Assimilation of temperature and relative humidity observations from personal weather stations in AROME-France by A. Demortier, M. Mandement, V. Pourret, O. Caumont, O. Caumont

“…However, degradation of short-range forecasts are found when PWS observations are assimilated with the current operational 3DVar DA scheme in the atmosphere or jointly in the atmosphere and at the surface with 3DEnVar and optimal interpolation DA schemes. These results demonstrate that the benefit of assimilating PWS temperature and relative humidity observations can be highly dependent on the DA schemes and settings employed.…”

Scenario construction and evolutionary analysis of nonconventional public health emergencies based on Bayesian networks by Yutao Zhu, Qing Yang, Lingmei Fu, Chun Cai, Jinmei Wang, Ling He

“…The scenario evolution path of COVID-19 was derived by combining seven types of major scenario states and corresponding emergency response measures extracted from 952 spreading scenarios.ResultsThe 26 NCPHE spread scenarios and 41 NCPHE derivation scenarios were summarized. Optimized and pessimistic NCPHE scenario pathways were generated by combining the seven major spreading scenarios to help decision makers predict the development of NCPHEs and take timely and effective emergency response measures for key scenario nodes.ConclusionThis study provides a new approach for understanding and managing NCPHEs, emphasizing the need to consider the specificity and complexity of such emergencies when developing decision-making strategies. …”
