Hailstorm: Disaggregated Compute and Storage for Distributed LSM-based Databases [PDF]

open access: yes
Distributed LSM-based databases face throughput and latency issues due to load imbalance across instances and interference from background tasks such as flushing, compaction, and data migration.

Analyse des nouveaux systèmes de corrélations de croissance entre bourgeons s'établissant après une grêle chez la vigne

open access: yesOENO One, 1982
A la suite d'un orage de grêle très violent des dégâts très importants sur les ceps ont entraîné des modifications profondes de l'équilibre entre les différents organes et en particulier entre tous les bourgeons épargnés par la grêle.

Detection of Crop Hail Damage with a Machine Learning Algorithm Using Time Series of Remote Sensing Data

open access: yesAgronomy, 2021
Hailstorms usually result in total crop loss. After a hailstorm, the affected field is inspected by an insurance claims adjuster to assess yield loss. Assessment accuracy depends largely on in situ detection of homogeneous damage sectors within the field,

Hailstorm in Dorsetshire [PDF]

open access: yesNature, 1880
AT about 1.30 on the 25th of last November, with a strong wind from the south-west, this place was visited by a hailstorm which lasted about live minutes, accompanied by rain and violent gusts of wind, and by a single vivid flash of lightning which was followed with scarcely more than an appreciable interval by the thunder.

Impact of Drizzle-Sized Cloud Particles on Production of Precipitation in Hailstorms: A Sensitivity Study

open access: yesAtmosphere, 2018
This sensitivity study examined the impact of drizzle on hailstorm characteristics and precipitation on the ground. A cloud-resolving mesoscale model with a two-moment bulk microphysical scheme is modified by introducing mixing ratio and number ...

Patterns and trends of high-impact weather in China during 1959–2014 [PDF]

open access: yesNatural Hazards and Earth System Sciences, 2016
The spatial and temporal characteristics of the frequencies of four types of high-impact weather (HIW), i.e. snowfall, thunderstorms, fog and hailstorms, were analysed in China during 1959–2014. Results indicate a significant decrease in the number

Gender Empowerment and Climate‐Smart Agriculture: Insights and Implications for Achieving Gender Equity and Climate Resilience

open access: yesAustralian Journal of Agricultural and Resource Economics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study investigates the effects of male and female empowerment, as well as gender empowerment inequality, on the adoption of climate‐smart agriculture (CSA) practices. Using a conditional mixed process model, we analyse survey data from 743 households across Henan, Shandong and Hebei provinces in China.

Climate change and hailstorm damage: Empirical evidence and implications for agriculture and insurance

open access: yes, 2010
There is much uncertainty about the effects of anthropogenic climate change on the frequency and severity of extreme weather events like hailstorms, and subsequent economic losses, while this is also relevant information for the design of climate policy.

Basis risk, social comparison, perceptions of fairness, and demand for insurance: A field experiment in Ethiopia

open access: yesJournal of Risk and Insurance, EarlyView.
Abstract Index insurance lowers agricultural risk but covers only covariate risks. Since farmers do not have complete insurance, they may develop mistrust of insurance when experiencing crop losses and not receiving payouts. Although recent innovations in remote sensing enable the provision of more complete insurance including coverage for ...
