The Predictability of the Southern England 23 October 2022 Severe Downbursts
Accurate prediction of damaging straight‐line wind events from convection helps keep people safe. Using four regional ensemble prediction systems, we determine the predictability of the different aspects of the microburst wind potential index (left), which can be used to estimate the spread in expected downburst speed (right).

We demonstrate that fixed‐wing drones equipped with dual thermal and RGB sensors can effectively detect Antarctic fur seals, including those concealed in tussac grass at South Georgia. Thermal imagery significantly improved detection rates compared with RGB alone, while a combined workflow provided the most accurate population estimates.

Mediating atmospheric bordering: Migratory journeys in hostile environments
Short Abstract The main claim of the paper is that displaced people mediate affective processes that aim to shape their movements, and that such mediations are critical for understanding: the importance of sensory relations and spaces of movement that might otherwise remain obscure; the ways to challenge affective politics; and the relationship among ...

Corrected Method for Scaling the Structural Response Subjected to Blast Load
In scale-down tests of ship structures subjected to a blast load, the accuracy of the predicted response of a prototype is affected by the material substitution and geometric distortion between a scaled model and a full-size structure; this is known as ...

Engineered topologies surfaces with special wettability are promising for their ability to precisely customize wetting behaviors and incorporate versatile functionalities, setting them apart from randomly structured surfaces. However, robustness and durability have been hurdles to their broad application.
