Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.This paper describes the Met Office's new lightning location system LEELA. A brief overview of the upgraded hardware and geolocation algorithms is given. LEELA has improved lightning detection capabilities, especially at night. When comparing LEELA to the previous ATDnet system against ground truths LEELA has 100% storm detection efficiency within 5 km

Education and Understanding of Astronomy through Total Solar Eclipses
, 2003 A total solar eclipse has a great impact on ppeople, and hence there are very old historic records in China, Mesopotamia, etc. The impact still does not change in present times, and inspires wonder in us. The spectacular and magnificent event at a total

Sliding Mode Control in Aerospace Applications: A Survey
International Journal of Robust and Nonlinear Control, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Sliding mode control (SMC) enjoys robustness to matched and unmatched (in the case of minimum phase input‐output dynamics) bounded perturbations, and finite time convergence. Second‐order and higher‐order sliding mode control systems (2‐SMC/HOSMC) retain all the advantages of sliding mode control, but in addition can be applied to systems of ...

The Astrophysical Journal Supplement SeriesThe Vera C. Rubin Observatory is due to commence the 10 yr Legacy Survey of Space and Time (LSST) at the end of 2025. To detect transient/variable sources and identify solar system objects (SSOs), the processing pipelines require templates of the static ...

The new worlds observer: The astrophysics strategic mission concept study
EPJ Web of Conferences, 2011 We present some results of the Astrophysics Strategic Mission Concept Study for the New Worlds Observer (NWO). We show that the use of starshades is the most effective and affordable path to mapping and understanding our neighboring planetary systems, to

Embedded Interactions and Selective Disclosure: Network Effects on Conversations aboard Skylab
Symbolic Interaction, EarlyView.How do absent others influence our interactions? We argue in this paper that interactions are embedded within networks formed by chains of specific relationships between known third parties. The anticipation of future interactions with external others conditions our interpretation of the current situation and affects our behavior in the interaction. We

Meteorological effects of the 29 March 2025 solar eclipse over the UK
Weather, EarlyView.Here we present a comprehensive analysis of the effects of the moderate partial solar eclipse of 29 March 2025 on meteorological conditions over the UK, based on 1‐min‐resolution data from ~250 automatic weather stations in the Met Office's Meteorological Monitoring Network, finding a modest but nevertheless significant surface air temperature response

Ibis, EarlyView.Anthropogenic factors such as artificial lighting at night (ALAN) and natural factors including temperature and moonlight can affect the dawn chorus pattern in birds. However, most studies are conducted in temperate regions. We investigated the effect of anthropogenic and natural factors on dawn chorus timing in eight species of bird across Hong Kong ...
