Communicating Commander's Intent in a Chain of Command With Multi‐Criteria Decision Analysis—An Experiment in Air Combat

Journal of Multi-Criteria Decision Analysis, Volume 33, Issue 1, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Decision making in a chain of command with a rapid time frame is typical in military and emergency contexts, and yet the topic has received almost no attention in the MCDA literature. The commander's intent regarding the implementation of an operation is expressed at the top level of the command chain.

Divergent Changes in Oceanic and Terrestrial Surface Water Budgets Under Global Warming: Insights From ERA5 Reanalysis

Earth's Future, Volume 14, Issue 4, -Not available-.
Abstract Understanding how the global surface water budget (WB) responds to climate warming is crucial for assessing future water resources and hydroclimatic extremes. Here, we develop a process‐level decomposition framework and apply it to ERA5 reanalysis (1981–2024) to quantify WB sensitivity to global mean surface temperature (GMST).
