Short-term calving front dynamics and mass loss at Sálajiegna glacier, northern Sweden, assessed by uncrewed surface and aerial vehicles by Florian Vacek, Clemens Deutsch, Jakob Kuttenkeuler, Nina Kirchner

“…Consecutive USV surveys of Sálajiegna's front, followed by point cloud based calving detection and surface-reconstruction based volume quantification, allowed for a detailed description of calving-induced terminus changes and is hence suggested as a viable alternative to the differencing of digital elevation models. By combining USV and UAV measurements, we identify sectors of high and low calving activity, a calving front retreat of up to 56 m and a thinning rate in the terminus region of 5.4 cm d−1 during the summer of 2022.…”

A long-term analysis of oxidant (OX = O3 + NO2) and its local and regional levels in Tehran, Iran, a high NOx-saturated condition by Ahmad Taheri, Babak Khorsandi, Mohammad Reza Alavi Moghaddam

“…Moreover, the local contribution of OX, reaching a maximum value of 0.15 ppb/ppb NOx (for both monthly and yearly analysis), contributes to the elevation of OX levels during nighttime. In contrast, the OX local contribution at daylight hours is mostly negative, with minimum values of − 0.15 ppb/ppb NOx for July and − 0.07 ppb/ppb NOx for 2012, indicating a decrease in the OX concentration with an increase in the local NOx emission. …”

Does Maturity Affect Cephalic Perfusion and T/QRS Ratio during Prolonged Umbilical Cord Occlusion in Fetal Sheep? by Guido Wassink, Robert Galinsky, Paul P. Drury, Eleanor R. Gunn, Laura Bennet, Alistair J. Gunn

“…The increase in T/QRS ratio correlated with initial hypertension at 0.8 GA (P<0.05, R2 = 0.38), and conversely, its fall correlated closely with falling MAP in all gestational groups (P<0.01, R2 = 0.67). In conclusion, elevation of the T/QRS ratio is an index of onset of severe asphyxia in the last third of gestation, but not of fetal compromise.…”

Variation Diagnosis of Maximum Precipitation in Jiangxi Province in 60 Years by WU Shaofei, WANG Qi, HUANG Binbin, JU Xiang, XU Changbao, HE Miao

“…Hourly precipitation data of 91 meteorological stations in Jiangxi Province during 1954—2012 were selected to analyze the variation of maximum precipitation in consecutive 1 h,3 h,6 h,12 h and 24 h using hydrologic variation diagnostic system (HDMS) .Firstly,in the detailed diagnosis,linear trend,Kendall and Spearman methods were used for trend test,and M-K,cumulative anomaly,ordered clustering,sliding F,sliding rank sum and other test methods were adopted for jump diagnosis.Secondly,the efficiency coefficient R² was employed to determine the final diagnosis results and conduct the spatio-temporal analysis.Finally,the spatial characteristics of the occurrence frequency of maximum precipitation greater than or equal to 16 mm,30 mm and 50 mm were analyzed.The results show the followings:① The spatial distribution characteristics of maximum precipitation in Max1 h,Max3 h,Max6 h,Max12 h and Max24 h were similar in Jiangxi Province.With the increase in duration,most stations with variations witnessed a jumping increase.Those with significant variations were more in the northern plain than in the southern mountain area,namely that the spatial distribution was dense in the north and sparse in the south.② The degree of precipitation series variation was positively and negatively correlated with elevation in the southern mountain area and the northern plain area,respectively.Studies have shown that atmospheric circulation indexes AO (Arctic oscillation),NAO (North Atlantic oscillation) and PNA (Pacific-North American oscillation) had negative,positive and negative correlations with precipitation at stations in the study area,respectively.Therefore,the atmospheric circulation indexes have correlations with the change of precipitation series in Jiangxi Province,which are one of the causes of the maximum precipitation variation in the period.③ The frequency of regional rainstorms gradually decreased with the increase in duration,and rainstorm events in the northern plain area were less than those in other mountain areas due to the influence of topographic factors.Through the analysis of hourly precipitation data of many years in Jiangxi Province,this paper is expected to provide some reference for short-term rainstorm forecast and flood warning.…”
