A 3D terrain-aware Framework for Rain Gauge Network Optimization [PDF]
The International Archives of the Photogrammetry, Remote Sensing and Spatial Information SciencesRain-gauge network optimisation in complex terrain should consider more than station density or planar spacing. It should also assess whether the existing gauges adequately sample the elevation ranges and terrain settings that influence spatial rainfall ...

Interactive diagnosis for a grid network of rain gauges using fuzzy reasoning
Engineering Applications of Artificial Intelligence, 2014 This paper aims at designing a diagnosis tool to support experts for detecting and localizing faults in a network of rain gauges. This problem is presented in the context of human-machine cooperation. In this problem, it is impossible to model completely the whole expert knowledge about misbehavior. Diagnostic becomes a process where only a part of the

Bias introduced in rainfall risk assessment by a rain gauges network
Water Science and Technology, 1998 When large periods of observation are considered, the densest information are often a collection of the daily rain gauges network. As this information is scattered in space, the stochastic results and specially the rainfall risk assessment, are biased because of the rainfall events that are not ‘observed’ by the network.

Comparison of rain gauge observations with modeled precipitation over Cyprus using Contiguous Rain Area analysis [PDF]
Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics, 2005 Verification of modeled rainfall with precipitation observed by a rain gauge network has been performed in a case study over the Cyprus Island. Cyprus has a relatively dense rain gauge network. The applied verification method is the Contiguous Rain Area (

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.Melanin content directly controls fungal spore mechanical properties, with pigmented spores achieving rupture forces two orders of magnitude higher than hyaline spores. Environmental stress drives this quantity‐quality tradeoff; stressed species invest energy in melanin‐reinforced, mechanically superior thick‐walled, super‐hydrophobic spores, while ...

Acque Sotterranee, 2022 Rain gauge spatial sparsity and temporal discontinuity of data represent one of the major issues for reliable recharge estimations. In the past decades, the use of ground-based microwave weather RaDAR has dramatically improved quantitative rainfall ...

An Adaptive Inhibitory WSe2 Transistor for Retinomorphic In‐Sensor Image Processing
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.Conventional retinomorphic devices typically require deliberate gate‐bias tuning for each illumination condition. In this paper, we demonstrate an adaptive inhibitory WSe2 transistor that uses photo‐induced regime shift between the subthreshold and accumulation modes to achieve decision‐free, intensity‐adaptive image processing within a single pixel ...

Intracrystalline Void‐Mediated Toughening of Brittle Crystals in Quail Eggshells
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.In quail eggshells, the high density and disordered arrangement of intracrystalline voids inhibit lattice cleavage, suppress long‐range crack propagation, and promote deformation twinning and quasi‐plasticity, serving as an essential toughening motif. We show that these voids remain within a narrow subcritical size range and therefore predominantly do ...
