Investigating precipitation growth and decay due to orography using radar rainfall observations in Great Britain

Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.
Precipitation growth and decay due to orography was analyzed using the radar network in Great Britain. Storm direction and speed modulate the intensity of precipitation growth or decay. Windward slopes predominantly exhibit precipitation growth, while leeward areas show precipitation decay.

The radar signature of the Wind Lens: a less disruptive wind turbine? [PDF]

, 2012
We study the radar signature of a new type of wind turbine, named the Wind Lens. This design includes a flanged shroud around the turbine which concentrates the wind flow past the turbine blades and hence improves the efficiency.

Improving drought forecasting to support decision‐making

Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.
New satellite observations are integrated into a land surface model via data assimilation using innovative artificial intelligence methods. This enhances our comprehension of the effects of drought on forests and agricultural land on global and regional scales, enabling us to monitor drought‐related natural disasters and characterise regional exposure ...

Hexapod Locomotion Across Structured and Unstructured Terrains: A Data‐Driven Review of Modeling, Control, and Validation

Journal of Field Robotics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The design of a hexapod is complex and requires integration between kinematic models, control systems, and sensing. Existing literature has reviewed these sub‐systems in isolation. Since 2021, there has been no review of the field despite significant advancements in soft soil, lunar traversal, and artificial intelligence.

Robust Altitude Estimation For Over-The-Horizon Radar Using A

, 2007
In previous work, a matched-field estimate of aircraft altitude from multiple over-the-horizon radar dwells was presented. This approach exploits the altitude dependence of direct and surface reflected returns off the aircraft and the relative phase ...

The Emerging Role of UAV for Heathland Monitoring and Conservation: State of the Art and Perspectives

Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.
Heathland ecosystems are currently in a degraded state due to agricultural transformations and the effects of climate change. They are semi‐natural ecosystems hosting a variety of species (fauna and flora), and they also carry landscape and cultural importance, hence the need to pay careful attention to their conservation.

Numerical study on signatures of atmospheric convective cells in radar images of the ocean

, 1999
Current and wind variations at the ocean surface can give rise to a modulation of the sea surface roughness and thus become visible in radar images. The discrimination between radar signatures of oceanic and atmospheric phenomena can be quite difficult ...

Tourism as a Catalyst for Blue Carbon Restoration and Conservation: Pathways, Gaps, and Opportunities

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Tourism is a major driver of coastal economies worldwide, yet it is also a growing source of pressure on blue carbon ecosystems (BCEs) such as mangroves, seagrasses, and salt marshes. Nowadays, tourism‐led conservation/restoration is increasingly promoted under the banner of regenerative tourism, but how these projects are motivated ...

Examining the Role of Economic Complexity and Climate Readiness in the Climate‐Fishing Nexus

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper investigates the climate‐fisheries association in Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) nations from 1999 to 2022. A key objective is to explore the role of both the economic complexity index (ECI) and the climate readiness factor (READ) in the climate‐fishing nexus.

The Hidden Harvest: Harnessing Colorado's Geodiversity and Environmental Heterogeneity for Sustainable Agritourism

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Colorado's geologic, pedologic, topographic, hydrological, and climatic contrasts create strong but under‐synthesized opportunities for sustainable agritourism. This review investigates how geodiversity, and the broader environmental heterogeneity within which it operates, can be used to diversify farm income, strengthen place‐based visitor ...
