Equatorial African Lightning: Past. Present and Future [PDF]
Lightning strikes are one of the leading causes of death among natural disasters in tropical regions. The Congo rainforests host the highest rates of lightning flashes in the world and the lightning properties in this region have a strong seasonality owing to the cross-equatorial movements of the Inter Tropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ) throughout the ...

There has been much recent interest in understanding how abiotic factors such as light, nutrients, and soil moisture affect the composition and biomass of lichen communities. Meanwhile, whether and how ground layer vegetation such as bryophytes and shrubs also influence lichen communities have received much less attention, particularly regarding how ...

An extensive critique on expert system control in solar photovoltaic dominated microgrids
Solar and wind power have recently become a potential option in power systems and act significantly to meet load penetration demands. The present growth of such renewable energy sources has shown an exponential increase. The high penetration of such systems helps a grid effectively meet its load in an irregular demand but also creates some disturbances

Storm hazards '79: F-106B operations summary [PDF]
Preliminary flight tests with a F-106B aircraft were made on the periphery of isolated thunder cells using weather radar support. In addition to storm hazards correlation research, a direct-strike lightning measurement experiment and an atmospheric ...

Abstract Longer‐term perspectives—equivalent to the lifespans of long‐lived trees—are required to fully inform perceptions of ‘naturalness’ used in woodland conservation and management. Stand‐scale dynamics of an old growth temperate woodland are reconstructed using palaeoecological data.
