GMM-Based Lightning Damage Detection for Wind Turbines Under De-Rated Operation Using the Scaled Power Curve

Energies
Many countries are actively promoting the large-scale deployment of wind power generation, both onshore and offshore. However, damage to wind turbines caused by winter lightning has become a growing concern in Japan. Japan has made efforts since an early

Bath Vibration During Open Eye Formation in a Physical Model of a Steelmaking Ladle

steel research international, EarlyView.
Using a physical model, this study shows that vibration measurements reliably predict open eye size in steelmaking ladles, offering a practical alternative to visual monitoring. Vessel vibrations stabilize faster than the open eye, except at high frequencies near the bottom.

Unusual vertical oscillations of a radiosonde

Weather, EarlyView.
In summer 2023 in southern England, several unusual balloon launches were observed which descended for a few minutes before resuming ascent. This unusual vertical oscillation was repeated several times in a ‘roller‐coaster’‐like pattern. This article discusses the behaviour of the balloons.

Do the public take action when a severe snow warning is issued?

Weather, EarlyView.
Extreme weather events pose significant risks to the population, making timely warnings essential for preparedness. The UK Met Office’s National Severe Weather Warning Service (NSWWS) has issued impact‐based alerts for over a decade, yet evaluations of their effectiveness remain limited.
