Investigating the Microphysical Characteristics and Environmental Influences of Warm‐Rain Precipitation in Fuzhou Region of China

open access: yesEarth and Space Science, Volume 13, Issue 2, February 2026.
Abstract Microphysical characteristics of warm‐rain precipitation that occurred in Fuzhou region during warm seasons of 2022 and 2023 have been investigated by using polarimetric radar data. Results of a modified warm‐rain identification algorithm indicate positive ZDR variation in the liquid layer should be added as a criterion to prevent events ...

Technology on Snow and Ice: Innovation, Monitoring, and Performance for the Olympic Winter Games Milano Cortina 2026

open access: yesScandinavian Journal of Medicine &Science in Sports, Volume 36, Issue 2, February 2026.
ABSTRACT Elite performance in Olympic winter sports depends on the interplay among the athlete, equipment, and the snow or ice. This naturally evolves with temperature, humidity, wind, preparation, and contact between the equipment and its surface. Together, these factors continuously rebalance the forces of gravity, aerodynamic drag, and friction ...

Micronumerical Simulation of Compression Failure and Size Effect in Lightweight Aggregate Concrete

open access: yesAdvances in Civil Engineering, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
To study the size effect in lightweight aggregate concrete (LWC), a two‐dimensional (2D) random aggregate numerical model was established based on the parameters of LC30 and applied to LWC specimens with different sizes. The size effect of LWC under static compression was studied based on the macro‐ and micromechanical failure mode of the material and ...
