Eclipsing binaries in the Galactic Bulge: candidates for distance estimates

open access: yes, 2005
The 222~000 I-band light curves of variable stars detected by the OGLE-II survey in the direction of the Galactic Bulge have been searched for eclipsing binaries (EBs).

Classification of Fog Life‐Cycle Phases Using Ground‐Based and Satellite‐Based Observations

open access: yesQuarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.
In this study, the life‐cycle phases of radiation fog events—formation, maturity, and dissipation—are automatically classified at a ground station in Southwest Germany based on visibility trends and thresholds. We demonstrate that visibility detects radiation fog phases effectively, while its combination with ceilometer data can detect the life‐cycle ...

Moisture and wind effects of Rossby waves on Western Pacific Intertropical Convergence Zone breakdown events

open access: yesQuarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.
(a) Organized convection: clouds are clustered at the southern edge of the domain, aligning with the warmest SST. Northeasterly winds prevail, facilitating convection confinement to the southern part of the domain. (b) ITCZ breakdown: the clouds are spread throughout the domain.

Identity Play: Middle School Youths' Provisional Self‐Making in Horizon‐Expanding STEM Spaces

open access: yesScience Education, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study introduces identity play as an analytic construct for science education to explore improvisational dimensions of middle school students' STEM identity development in multiple out‐of‐school learning experiences focused on environmental problem‐solving.

Sliding Doors: Frame Uptake and Rejection by Learners in a Museum‐Based Climate Learning Experience

open access: yesScience Education, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Science education efforts that support public understanding of modern climate change are critically needed. However, implementing climate‐related learning experiences can be challenging, as public audiences tend to experience a wide range of understandings of and emotions around the issue. In light of these challenges, many scholars have posed

A leap into the future: Towards an augmented reality learning environment in ski-jumping

open access: yesCurrent Issues in Sport Science
Introduction Professional sports are fiercely competitive. In ski jumping, for example, even small changes in take-off and flight can make a decisive difference between victory and defeat (Elfmark et al., 2022).

Climate change and asset prices: hedonic estimates for North American ski resorts [PDF]

open access: yes
We use a hedonic framework to estimate and simulate the impact of global warming on real estate prices at North American ski resorts. To do so, we combine data on resort-area housing prices from two sources--data on average prices for U.S.

Record‐breaking May heat in the UK: contrasting the extreme temperatures of 2024 and 1944 using climate attribution

open access: yesWeather, EarlyView.
This study quantifies the likelihood of May temperature extremes in present, natural (climatology based on pre‐industrial forcings) and future climates. The attribution applies in the context of a May heatwave comparable to the record‐breaking 1944 event and the persistent record‐breaking monthly‐mean temperature from 2024.
