Influence of large-scale atmospheric circulation and Mediterranean sea surface temperature to extreme land precipitation: the case of storm Alex by Laurent Terray, Margot Bador

“…Extreme (greater than 500 mm) amount of rain fell in southeastern France and northern Italy on 2nd and 3rd October 2020 during a ‘Mediterranean episode’ triggered by the powerful extratropical cyclone Alex. Here we use a dynamical adjustment methodology based on constructed analogues to assess the contributions of different drivers to the magnitude of this extreme precipitation event. …”

Comparing Expert Driving Behavior in Real World and Simulator Contexts by Hiran B. Ekanayake, Per Backlund, Tom Ziemke, Robert Ramberg, Kamalanath P. Hewagamage, Mikael Lebram

“…One of the critical concerns in this area is the validity or transferability of acquired skills from a simulator to the real world context. In this paper, we present our work in which we compared driving in the real world with that in the simulator at two levels, that is, by using performance measures alone, and by combining psychophysiological measures with performance measures. …”
