The emergence of a dipole-like mode in Arctic atmospheric circulation conducive to European heat waves by Doo Young Lee, Sang-Wook Yeh, Yong-Han Lee, Wenju Cai, Guojian Wang, Young-Min Yang

“…However, the impact of Arctic sea ice decline on changes in Arctic atmospheric circulation and its implications for mid-latitude summers remain unclear. Here we propose that the emergence of a dipole-like mode of Arctic atmospheric circulation, driven by the Arctic sea ice decline, is linked to the intensification of temperature rise and increased European heat waves. …”

Integrity Monitoring Technology of Mixed Constellation of High, Medium and Low Orbit Navigation Based on Genetic Algorithm Star Selection by Zhengcheng WU, Shaojie NI, Wenxiang LIU, Wei XIAO, Zongnan LI

“…Low-orbit satellites are widely used in communication, navigation, remote sensing and other fields, which is of great significance to meet the needs of communication and improve the accuracy of navigation and positioning.Integrity technology is an important guarantee for the safe and reliable operation of satellite navigation system.With the mature development of low orbit technology and the gradual application of a large number of low orbit satellites, it is urgent to develop the system integrity monitoring technology under the condition of mixed constellation of high and low orbits.This paper proposed a hybrid constellation integrity monitoring technology for high, middle and low orbit navigation based on genetic algorithm for star selection.On the basis of the traditional optimal geometric accuracy factor selection method, genetic algorithm was introduced to construct a fitness factor based on the linear weighted feature slope of the satellite geometric observation matrix, so as to achieve rapid convergence of user protection level to protection limit.This method further improved the integrity of the receiver by optimizing the way of star selection.Under the accuracy requirement of CAT I, for the ＆quot;BeiDou+StarNet-1＆quot; constellation, the global availability level of the proposed algorithm was 5.60%, and the enhancement effect was the best for the mid-latitude and low-latitude of the Eastern Hemisphere, which were increased by 7.01% and 6.42%, respectively.…”

Geomagnetic Disturbances Due To Neutral‐Wind‐Driven Ionospheric Currents by Cheng Sheng, Yue Deng, Daniel T. Welling, Steven K. Morley

“…During the recovery phase when the ion‐convection pattern retreats to high latitudes, neutral‐wind driven currents become the primary sources for GMDs at middle latitudes on the dayside due to the “flywheel” effect and the large dayside conductance. …”

Atlantic overturning inferred from air-sea heat fluxes indicates no decline since the 1960s by Jens Terhaar, Linus Vogt, Nicholas P. Foukal

“…Instead, we find that air-sea heat flux anomalies north of any given latitude in the North Atlantic between 26.5°N and 50°N are tightly linked to the AMOC anomaly at that latitude on decadal and centennial timescales. …”

Northern Hemisphere sea ice variability in a transient CGCM simulation of the past 2.6 Ma by Gagan Mandal, Soon-Il An, Jae-Heung Park, Kyung-Sook Yun, Chao Liu, Seungmok Paik

“…We find that the Earth’s axial tilt (obliquity) and axial wobble (precession) strongly influence the variability in high-latitude (>70° N) perennial sea ice and mid-latitude (35° N–70° N) seasonal sea ice, respectively, by modifying the net surface shortwave radiation. …”

Geographical prevalence and risk factors for pterygium: a systematic review and meta-analysis by Zhe Yuan, Lei Liu, Jingyang Wu, Desheng Huang, Jin Geng

“…We found a trend that the higher pooled prevalence of pterygium was associated with increasing geographical latitude and age in the world. The pooled OR was 2.32 (95% CI 1.66 to 3.23) for the male gender and 1.76 (95% CI 1.55 to 2.00) for outdoor activity, respectively.Conclusions The pooled prevalence of pterygium was relatively high, especially for low latitude regions and the elderly. …”

Error Compensation for Dead Reckoning Based on SVM by Xin LI, Xiaoming WANG, Jianguo WU, Jiwei ZHAO, Jiacheng XIN, Kai CHEN, Bin ZHANG

“…The error compensation model takes seven parameters as input: pitch angle, roll angle, course angle, forward, right, and upward velocity of the Doppler velocity log(DVL) relative to the ground, and dead reckoning time of the AUV. The difference in latitude and longitude provided by the global positioning system(GPS) and inertial navigation system(INS) + DVL combination compared with latitude and longitude obtained from dead reckoning serves as the output of the model. …”
