Multiscale controls on diurnal convection in the Maritime Continent: Insights from high‐resolution observations in Timika

open access: yesQuarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.
Across the Maritime Continent, diurnal rainfall variability is governed by interactions between regional‐scale atmospheric drivers and local land–sea breeze circulations. Afternoon convection is initiated over land by surface heating and propagates offshore, whereas morning rainfall develops over adjacent seas and moves inland under low‐level northerly

Compliant legs enable lizards to maintain high running speeds on complex terrains

open access: yes, 2019
: Substrate variations are likely to constrain animal performance in natural environments, as running over complex terrains challenges the dynamic stability of the body differently in each step.

Error in ERA5 2‐m temperature identified using GraphCast

open access: yesQuarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.
We identify a recurrent error in ERA5 2‐m temperature over the Ethiopian Highlands that occurs predominantly at 0600 UTC on ≈7%$$ \approx 7\% $$ of dates. The artefact is caused by the 2D optimal‐interpolation scheme assimilating temporally displaced surface reports (e.g., 0900 UTC) into the 0600 UTC analysis.

Climate‐change‐amplified wind‐related economic losses during Cyclone Harry (2026)

open access: yesQuarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.
Cyclone Harry (January 2026) produced significant wind and rainfall impacts across southern Italy. Compared with 1950–1987, present conditions show warmer temperatures and stronger winds, increasing exposure. An estimated 72 million euros of damage are attributable to climate‐driven wind intensification. Abstract Cyclone Harry affected Sicily, Calabria,

Embodied Design for Enhanced Flipper-Based Locomotion in Complex Terrains [PDF]

open access: yes
Robots are becoming increasingly essential for traversing complex environments such as disaster areas, extraterrestrial terrains, and marine environments. Yet, their potential is often limited by mobility and adaptability constraints.

Model‐resolution impacts on all‐sky infrared radiance simulation and cloud‐dependent observation errors over Indonesia

open access: yesQuarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.
Numerical weather prediction over Indonesia is particularly challenging, because convection evolves rapidly and is modulated strongly by land–sea interactions across the maritime continent. To constrain forecasts better, there is substantial potential in assimilating all‐sky infrared observations, provided that the associated observation‐error ...

Characteristics of quasi‐stationary band‐shaped precipitation systems in Japan between 1989 and 2022

open access: yesQuarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.
(a) Annual occurrence frequency of QBPSs (green bars), five‐years moving average (blue line), and regression trend (red line) for 1989–2022. (b) Distribution of the geographical occurrence frequencies of QBPSs with a 5‐km resolution for 1989–2022. Quasi‐stationary band‐shaped precipitation systems (QBPSs) are a major cause of localized heavy rainfall ...

UAV‐Based Precision Seed Dropping for Automated Reforestation

open access: yesJournal of Field Robotics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Wildfires and deforestation pose significant threats to forest ecosystems, motivating scalable methods for reforestation beyond labor‐intensive cultivation of native forest seedlings in nurseries. To enable large‐scale direct seeding of native species, this paper presents the design, analysis, and field evaluation of a UAV‐based seed‐dropping ...

Generating Complex Procedural Terrains Using the GPU

open access: yes, 2011
Generating fully 3D terrains is a dificult task, meaning that we need to store a lot of data or do a lot of computing or both. We can reduce or completly eliminate the data srorage by using a procedural approch, but this is where the problem gets realy ...
