air temperature to clouds in North China
Cloud weakens Tmax and increases Tmin, and thus decreases daily temperature range (DTR), which is mainly due to the blocking effects of clouds to downwelling solar radiation and trapping effects to upwelling longwave radiation. However, the relative impacts of clouds on Tmax and Tmin vary with locations, with relatively stronger impact on Tmin and DTR ...

Colonial Geological Surveys [PDF]
IN his article on Colonial Geological Surveys in NATURE of March 4, Mr. V. A. Eyles gave a useful resume of recent discussions. There are, however, some further considerations to be noted. The figures he quoted from Sir Edmund Teale's paper of the results of mining operations, following upon the activities of Colonial Geological Surveys, do not include

Upper‐level midlatitude troughs in boreal winter have an amplified low‐latitude linkage over Africa
Composite mean anomaly of 850‐hPa temperature at 10–15° N 2 days after the strongest midlatitude upper‐level trough days. The troughs are located at the longitude shown on the x‐axis, and the temperature is measured 16.5° longitude downstream (east) of the trough. Black dots indicate statistical significance.

Abstract Saber‐tooths, extinct apex predators with long and blade‐like upper canines, have appeared iteratively at least five times in the evolutionary history of vertebrates. Although saber‐tooths exhibit a relatively diverse range of morphologies, it is widely accepted that all killed their prey using the same predatory behavior. In this study, we CT‐

We report on a meeting on progress and challenges in convection‐permitting data assimilation. Novel developments include the assimilation of novel observations such as cloud‐affected satellite radiances, ground‐based profiling networks and aircraft data, as well as methodological advancements in error covariance modelling, and progress in operational ...
