An Improved Slant Path Attenuation Prediction Method in Tropical Climates [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
An improved method for predicting slant path attenuation in tropical climates is presented in this paper. The proposed approach is based on rain intensity data R_0.01 (mm/h) from 37 tropical and equatorial stations; and is validated by using the ...

Accelerating Just Energy Transitions in Brazil: Pathways for Social Development

open access: yesLatin American Policy, Volume 17, Issue 1, March 2026.
ABSTRACT This critical article analyzes energy poverty in Brazil from the theoretical perspective of distributive justice, proposing the implementation of a new social regulation called Contribution to Social Development. The goal is to support the process of a just energy transition leading to a broader debate on energy planning and social issues ...

Solar‐Wind Triggering of Substorm Onset During the May 2024 Superstorm: Coordinated Global Observations and Simulations

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 4, 28 February 2026.
Abstract Substorms are often described by a loading‐unloading cycle, where onset follows gradual accumulation of solar wind magnetic flux in the magnetosphere. Yet observations indicate that intense substorms can also be directly driven, though the underlying mechanism remains unresolved.

Landward Acceleration of Tropical Cyclones Making Landfall Along the South China Coast

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 4, 28 February 2026.
Abstract Accurate forecasts of near‐landfall TC characteristics (direction, translation speed, and intensity) are essential for timely disaster preparedness. Using best‐track data (1951–2023), this study reveals a significant pre‐landfall acceleration of TCs along the South China coast, with translation speed increasing by 35.5% and 16.4% during the 24

Retrieval of Total Suspended Matter Concentration Based on the Iterative Analysis of Multiple Equations: A Case Study of a Lake Taihu Image from the First Sustainable Development Goals Science Satellite's Multispectral Imager for Inshore

open access: yesRemote Sensing
Inland waters consist of multiple concentrations of constituents, and solving the interference problem of chlorophyll-a and colored dissolved organic matter (CDOM) can help to accurately invert total suspended matter concentration (Ctsm).

Transient, Localized Flux Transport Revealed by Electron Microsignatures Downstream of Saturnian Moons

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 3, 16 February 2026.
Abstract In Saturn's magnetosphere, the inward transport of magnetic flux is largely carried by localized injection flux tubes filled with warm, tenuous plasma, although their inflow speeds and spatio‐temporal properties remain poorly constrained. Here, we propose that these flux tubes can modify electron microsignatures, the small‐scale, absorption ...

Over one‐third of cancer cases and two‐fifths of cancer deaths in southern China are preventable: Insights from the latest representative population‐based cancer registry data and risk factor survey

open access: yesInternational Journal of Cancer, Volume 158, Issue 4, Page 909-923, 15 February 2026.
What's new? This study quantified the cancer burden attributable to modifiable risk factors in Guangdong, the most populous and economically advanced province in southern China. By evaluating 15 modifiable risk factors, the study reveals that over one‐third of cancer cases and two‐fifths of cancer deaths in the region could potentially be prevented ...
