A new method to identify and explain sources of precipitation modification, illustrated for the western Netherlands

Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.
This study develops a method to identify the source areas of precipitation events, as illustrated for the western part of the Netherlands. Radar‐based precipitation data are traced back to their source areas and machine‐learning techniques are used to identify hypothesized causes: urban heat, surface roughness, and air pollution. We find that urban and

Neural Network‐Based Adaptive Super‐Twisting Control for Perturbed Nonlinear Systems: Lyapunov Design

International Journal of Robust and Nonlinear Control, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT A newly developed robust control strategy based on an adaptive neural network (ANN) estimator performed in concert with adaptive super‐twisting (ASTW) control is presented. The proposed adaptive robust control algorithm is applied to a class of perturbed nonlinear systems and features a significantly decreased control gain with respect to the ...

Dam It, I’m Stranded: Evaluating Fish Stranding Downstream of Two Hydropeaking Dams in Northern Ontario

River Research and Applications, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Globally, there has been an increase in the development and use of hydropower to produce energy. Hydropeaking is an operating regime that is used to meet real‐time energy demands; however, daily fluctuations in flows may result in fish becoming stranded.

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

Science 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
