Revealing Dust Source Changes in East Asia From Past to Future: An Interpretable Deep Learning Approach

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Aeolian dust source areas are controlled by climate and human activities and are closely associated with land degradation, yet their long‐term evolution under global warming remains insufficiently quantified. An integrated framework that couples a U‐Net segmentation model with Shapley Additive Explanations (SHAP) was built to map and attribute

Influence of Microstructure on Mechanical Properties of Snow

Defence Science Journal, 1995
Snow, being composed of ice grains of varying shapes, sizes, orientations, etc., has been treated as a particulate material. The mechanical properties of snow have been described in terms of microstructural parameters. A set of variables, which characterise the microstructure of snow at the granular level, has been chosen and quantified following ...

Wear‐Activated Surface Engineering of Thermoplastic Polyurethane/Graphene Nanoplatelet Nanocomposites for Ice Friction Control

Polymer Composites, EarlyView.
Wear‐activated surface engineering of TPU/GNP nanocomposites through improved filler dispersion and interfacial anchoring of functionalized graphene nanoplatelets, leading to finer post‐abrasion textures and enhanced ice traction. ABSTRACT Graphene‐reinforced thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) composites offer a promising route for developing ...

Further development of adaptive parameter tuning in the numerical weather prediction models of Deutscher Wetterdienst

Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.
The introduction of adaptive parameter tuning in the numerical weather prediction models of DWD in 2022 substantially improved the forecast quality of near‐surface variables like 2‐m temperature and 2‐m humidity. Since 2023, refinements and extensions, primarily affecting the surface evaporation and its diurnal cycle, have led to further advances ...

Enhanced Tire–Snow Sinkage Modeling for Optimized Electric Vehicle Traction Control in Northern China Snow Conditions

World Electric Vehicle Journal
The interaction between tires and snow layer is fundamental for vehicle safety on snowy roads. Due to the instantaneous high torque output characteristics of electric vehicles, they are more prone to slipping when driving in snow, which exacerbates the ...

Evaluation and assimilation of Arctic Weather Satellite data in the AROME‐Arctic forecast system

Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.
The Arctic Weather Satellite (AWS), launched in August 2024, is a prototype for the future EPS–Sterna constellation of small satellites carrying an innovative microwave sounder. We present the first assessment of AWS in the regional AROME‐Arctic numerical weather prediction system, covering post‐launch calibration results and the impact of AWS ...

Enhancing severe convection forecasts with microwave radiance assimilation in limited‐area models

Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.
Microwave satellite radiances remain largely underexploited in convection‐permitting limited‐area models. We assess the assimilation of humidity‐sensitive radiances from the MHS instrument in the operational ICON‐2I model, improving the precipitation forecast of a severe convective event over the Marche region, Italy, substantially by correcting ...

Evaluation of a stochastically perturbed parametrisations scheme for sea ice in sub‐seasonal forecasts

Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.
Overconfident sea ice forecasts pose a challenge in subseasonal prediction. To test a potential way to address this issue and account for sea ice model uncertainty, this article investigates a stochastically perturbed parametrisations (SPP) scheme for sea ice in a prototype CY49R2 configuration of the coupled IFS‐NEMO4‐SI3 system. The results show that

Improving heavy precipitation forecasts through phase‐aware nonlinear bias correction of all‐sky infrared radiances using cloud top temperature differences

Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.
This study proposes a phase‐aware bias correction framework for all‐sky infrared radiance assimilation. Cloud top temperature differences between observations and model background fields are used to identify cloud‐phase mismatch and cold‐cloud regimes.

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.
