Impact of Stochastically Perturbed Terminal Velocities on Convective-Scale Ensemble Forecasts of Precipitation by Shizhang Wang, Xiaoshi Qiao, Jinzhong Min

“…For the two-moment scheme, the symmetrical perturbations of the terminal velocities tended to produce lower falling speeds of precipitation hydrometeors; therefore, more light rain was produced. Compared to the unperturbed two-moment scheme, symmetrically perturbing the terminal velocities resulted in smaller precipitation errors when precipitation was overestimated but comparable or slightly larger precipitation errors when precipitation was underestimated. …”

Highway Traffic Speed Prediction in Rainy Environment Based on APSO-GRU by Dongqing Han, Xin Yang, Guang Li, Shuangyin Wang, Zhen Wang, Jiandong Zhao

“…After that, in view of the problem that the prediction accuracy of the GRU model was low in the continuous rainfall scenario, the APSO algorithm was used to optimize the parameters of the GRU network, and the APSO-GRU prediction model was constructed and verifications under the same road section and rain scene were carried out. The results show that the APSO-GRU model has significantly improved prediction stability than the GRU model and can better extract rainfall features during continuous rainfall, with an average prediction accuracy rate of 96.74%.…”

Research on Airport Target Recognition under Low-Visibility Condition Based on Transfer Learning by Jiajun Li, Yongzhong Wang, Yuexin Qian, Tianyi Xu, Kaiwen Wang, Liancheng Wan

“…From the perspective of transfer learning, this paper will explore the identification of all targets (mainly including aircraft, humans, ground vehicles, hangars, and birds) in the airport field under low-visibility conditions (caused by bad weather such as fog, rain, and snow). First, a variety of deep transfer learning networks are used to identify well-visible airport targets. …”

VMLP neural network design using optimization algorithms to predict spider suspend (Case Study: Watershed Dam Kardeh) by masooume darmani, mohammad nohtani, haydeh ara, Ali golkarian, Salman Sharif Azari

“…One of the most important processes of erosion and sediment transport in streams is the river most complex engineering  issues.this process special effects on water quality indices, action suburbs floor and destroyed much damage to the river and also into the development plans  Lack of continuity sediment sampling and measurement of many existing stations. due to the low number of hydrometric stations in Iran and the lack of continuity of sediment sampling and measuring in many existing stations, on one hand the exact amount of sediment load in many rivers in the country is not available and because of differences in climatic, hydrological and topographical conditions in the country, on the other hand, the preparation and calibration of sediment Erosion Models different regions, is unavoidableCalibration models of erosion and sedimentation in different locations is difficult and requires financial capital andthe time . the But evolutionary optimization algorithm able to resolve this problems of mathematical and experimental methods in this paper, a new optimization algorithm spiders can be made to education And the evolutionary pattern for input (discharge and precipitation) and rain-gauge gauging stations and Watershed Kardeh designated evolutionary algorithms and artificial network performance for 24 year 24-year dam catchment Kardeh for the period studied. …”

Influence of Typhoons on Chemical Makeup of Rainwater in Zhanjiang, China by Zhen Zeng, Xin Zhou, Zhiyang Li, Fajin Chen, Huijie Luo, Guirong He, Ziyun Deng, Chunqing Chen, Qibin Lao

“…Source determination demonstrated that the marine influences in the dry and wet seasons were similar, further indicating the limited impact of the monsoon climate on the ionic species’ seasonal patterns. The heavy rain and strong wind (> 47.4 m s−1) brought by a super typhoon led to an increase in ionic species carried from continental sources into ambient air, and such species were then captured by precipitation. …”
