Ionospheric Disturbances Recorded by DEMETER Satellite over Active Volcanoes: From August 2004 to December 2010 by Jacques Zlotnicki, Feng Li, Michel Parrot

“…The study analyzes electromagnetic data and plasma characteristics in the ionosphere recorded by DEMETER microsatellite over erupting volcanoes during the life of the mission: from August 2004 to December 2010. The time window in which anomalous changes are searched brackets the onset of the eruptive activity from 60 days before to 15 days after the period during which most pre- and posteruptive phenomena are amplified. 73 volcanoes have entered into eruption. …”

Impact of tiered restrictions in December 2020 on COVID-19 hospitalisations in England: a synthetic control study by Daniel Hungerford, Benjamin Barr, Mark Green, Marta García-Fiñana, Iain Buchan, Xingna Zhang

“…Objectives To evaluate the effectiveness of localised Tier 3 restrictions, implemented in England in December 2020, on reducing COVID-19 hospitalisations compared with less stringent Tier 2 measures and the variations by neighbourhood deprivation and the prevalence of Alpha (B.1.1.7) variant, the primary variant of concern then, to measure hospital services’ burden and inequalities across different communities.Design Observational study using a synthetic control method, comparing weekly hospitalisation rates in Tier 3 areas to a synthetic control from Tier 2 areas.Setting England between 4 October 2020 and 21 February 2021.Participants 23 million people under Tier 3 restrictions, compared with a synthetic control group derived from 29 million people under Tier 2 restrictions.Interventions Tier 3 restrictions in designated areas were implemented from 7 December 2020, imposing stricter limits on gatherings and hospitality than Tier 2, followed by a national lockdown on 6 January 2021.Primary and secondary outcome measures Weekly COVID-19-related hospitalisations for neighbourhoods in England over 11 weeks following the interventions.Results Implementing Tier 3 restrictions were associated with a 17% average reduction in hospitalisations compared with Tier 2 areas (95% CI 13% to 21%; 8158 (6286 to 9981) in total). …”

CMEs and SEPs During November–December 2020: A Challenge for Real‐Time Space Weather Forecasting by Erika Palmerio, Christina O. Lee, M. Leila Mays, Janet G. Luhmann, David Lario, Beatriz Sánchez‐Cano, Ian G. Richardson, Rami Vainio, Michael L. Stevens, Christina M. S. Cohen, Konrad Steinvall, Christian Möstl, Andreas J.

“…In this work, we aim to analyze the whole inner heliospheric context between two eruptive flares that took place in late 2020, that is, the M4.4 flare of 29 November and the C7.4 flare of 7 December. This period is especially interesting because the STEREO‐A spacecraft was located ∼60° east of the Sun–Earth line, giving us the opportunity to test the capabilities of “predictions at 360°” using remote‐sensing observations from the Lagrange L1 and L5 points as input. …”
