Mesoscale and Local Scale Evaluations of Quantitative Precipitation Estimates by Weather Radar Products during a Heavy Rainfall Event by Basile Pauthier, Benjamin Bois, Thierry Castel, D. Thévenin, Carmela Chateau Smith, Yves Richard

“…Mesoscale accuracy was assessed for the total rainfall accumulated during the 24-hour event, using the Météo France operational rain-gauge network. Local scale accuracy was assessed for both total event rainfall and hourly rainfall accumulations, using the recently developed HydraVitis high-resolution rain gauge network Evaluation shows that (1) PANTHERE radar-based QPE underestimates rainfall fields at mesoscale and local scale; (2) both PANTHERE and ANTILOPE successfully reproduced the spatial variability of rainfall at local scale; (3) PANTHERE underestimates can be significantly improved at local scale by merging these data with rain gauge data interpolation (i.e., ANTILOPE). …”

面向地铁车辆的多胞元铝型材结构压缩吸能特性研究 by 赵红军, 庄润雨, 杨国栋, 杨世杰

“…In this paper,an energy absorption structure of multi cell aluminum profiles for metro vehicles is proposed,which has the advantages of simple form and low cost.Through the combination of experiment and numerical simulation,the characteristics of the structure on energy absorption are studied.The experimental results show that the energy absorption capacity of the structure is stable,and the crushing force is not sensitive to the change of impact velocity.The relationship between the crushing force and the yield strength,the wall thickness of the multi cell aluminum profile is approximately linear.…”
