Recent Intensification of the Pacific Meridional Mode's Influence on the Frequency of Late‐Season Western North Pacific Tropical Cyclones

Geophysical Research Letters
This study examines inter‐decadal changes in the relationship between western North Pacific (WNP) tropical cyclone (TC) activity during the late season (October–December) and the simultaneous Pacific Meridional Mode (PMM).

Weather risk management

, 2010
CAT-Bonds und Wetterderivate sind die Endprodukte eines Verbriefungprozesses, der nicht handelbare Risikofaktoren (Wetterschäden oder Naturkatastrophenschäden) in handelbare Finanzanlagen verwandelt. Als Ergebnis sind die Märkte für diese Produkte in der Regel unvollständig. Da geeignete Risikomaße in Bezug auf einen bestimmten Preis Voraussetzung sind

Melt Electrowriting High Resolution Poly(ethylene‐co‐vinyl acetate) Scaffolds for Soft Tissue Engineering

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
This work pioneers melt electrowriting (MEW) of polyethylene vinyl acetate (PEVA) to fabricate ultra‐compliant, high‐resolution scaffolds. By integrating microscale precision with soft tissue‐like biomechanics, PEVA overcomes stiffness‐driven limitations of conventional MEW polymers, establishing a mechanically biomimetic platform for soft tissue ...

Position paper on the potential of inadvertent weather modification of the Florida peninsula resulting from the stabilized ground cloud [PDF]

Based on the climatology of the Florida Peninsula, we assessed the risk for weather modification. Certain weather situations warrant launch rescheduling because of the risk of possible impact on hurricanes, hail formation and lightning activity, strong ...

Smart Face Masks as Wearable Respiratory Sensors: A Review of Sensor Technologies, Materials, and Future Directions

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
This review highlights recent advances in smart face masks that actively monitor breathing. By integrating humidity, gas, temperature, pressure, strain, and triboelectric sensors, these masks track key respiratory parameters in real time. The article summarizes sensor mechanisms, compares performance across studies, and discusses challenges and future ...

Measurement report: Observational analysis of mode-dependent fog droplet size distribution evolution and improved parameterization using segmented gamma and lognormal fitting [PDF]

Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics
Fog droplet size distributions (DSDs) evolve under the influence of many physical processes, yet their development through the fog lifecycle remains insufficiently understood and challenging to represent in numerical models, constraining the accuracy of ...
