Spatial Downscaling of Daily Temperature Minima Using Machine Learning Methods and Application to Frost Forecasting in Two Alpine Valleys by Sudheer Bhakare, Michael Matiu, Alice Crespi, Dino Zardi

“…This study examines the performance of three machine learning models—namely, Artificial Neural Network (ANN), Random Forest (RF), and Convolutional Neural Network (CNN)—for spatial downscaling of seasonal forecasts of daily minimum temperature from 12 km to 250 m horizontal resolution. Downscaling is carried out with a one-month lead time, with analysis split into short-term (1 to 8 days) and extended (9 to 28 days) forecast periods, allowing a detailed assessment of the performance of models over time. …”

Influence of Cavity Width on Attenuation Characteristic of Gas Explosion Wave by Dengke Xu, Chaomin Mu, Zhongqing Li, Wenqing Zhang

“…Cavities with various width sizes, namely, 500 ∗300 ∗200, 500 ∗500 ∗200, and 500 ∗800 ∗200 (length ∗width ∗height, unit: mm), were experimented to further investigate the attenuation characteristics through a self-established large-size pipe gas explosion experimental system with 200 mm diameter and 36 m length. Results showed an evident attenuation effect on flame duration light intensity (FDLI) and peak overpressure with increasing cavity width. …”
