Spatio-temporal regression kriging for modelling urban NO2 concentrations [PDF]

open access: yesInternational Journal of Geographical Information Science, 2019
Recently developed urban air quality sensor networks are used to monitor air pollutant concentrations at a fine spatial and temporal resolution. The measurements are however limited to point support. To obtain areal coverage in space and time, interpolation is required.

A Detailed Review of Colburn and Friction Factors for Various Types of Fins Used in Compact Plate‐Fin Heat Exchangers

open access: yesHeat Transfer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Compact plate‐fin heat exchangers (PFHEs) are commonly utilized in diverse industries, including aerospace, automotive, processing, and space. Various fin configurations, such as Plain fins, Wavy fins, Lance and Offset fins (OSFs), Perforated fins, louvered fins, and pin fins, are employed in compact heat exchangers (CHEs).

Nonparametric Methods in Astronomy: Think, Regress, Observe -- Pick Any Three [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Telescopes are much more expensive than astronomers, so it is essential to minimize required sample sizes by using the most data-efficient statistical methods possible.

Long‐Term Variability and Spatial Differentiation of the Frost‐Free Period in Iceland

open access: yesInternational Journal of Climatology, EarlyView.
Warming in Iceland (May–September) is expressed as fewer Tmin < 0°C days in the interior and more Tmin > 0°C days along the coasts. ABSTRACT Climate change in subarctic regions leads to significant transformations in thermal conditions; however, the long‐term variability of the frost‐free season (FFS)—and consequently, the growing period—remains poorly

Utilization of Multi-Temporal Microwave Remote Sensing Data within a Geostatistical Regionalization Approach for the Derivation of Soil Texture

open access: yesRemote Sensing, 2020
Land Surface Models (LSM) have become indispensable tools to quantify water and nutrient fluxes in support of land management strategies or the prediction of climate change impacts. However, the utilization of LSM requires soil and vegetation parameters,

Focal‐Feature Regression Kriging

open access: yesGeographical Analysis
ABSTRACT Spatial interpolation is a crucial task in geography. As perhaps the most widely used interpolation methods, geostatistical models‐such as Ordinary Kriging (OK)‐assume spatial stationarity, which makes it difficult to capture the nonstationary characteristics of geographic variables.

Evaluating Erosional Stability of Reconstructed Mine Landscapes Using Landform Evolution Models: Parameterisation and Decadal‐Scale Erosion Assessment

open access: yesLand Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Ensuring the long‐term erosional stability of post‐mining landforms remains a major challenge in open‐pit mining. Reconstructed landscapes must support the agreed post‐mining land use, such as cattle grazing in the Hunter region of southeastern Australia, requiring stable pasture and minimal soil loss.

Prediction of spatial distribution characteristics of ecosystem functions based on a minimum data set of functional traits of desert plants

open access: yesFrontiers in Plant Science, 2023
The relationship between plant functional traits and ecosystem function is a hot topic in current ecological research, and community-level traits based on individual plant functional traits play important roles in ecosystem function.

Evaluation of modelling approaches for predicting the spatial distribution of soil organic carbon stocks at the national scale [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Soil organic carbon (SOC) plays a major role in the global carbon budget. It can act as a source or a sink of atmospheric carbon, thereby possibly influencing the course of climate change.
