A month's worth of rain in a day?

Weather, EarlyView.
Phrases like ‘a month’s worth of rain in a day’ make for dramatic news headlines. But how often do such events occur? Are they more likely in certain locations or seasons? And can we expect more in the future? Here we examine these questions for the UK using observations and high‐resolution model simulations.

Behavioral response of moose Alces alces to summer heat stress

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Minnesota moose are heat‐stressed during summers, which is adversely impacting their survival. We used both movement and activity data to explore the behavioral responses of Minnesota moose experiencing heat stress, termed ‘hot moose events' or HMEs, to understand how both ambient temperature and available habitat contribute to the ability of these ...

Sensitivities of sage‐grouse to weather and climate: Implications for indicator species in a moisture‐limited ecosystem Sensibilidades del gallo de las artemisas al clima y las condiciones meteorológicas: implicaciones para una especie indicadora de ecosistemas limitados por la humedad

Wildlife Monographs, EarlyView.
Abstract Sage‐grouse (Centrocercus spp.) are considered an indicator species for sagebrush ecosystems but are declining range‐wide, resulting from a suite of anthropogenic threats that are reducing habitat availability and quality throughout the sagebrush biome.

Conductivity Analysis and Thermoelectric Behaviour of Larch Standing Trees Under Lightning Currents: Role of Moisture Distribution and Carrier Motion

High Voltage, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The direct effects of lightning strikes on forest combustibles form the foundation for predicting lightning‐induced forest fires. Accurate assessment of lightning impact is hindered by limited knowledge of the conduction characteristics of standing larch trees.

Study on Raindrop Dynamic Behaviour and Its Impact on Insulator Flashover Characteristics Under Airflow Synergy

High Voltage, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The synergistic effect of airflow on rainfall behaviour significantly impacts the flashover probability of insulators. This study combines experiments and simulations to investigate the influence of raindrop dynamic behaviour, shed structures and rainfall conditions on flashover characteristics under airflow conditions.
