Mean field limits of co-evolutionary signed heterogeneous networks by Marios Antonios Gkogkas, Christian Kuehn, Chuang Xu

“…The approach is based on our formulation of a generalisation of the co-evolutionary network as a hybrid system of ODEs and measure differential equations parametrised by a vertex variable, together with an analogue of the variation of parameters formula, as well as the generalised Neunzert’s in-cell-particle method developed in [Kuehn, Xu. Vlasov equations on digraph measures, JDE, 339 (2022), 261–349].…”

Combining machine learning algorithms for bridging gaps in GRACE and GRACE Follow-On missions using ERA5-Land reanalysis by Jaydeo K. Dharpure, Ian M. Howat, Saurabh Kaushik, Bryan G. Mark

“…Unlike previous studies, we use a combination of Machine Learning (ML) methods—Random Forest (RF), Support Vector Machine (SVM), eXtreme Gradient Boosting (XGB), Deep Neural Network (DNN), and Stacked Long-Short Term Memory (SLSTM)—to identify and efficiently bridge the gap between GRACE and GFO by using the best-performing ML model to estimate TWSA at each grid cell. The models were trained using six hydroclimatic variables (temperature, precipitation, runoff, evapotranspiration, ERA5-Land derived TWSA, and cumulative water storage change), as well as a vegetation index and timing variables, to reconstruct global land TWSA at 0.5° grid resolution. …”
