Machine‐learning approaches for characterizing the raindrop size distributions in Western Pacific tropical cyclones

Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.
Long‐term disdrometer observations are utilized to derive Z–R relationships for ‐the Western Pacific tropical cyclones. A hybrid moment‐based approach is employed to determine the interrelationships among pairs of gamma distribution parameters. Enhanced estimates of rainfall rate and slope parameter are obtained using machine‐learning techniques ...

A Method for Assessing the Risks to Sustainability Posed by Process Operations

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We present a framework for assessing the risks to sustainability posed by any given set of processes. The objective is to improve sustainability by enabling better decision‐making in policy and business contexts. The framework can be applied to any system of processes where available information supports discovery and quantification of ...
